TODAY IS SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE SUNDAY. This is perfect timing too, because it falls on what would have been the 50th anniversary of that disastrous Supreme Court decision which legalized nationally the tearing to pieces of babies in the womb. I never know what Scriptures will speak to me in my daily reading, but
“THIS IS WHERE THEY PERFORM THE ABORTIONS,” I said to my beautiful and precious daughters in 2011 as we drove past the innocuous looking building called Family Planning Associates located just a few miles from our home at the time. Making a quick U-turn I parked just up the street from the entrance. A solitary man looked like he was praying as he strode slowly up and down the sidewalk in front of the medical offices.

Today is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, a day we celebrate life, human life, and more specifically, pre-born life.
If you are not familiar with this special day, Sanctity of Human Life Sunday is held on the 3rd Sunday of January and was started by President Ronald Reagan in 1984. H.W. Bush continued it during his presidency. Bill Clinton discontinued it for the 8 years he was in office. George W. Bush re-instituted it for his two terms, but Obama eliminated it when he was elected. Thankfully, President Trump brought it back again. Most likely, when Joe Biden becomes President, he will discontinue it.
