Slaughtering Innocents for 40
Years
Hundreds of thousands of citizens, mostly young,
will gather in D.C. at Noon on Friday, January 25, to draw attention to this
nation’s most shameful of generational legacies – the massive targeting of and
slaughtering of innocents in the womb through abortion.
This year’s witness on the 40thth anniversary of Roe v. Wade decision that legalized
abortion will challenge our highest Court, the Congress, our citizens, and
America’s most pro-abortion President, Barack Obama, just days after his second
inaugural address.
Two generations have grown up thinking that the
intentional killing of children in the womb is an acceptable solution to an
unintended pregnancy, and one with no personal or societal consequences. Yet we
look at society today and are shocked to see an increasingly sick and violent
culture aimed directly at its children. As we rightly grieve over the massacre
of twenty seven-year-olds in Connecticut, we refuse to connect the 55 million
children that have been killed in the womb through the violence of abortion. No
guns here, only fetal children burned with saline, surgically dismembered, or
chemically poisoned by the thousands daily.
Adults
and students from the Westchester/Putnam area will join Americans from across
the nation. “We are going to remind President Obama who is begging for an end
to gun violence that we should not be paying for or promoting the violence of
abortion in any new “health” plan. We want taxpayer funding of abortion ended,”
states Hudson Valley Coalition for Life spokeswoman Brigid Faranda. “Planned
Parenthood is the biggest abortion provider in our country, with over 300,000
performed on children in the womb each year. Polls indicate that the majority
of Americans are in agreement with pro-life solutions and basic safeguards for
women,” said Mrs. Faranda. “We will not tolerate the violence against our
children or the further breakdown of our society.”
