PRAYER FOR LIFE

 January 19, 2005

 

DECEMBER 7, 1941, A DATE PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DECLARED A DAY OF INFAMY, AND THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR, A DASTARDLY ACT ON OUR NATION.    THE NEXT DAY CONGRESS DECLARED WAR.  THE SUCCEEDING FOUR YEARS COST THE UNITED STATES NEARLY A HALF MILLION LIVES.

 

JANUARY 22, 1973.  NO PRESIDENT DECLARED THIS DATE, ONE OF INFAMY OR CHARACTERIZED THE EVENTS OF THAT DAY, DASTARDLY.  WAR WAS NOT DECLARED BY OUR CONGRESS ON AN ENEMY.  IT WAS DECLARED ON THE INNOCENT BY SEVEN MEN IN BLACK ROBES WHOSE DUTY IT WAS TO PROTECT  THE POWERLESS FROM THE POWERFUL, TO ENSURE JUSTICE AND TO UPHOLD  THE RIGHT FROM WHICH ALL OTHER RIGHTS DERIVE, THE RIGHT TO LIFE. 

 

OVER THE LAST 32 YEARS, TENS OF MILLIONS OF UNBORN AMERICAN CITIZENS HAVE BEEN DENIED THEIR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO BE BORN IN THIS GREAT NATION.  HOW MUCH LONGER WILL ROE V. WADE PREVENT THE RIGHTEOUS, GOD-FEARING PEOPLE OF IOWA THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SANCTITY OF LIFE? THE CHRISTIAN COALITION OF IOWA PRAYS IT WILL NOT BE MUCH LONGER.

 

IN UNION WITH THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO PROTECT THE UNBORN, THE CHRISTIAN COALITION IS PREPARED TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT TO MINIMIZE ROE V. WADE CASUALTIES UNTIL ROE V. WADE IS NO LONGER THE LAW OF THE LAND.  THAT DAY WILL COME; THAT DAY MUST COME.
