This article was in my news feed this morning. The Associated Press article refers to a study compiled by the Guttmacher Institute, stating that abortions are on the rise relative to 2017 and that an estimated one in five pregnancies were ‘terminated’ (their word) in 2020.

This is a heartbreaking development. In the context of our mission, I would simply ask people to focus on the Practice, not the Product. We need the courage to engage, not withdraw. We need to speak Truth, and not couch our words in fear of offending others.

Prayers for our society, our nation, our collective morality would be a good idea and a great place to start. We must build the political will.
