Light at the End of the Tunnel
On the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, thousands across the nation showed their support for life. For 49 years, pro-life warriors have stood in defense of the "least of these" in their towns and cities to speak out for the more than 62 million children who lost their lives to legal abortion. This year, however, is unlike any other. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard arguments for Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a case that would send the legalized abortion decision back to the states, where it belongs. This is very exciting for the millions of pro-life Americans who would be able to vote their consciouses and enact significant limits to abortions in their states.
Thank you to everyone who has spoken out against the horrors of abortion these long 49 years. Our fight is not over until, as former Planned Parenthood worker Abby Johnson once said, "[we] make abortion unthinkable so that a woman never even considers darkening the door that will take the life of her unborn human child." Let us continue to kindly and thoughtfully inform and persuade our families and friends about the true cost of abortion to women and society as a whole.
The Right to Life movement does not need vulgar pink hats to make our point. We have science, compassion, and the truth on our side. We truly are the pro-life generation, and it is encouraging to see our efforts begin to bear fruit. I am proud to stand with pro-life Arkansans on the right side of history as we continue to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
