Prayers ( and there were lots of them) didn’t prevent it here. Action is necessary. But prayers can’t hurt.
America was a different country in 1973.....Roe v Wade
We had just ended a divisive & hard fought war.....everything was still raw.....
We didn’t have the Internet to alert us!
The first and foremost reason I even paid attention to the abortion issue is because the loyal and Prolife Catholics in my area kept it on the front pages with their protests, God bless them!
And even as churchgoing as I had always been.....but not very political.....it took me even more years to become fully aware of what abortion meant and what it was doing to our country.
Then I became fully involved.
