Slaughtering Innocents for 40 YearsHundreds 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.”
