Today marks the 37
th anniversary of a Supreme Court decision that will match the infamy of both
Dred Scott and
Korematsu in its repugnance. Like those other two nefarious verdicts,
Roe v. Wade made it okay for some people to take away the rights of others based on nothing more than the convenience of the former. Going beyond merely legalizing the taking of innocent life,
Roe forbid the states and counties of America from doing much of anything to protect that very life.
Take heart my friends. While an economically distressed country elected the most anti-life Congress and President in 2008, in 2009 all major surveys are showing that, finally, a majority-yes a majority not just a plurality-of Americans identify themselves as prolife. And they are real prolife, not the bizarre ‘personally I am prolife but…’ variety. Even in the very bastion of the anti-life forces, just two days ago we elected a United States Senator who, while not fully prolife, has openly admitted that at some point, the elimination of an unborn life is, well, murder.
We have come a long way. And we have a long, long way to go. But take it from someone who has known America’s history and felt the character of her people: that day is not too far off when we will live up to the full meaning of our Declaration of Independence and redeem the pledge that all of us are endowed by the Creator with the unalienable right to life. It may not happen in my lifetime, but it will someday. We are winning, albeit very slowly, the battle of hearts and minds; we shall win the battle of laws and justice too.
Have faith.
