A Quiet Little Woman

35 years...

Today marks the 35th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade.  I wasn't alive when this happened, but I was reading today on multiple blogs about the horror of it all... Crystal at Biblical Womanhood has some very thought provoking posts over there, if you want to stop by.  To quote Mrs. Wilt:

Sometimes it is difficult for us to comprehend the magnitude of the toll the abortion holocaust has taken in America over the past 35 years. When one says that over 50 million children have been slaughtered by legalized abortion since January 22, 1973, the numbers just don't seem to register. Below is a map of the United States of America indicating the number of states that would have their populations totally wiped out if war were to come to our shores and 50 million people were killed.

I'm so sad that the world is coming to this!  It just makes my heart ache to think what God must be feeling... to look at this world that HE created becoming so corrupted and awful!! 

I loved what blessedmamaof10 said at her blog about the movie Amazing Grace (if you haven't seen this movie you should!!), Wilberforce wasn't many voices, he was only one, but he was able to help to abolish slavery with making his voice be heard!  We may not be a very powerful person, but we can inspire others and eventually we will be a strong force for good and for GOD!! 

Please pray for this nation today, pray for the young women are pregnant, pray that they will make the right choice and choose life!

On a lighter note... (another hat-tip to Crystal for this one ;) here is the amazing story of a woman who CHOSE LIFE!

Oh alex!! I just cried when I read the story that doug posted on his blog of his wife beall!! Oh wow!!!!!!!!
She is an amazing woman and to think she may have not been born!!! We have talked so much about abortion today at home and we all agreed that the world may have missed some pretty amazing people had they been allowed to grow up and have a chance to live!

The map was pretty shocking... and a good reality check too......
