Where Have All The Soldiers Gone?

Why are there so many more women picketing and counseling and praying outside abortion clinics than men? Are we too busy working; or performing other charities; or sticking another 6-pack behind our belts; or watching another meaningless sports event? Or is it that we don’t think about it?

The other, but closely related, “Scarlet A-word”, Abortion seems to have dropped from our Preachers’ vocabularies. Possibly the truth is too uncomfortable to talk about, especially since acknowledging the truth would require action. Possibly it’s still here but kept quietly in some renovated vault at the Cathedral.

I find it tragic that, “Thou shall not kill” and the obvious, daily murders committed by abortionists are mentioned far less from the pulpit than the unproven theory of Global Warming.

Unfortunately, ignoring evil doesn’t ever make it go away. Abortion is the curse of our generation and a glaring example of social engineering run amuck. Plus, it’s cold-blooded murder. The end of killing innocent babies must be a social imperative for every right-minded person.

Want to help? Start now with a prayer for the sidewalk soldiers who protest this disgrace, then write a check to support the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, PO Box 25513, Rochester NY 14625 and then call Mary at 585/218-4051 to join in as we fight for life.

Your Lord is calling for prayers and contributors and demonstrators and sidewalk counselors, once a week or once a month or every day.

Use one or two wasted hours once a week to stop the killing. You’ll feel good about yourself. And as Jack Palvino says, “The rewards are out of this world.”

Call Mary at 585/218-4051.
