9-11 pro-life message

This was a post done on facebook by a 16 year old female. When I read a post like this I remember why it is that I stressed the pro-life aspect when I am talking to our youth. I have known Sara for a few years and have talked about many Pro-life issues.

Seven years ago, our country united because of the death of hundreds of our citizens. Many throughout America were hurt and outraged that life could end so suddenly, so quickly, so unexpectedly. At this time, we reflected upon our own lives and strove to better ourselves. We were nicer to our neighbor, we were proud of the country we lived in, we treated other people with respect, because we realized how much respect people really deserve. However, as time progressed, the impact of 9-11 faded away. The American flags disappeared from the porches of every home, people became grouchy, and most importantly...we began to take life for granted again. Why, I ask, can the deaths of a few hundred Americans change America for the better so deeply (however short a time), but the deaths of THOUSANDS of Americans that occur DAILY just continue to divide America? Why do some believe life is something they have the "right" to control and end upon desire, whereas others fight for the GIFT of life and understand that only God can choose when we live and die?40 Days for Life is beginning in less than two weeks (on September 24). It will continue until November 2. During this time, I implore you to pray and fast for those who are losing their lives in this perilous war for life. If you are able, please pray at your local abortion mill. To learn more about 40 Days for Life, please go to: http://www.40daysforlife.comWe are making progress, we are scoring points. According to the blog on 40 Days for Life, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Mississippi have only ONE remaining abortion mill. Kentucky and Nebraska only have TWO. Last year, during 40 Days for Life, many abortion mills lost a lot of business and some even shut down. We can win the war for life...we just need to win a few more battles...score a few more points...God Bless, Sara
