Abortion is wrong for
many reasons: the destruction of innocent life, the negation of love, the
violation of human dignity. But those reasons are just satellites around the
very core reason, that abortion violates the very image of God.
I
posted that in the wee hours of the morning and then went down to participate
in the march. I never got to see
President Trump’s speech that day except on a video clip later that evening. Only recently did I read exactly what he
said. Here’s a key paragraph:
“When we see the image of
a baby in the womb, we glimpse the majesty of God’s creation. When we hold a
newborn in our arms, we know the endless love that each child brings to a
family. When we watch a child grow, we see the splendor that radiates from each
human soul. One life changes the world… We cannot know what our citizens yet
unborn will achieve. The dreams they will imagine. The masterpieces they will
create. The discoveries they will make. But we know this: every life brings
love into this world. Every child brings joy to a family. Every person is worth
protecting. And above all, we know that every human soul is divine and every
human life, born and unborn, is made in the holy image of Almighty God.”
-President Donald J. Trump
My
goodness. We essentially said the same
thing with the same rhetorical development.
We both started with the majesty of God’s creation, developed it to His
creation of mankind, asserted the dignity of mankind, and concluded that
abortion is wrong because we, born and unborn, are made in the image of
God.
No
we did not share notes! Thank you Mr.
President. Great minds think alike.
The
next day after that Notable Quote of Psalm 8, I posted pictures and video from
my attendance to the 2020 March. You can
see that here.
I
have been told this may have been the largest of all the annual March for Life
processions, perhaps some 500,000 attended.
I came across this time lapsed video of the entire March in 60
seconds. It’s pretty cool.
Somewhere
in there is me!
