Luke 23:28-31 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
These are the words of the Lord Jesus Christ as he was being led to the cross where he was crucified for the sins of the world.
Over the past two centuries nobody ever imagined this would happen. What woman would scorn the birth of her child much less put it to death? But today, Abortion sweeps our nation, nay it sweeps the world. Millions of unborn babies are aborted (Killed) before they are born. And now in some states babies can even be aborted (Killed) after they leave the womb.
Since 1973, when Roe v. Wade was decided, over 57 million babies have been denied the right to life. This tragedy is a devastating mark upon our culture, and even more sickening is that there is an entire industry profiting from each child killed in the womb.
State after state is passing liberal Abortion laws. Some facts listed in 2014: (and they haven’t improved in the last 5 years).
