"The Wabash Cannonball, post: 74154594, member: 418250"]I think we're going to need a lot more than an Unborn Child Day to reverse this disturbing abortion trend.
Yes, but putting the issue in the news and before the public--in a variety of ways--is important. Many organizations on the political Left have done it for decades and it has a way of normalizing what had been considered controversial or just something that some unusual group cared about. Look at the widespread use of that ''peace symbol'' or gay pride parades for instance.

Understand that what abortion defenders really want is consequence-free sex and a denial that the sexual act is supposed to produce children. It won’t be enough to forbid abortion or appeal to their shrinking consciences to forbear from murder.

Also pray for miscarried children and their parents. So many women have done the right thing and decided to carry their babies, only for their babies to not make it to birth. These women (and their whole family) experience great pain after this loss.

It makes things even sadder that people choose to abort their babies like unwanted trash, when some people go their whole life struggling to concieve even a single child.

It's a start but only a start a small step. The CoG dropped the ball on this never speaking out. It has now become a literal self-genocide, one which the overwhelming majority of the population still can care less about their self imposed extinction.
