Memorializing 51,000,000 Unheard Cries
A memorial day for the pre-born is being held today at the Supreme Court.
The purpose of the memorial, taking place on the steps of the Supreme Court building, is to draw attention to the deaths of 51-million preborn babies in America since the high court legalized abortion in 1973 — that according to Erik Whittington of Rock for Life.
“We’re getting together [at the Supreme Court] and people across the country are getting together to mourn those deaths — because who will hear the cries of these preborn children? Who will be their voice, and who will mourn their deaths?” Whittington asks.
“So thousands of Americans [are] joining nationwide, mourning the victims of abortion by gathering for prayer, candlelight vigils at abortion facilities, on their college campuses.”
The event marks the first day of the Supreme Court’s fall session. Whittington acknowledges the newest member of the court.
“We have Justice Sonia Sotomayor [this] first day back,” he points out. “From our information, obviously, she is not a friend of the preborn children — so we need to pray for her, that her heart and mind is changed.”
Participants are also praying that healthcare reform does not include funding abortion, or result in euthanasia of the disabled and elderly.
