The Sad Reality
On January 22, 1973 abortion was made legal in our country. Since then there have been over 60 million abortions. Every day there are about 2,700 abortions in the U.S, and over 100,000 world wide. In Fort Bend County, there are about 25 abortions every week, about one for every 6 births. In Harris County, there are about 50 abortions every day. If we do not do something, if we do not stand up for those who cannot stand up on their own, who will?
In addition to the children killed by abortion, additional millions of children have lost their lives from "emergency" and hormonal contraception, when a new life begins but the child is prevented from implanting in the uterus to obtain nutrition from mom.
Even more millions of children have also been created by way of In Vitro Fertilization and then discarded, donated to research (to die) or frozen indefinitely. These children are still created by God, in His image, and for His purpose. Reproductive technology treats children as products to be manufactured, with "extra" embryos as disposable by-products of the production of one wanted child, rather than respecting the human dignity of every child. Fewer than one of eight children created with IVF can expect to be born.
Please consider including pro-life organizations in your charitable giving.

Prayer for Respect of LifeDear Father, Creator of all Life,
Please give those who are faced with the temptation of abortion the support, the courage, the grace they need to choose life for their child. Help all who have participated in choosing abortion come to know your healing and generous mercy.
I ask that you grant those involved in performing or promoting abortions a conversion of heart and the courage to cease their involvement. Please help us to respect the dignity of all our brothers and sisters, in every circumstance. We pray that proper respect will be shown to immigrants, to prisoners, to those who are severely ill or burdened with handicaps, and to the elderly who are nearing the end of their lives.
Please open my own heart to follow whatever way you are calling me
to help build a culture of life. Amen.The Documents section on the left side of this page has a document with 4 copies of this prayer to a page.
