My Dream

Today, as America's first African-American President is about to be inaugurated, my heart is full of sadness that our nation's next leader supports abortion.

We're a pro-life family, and right now I am 17 weeks and 3 days pregnant with our second child. I wonder if my baby is a boy or a girl, and I hope to find out a week from today. I wonder who he or she will be. I wonder what hopes and dreams he or she will bring into this world. I wonder, and I weep for all the babies who have been or will be killed through abortion.

I read about a pro-life ad that will air in Chicago during Black Entertainment Television's inauguration coverage. The ad is called "Life: Imagine the Potential," and it "depicts an unborn child who grows up to become President-elect Barack Obama." (You can watch the ad here.)

The article I read also mentioned "a planned protest" where "[p]rotesters plan to hold three large banners stating “President Obama social justice and human rights begin in the womb" and "53,000,000 children have died through abortion...President Obama stop the violence.”

But it's the quote on the third banner that really moved me to write this blog. The third banner bears Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." That just about says it all...

Dr. King had a dream, and so do I. My dream is for an end to abortion.

Cavemama off to pray for an end to abortion and that our new President will have a change of heart regarding the lives of the unborn.

May justice prevail over the culture of death, and may God bless America!
