Right to Life

Today we attended the Georgia Right to Life March in downtown Atlanta. It was awesome. The Right to Life organization speaks out against the unjustice being done to our unborn children through abortion. We gathered today to because it is the anniversary of Roe v. Wade (1973) which legalized abortion in the United States. It is estimated that since 1973 there have been 48 million babies aborted in the United States. Approximately 24% of all pregnancies in the U.S. end in abortion. Those numbers alone were cause enough for us to join the GRTL today. We met on the Capital steps for praise and worship, and then had a series of speakers, one of which was the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr. She herself has had two abortions, was about to have a third, and the men in her family stepped in and convinced her otherwise. She now speaks out against abortion realizing the devastating effects it has on the unborn and the mother. After the speakers we participated in a silent one mile march in memory of those that have fallen victim to abortion. Everyone participating was so quiet and respectful as we marched around the streets of Atlanta. As we began the march they played the sound of a heartbeat. They then played Taps on the trumpet, and continued to play it as we walked our mile. It really made what we were doing seem real. I was so touched to see how many people came out to support the cause. Aaron & I have had a burning passion to see abortion outlawed in the United States, and would encourage everyone to join the cause in your own state. We can make a difference if we stand united under Christ and claim His promises for the unborn. Even with the bitter cold, today was totally worth it. It only ignited my passion more. Below are some of my favorite images from the day.

Jesus, I plead your blood over my sins, and the sins of my nation.

God, end abortion. Send revival to America!
