57,762,169 Lives Lost

If we heard a statistic like that on the evening news, who among us would not perk up our ears in shock and utter disbelief?!

57,762,169.

That's well over 57 MILLION!!!  An inconceivable number for us to even wrap our minds around.

But the very sad truth is that 57,762,169 (at least) is the number of legal abortions in America since the January 22, 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in our nation for any reason at any time during pregnancy.

Staggering, isn't it???

The world will never know the gifts God bestowed on each of those destroyed lives!  Perhaps among those 57 million, one child would have discovered the cure for cancer.  Or saved the lives of countless others by ridding the planet of the HIV virus.  Or learned how to power our modern world through ways we cannot even imagine.  Or invented the next breakthrough in communication or travel.

Or touched the lives of unsaved people groups by sharing the gospel in the far reaches of the globe.

Only God knows what a devastating loss to mankind are those 57,762,169 human beings who never had a chance to take their first breath. 

Such a fallacy that abortion is a personal decision, only affecting the woman involved.  Abortion affects us ALL!  And 57,762,169 lives is way, way, WAY too many....

 

Baby Noah Shows the Humanity of the Unborn

Excerpted from LifeNews.com...for the full article, click here

 

Baby Noah died from a spontaneous miscarriage on February 20th, 2014. His mother, Lara, named him Noah because it means “rest” and “peace”.

Noah was only 12 weeks and 5 days old when he died. Even though he passed away, his perfectly formed body displays the development of a new human life, the most spectacular miracle on earth.

Noah’s mother, Lara, said the following about Noah:

“Even though he only lived for twelve weeks, Noah was special to me. I am blessed that I was able to hold him, to see that he was real. Just like every other mother, this first photo of my child will always be special to me. I am devastated that we lost Noah, but I know that his 12 weeks of life had a purpose. His body reveals the miracle of human life. If he could help show one mother considering abortion the beauty of her child, then our loss would be worth it.”

Noah, may you rest in peace. We pray that our nation will see in you the intrinsic value that every human life possesses, no matter how small or frail.

 

Something to Ponder....

Federal law protects sea turtle nests and their unhatched eggs, with violators being vigorously prosecuted and fined thousands of dollars as well as possibly serving prison time.

Since the historic federal law decision Roe v. Wade 41 years ago this past week, there is no federal law that protects unborn human babies. Human beings, created in the very image of God, can be destroyed before birth at the whim of their mothers.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for protecting helpless baby sea turtles from senseless killing.  But is a sea turtle more precious than a human baby?  Absolutely not!

Why do so many of the same people who passionately fight for the rights of animals see nothing wrong in the killing of unborn human beings?  

Something to ponder....

 

Baby Bottle Boomerang

You may be seeing some random baby bottles filled with coins and cash around town these days. That's a sure sign that it's Baby Bottle Boomerang time!

One of the major fundraisers for the Henry County Pregnancy Care Center, the idea behind Baby Bottle Boomerang is simple. Churches or organizations supporting our cause pass the bottles out to their members, who take a bottle home or to their office and drop change or bills into the bottle. After a month or so, the bottles are collected and the change adds up quickly!

While many churches do this in January in conjunction with Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, Baby Bottle Boomerang can be done any time throughout the year.  What a great Mother's Day activity!  If you're interested in helping us out in this way, please contact Director Janet Modjeski at the Center, hcpcc@aol.com or 529-7298.

 

Created in the Image of God

 

Sunday, January 19 is 2014's "Sanctity of Human Life" Sunday.  Churches in Henry County will join churches across the nation as we remember those 55 million babies that have been victims of abortion since the historic (and tragic!) January 22, 1973 decision by the US Supreme Court that legalized abortion in this country.

Our mission at the Henry County Pregnancy Care Center is to minister to women and men who are facing unplanned pregnancies, providing them counseling and material support with the hopes that they will choose life for their babies.  Nearly all of our clients do choose to have their children, but for those who may choose to terminate their pregnancies we also provide a compassionate listening ear as they heal from their loss.

Join us this coming Sunday as we mourn the millions of lives that never had a chance, and pray that our nation's eyes will be opened to the horror of this national tragedy that has already taken way too many lives.

Tiny, yet oh-so-precious lives...

....created in the image of God!
