Speaking Up For Life

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in NIFLA v. Becerra to block enforcement of a 2015 California state law that targeted pro-life pregnancy centers to promote abortion by posting government-mandated abortion advertisements on their websites and waiting-room walls. Justice Clarence Thomas in his majority opinion said the centers “are likely to succeed” in their constitutional challenge to the law under the First Amendment … Jor-El Godsey, president of Heartbeat International, a pregnancy help network of over 2,500 affiliates, cheered the decision: “Today’s decision is a tremendous win not only for free speech but for human life,” said Godsey. “Thanks to today’s ruling, California’s 200plus pregnancy centers can continue to serve women and children, unburdened by the unconscionable demands of the abortion lobby. This is an unquestionably major triumph for U.S. pregnancy centers working to save families from the sting of abortion.”

“What can we say to those who miscarry a child they already know and love? They are created, redeemed, and called, and God holds them in His hands.” Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, former executive director of Lutherans For Life

For those who have had an abortion— a Word of Hope. 888.217.8679 www.word-ofhope.org

“As Christians, we have a responsibility to provide comfort to the sick, as we do not want anyone to suffer. That is why we promote work to improve palliative care so doctors will have better means to relieve suffering at life’s end until God calls us home to heaven where there is no suffering. Let us put our trust in Him.” Virginia Flo, regional director of Minnesota and national conference director for Lutherans For Life A prayer for parents for their children: “Today I rededicate them to You. You designed and fashioned them, Father. Lord Jesus, You redeemed them. Spirit, You live in them. Keep them Yours now and always. Keep their guardian angels on duty, as You have promised. Help them grow into adults who will find joy in serving You and building Your kingdom. Lord, thank You for my miracle children.” Pastor Mark Jeske, (www.timeofgrace.org)
