What are you doing for the next 40 days?

What are you going to do for the next 40 days? I am a huge supporter of 40 Days for Life and their fight to save the unborn from a brutal death called abortion. In my home town of Dayton, Ohio, there was a newsworthy first day of prayer to bring attention and acknowledgement to the abortion clinics in the Miami Valley area. 4o Days promotes closing down clinics with prayer and fasting, not violence.
In the Cincinnati-Dayton-Springfield-Lebanon loop, there are at least 7 Planned Parenthood clinics that either perform or refer abortion services as well as another 20 clinic-centers that will perform or refer abortions, plan-b and RU486. Abortions are performed up to 24 weeks.

However, there are a lot less crisis pregnancy centers offering counseling and referring pre-natal care. Easily, the reason is this: the government will give you money for your clinic…as long as you OFFER abortion information, services or referrals. So, the money that these Christ-centered crisis pregnancy centers have is donated from loving people and churches that believe life begins at conception. Government funding of abortion clinics needs to be removed from the HR3200 and any other further legislation. I say let abortion clinics fend for themselves. Right now, taxpayers – you and I – are funding abortion clinics because of the Roe v. Wade decision and the subsequent legislation that followed.
There needs to be an awakening to the reality that abortion is the deliberate ending of a human life.
Proverbs 3:5 says, ‘Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding’, NKJV. It means simply this: Do not trust what the world tells you is okay to do or think, trust in what God says to your heart. Abortion is murder, plain and simple.
Stand with me shoulder to shoulder in prayer and supplication to stop the premeditated deaths of our children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends.
