I heard this story years ago while sitting in a Pro-life meeting.
I have no doubt of its merit.
It touched me then.....it still does today.
A few years ago, I was a volunteer in a Crisis Pregnancy Center.
We gave free pregnancy tests....and listened to the hearts of the women who came in.
I will never forget this beautiful 20 something young professional lady who came in in her crisp, businesslike suit.
She sat there for an hour.....tearful and heartbroken because her pregnancy test was negative.
She was married and successful.....but feared the 'so-called legal' abortion she had in her younger years had robbed her of the ability to have future children.
That can & does happen....
We also had women come in who had had multiple abortions already.
For years, every time I heard about the Holocaust and the 6 million Jews who were murdered, it seemed like a tremendous number of souls.
There were also Christians murdered with them....many who had tried to shelter & protect them.
Nowadays, we have a new number......40 million.
40 million souls.......40 million ....oh the possibilities.....doctors, nurses, explorers, pastors, research scientists, engineers, mommys, teachers.....the list is endless.
Sacrificed on the altar of expediency.
May God have mercy.
This is the challenge to all of us. We must speak up and do what IS in our power to do.
