This is Sanctity of Life Sunday. It is a day to commemorate the sacredness of human life and call attention to the many lives lost due to abortion. It was begun by President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
I am unashamedly pro-life. I believe I’ve heard all the arguments from pro-choice people. I don’t wish to hear more.
Why am I so against abortion? First, I believe that life is a gift and that each person is made in the image of God with a unique personality and potential. Life is a miracle that can’t be replicated.
Second, every person, no matter his or her stage of development, is guaranteed the right to life by our Constitution. Third, I believe the Lord meant it when He said, “Thou shalt not kill.” A baby is completely innocent of doing wrong and is completely helpless. He doesn’t have a chance to plead his case or to escape from harm.
Matthew 19: 13 Some people brought children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and to pray for them, but the disciples scolded the people. 14 Jesus said, “Let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15 He placed his hands on them and then went away.
Life is our most sacred gift. Every child deserves a chance to live and breathe and develop. Childhood is a special time, a time of learning and growing and becoming. That should never be taken away.
Two Little Feet
Two little feet, ten little toes,
Leave their impressions today.
Soon they will wear two little shoes,
And be running and jumping at play.
Two little feet, too little time,
Before they are walking to school,
Kicking a rock, or skipping a rope,
Wading a puddle or jumping a pool.
Two little feet, One little child,
Will soon go their own way,
But footprints in my mind recall,
They stood here yesterday.
