Today marks the 48th anniversary of the Roe vs Wade decision to legalize abortion. Over 60 million babies have been murdered since 1973. Pray for the souls of the babies, their parents who made that fateful decision, and our new administration. May our Lord guide our legislators to seek justice and make informed decisions that respect the rights to all life and the unborn.
