“Forty-one years ago today the Supreme Court of the United States made, I believe, perhaps the most abysmal decision ever in the history of this country by concluding that there is a right to privacy that included ending the life of an unborn baby.

Roe v. Wade coupled with Doe v. Bolton brought out a decision that said abortion was going to be legal under any stage of pregnancy for any reason.

The most important right we have is the protection of life. Our human lives are so important, so sacred, they cannot be measured against anything else; in fact human life is the measure of which everything else is weighed. We have to protect the right to life for those who cannot protect themselves.

My prayer is that we come together someday to celebrate the reversal of Roe v. Wade rather than the January 22 annual march that you are participating in today. Keep working, keep marching, keep speaking, keep writing and most importantly, keep praying.”
