National Sanctity of Human Life Day

By proclamation of the President of the United States, today is National Sanctity of Human Life Day. As the President says, it is a day to "underscore our commitment to respecting and protecting the life and dignity of every human being".

Townhall columnist Floyd Brown has an excellent piece on Ronald Reagan and the Annual March for Life that will be held on the Washington Mall Monday. Here's my favorite part of the article,

"Abortion was, in President Reagan’s view, an infringement on God’s sacred command to protect innocent human life. Indeed, Reagan felt so passionately about the right to life that he felt without it, other rights had no meaning. He called the restoration of the right to life the most important challenge facing the character of America. President Reagan believed that the continuance of abortion, the taking of some 4,000 lives of children everyday, would only bring about trouble for America. He even posed the ominous question: “Do you really think… God will protect us in a time of crisis even as we turn away from him in our day-to- day life?”

I firmly believe our country has, collectively, turned it's back against God and Christ. But many are blinded and simply can't see this. Abortion is just one of the many symptoms of this national sickness.
