Well, this week is pro-life week here in Washington, D.C. and pro-life week all across the country, because Roe v. Wade is no longer the law of the land. And so there are celebrations during this time, but a focus on abortion in this Dobbs society we are now living in. And sadly, far too many women have tragically experienced the deep-rooted emotional pain of abortion. Many of these chose not to speak of their experiences, the pain being far too severe to mention. It’s a silent, secret sin. Then there are millions of unborn lives that can’t speak at all. So they need others to speak for them.
That’s why each January, thousands gather in cities across the country in the March for Life. And while this is certainly a cold winter here in Washington, D.C., the ground is covered with snow in more ways than one, it will not deter those dedicated to the sanctity of unborn life. It hasn’t before and it never will. On a cold January morning in 1987, 10,000 gathered in the streets of Washington, D.C. An unforgiving Blizzard raged through the city at that time. Since the first few years following the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, abortions had more than doubled, over 1.6 million babies each year. So yes, the weather was brutal that day. And yet they still marched, and have been marching every January since. A manifestation of the profound belief in the sanctity of life is exhibited here in our nation’s capital, and now all across the country.
Those who marched for the decades saw that change that could bring since Roe v. Wade was now overturned. A recent study analyzed the impact in a few states with abortion bans, and according to the study, over 30,000 more babies have been born in those states alone, 30,000 lives saved, and that number is only growing as each day passes, each one a testament to the enduring commitment of those who stood against the prevailing narrative.
It is tragically too late to save the millions of unborn lives that were lost, a loss that was significant among African American communities, which was disproportionately targeted by the racist founder of Planned Parenthood and is still targeted today. But the thing about newborn life is that it is not about looking backwards at the past. It’s about the future and protecting lives. Thousands still marched today, many are in the fight today as abortion extremists are trying to make sure that it’s embedded in constitutions across our country that women should be able to kill their offspring. Abortion is still the topic of discussions, debates and elections. Abortion is a crime against humanity. And that’s why we march, that’s why it will not be out of the public conversation.
Abortion is a great illusion, and the nightmares and the pain and the regret that result from that illusion are proof that there is no escape route in life from personal responsibility. Legal abortion provides this deadly illusion, and women have bought the lie. But a clever brain cannot delude a knowing heart. So the march continues on, the fight continues on, now in the states. There’s a reason that the first inalienable right declared in the Constitution says life.

Abortion is a crime against humanity
Jan 19
By Straight Arrow News
The debate over abortion rights, no longer protected federally following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, is now unfolding in states around the country. Abortion rights supporters have criticized states for going so far as to even outlaw medically necessary procedures, while abortion opponents say outlawing abortions saves more lives overall.
Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker asserts that abortion is a “sin” and “a crime against humanity.” Parker accuses pro-choice Americans of seeking “the right to kill” their own children and celebrates the progress she believes Americans have accomplished in restricting abortion access at the state and federal levels.
