19 years ... 1 letter
Around 1am the other night, Malcolm, was sitting outside our "Life-Mobile Truck" when a young man walked over to him. The story he shared was short and to the point. 19 years ago he received a letter from a former girl friend
and with it was a photo of an aborted baby.
As shock gave way to understanding he felt his heart slowly start breaking.
Now, 19 years later, one question still haunted him.
So tonight he asked Malcolm the one thing he needed to know.
Do aborted babies go to Heaven?
I don't know anything about their relationship.
BUT....
I do know that for almost 20 years
one thought broke his heart
each night when he laid down to sleep.
Is my baby in Heaven?
Malcolm shared with him
the babies are innocence in God's eyes.
They talked a for awhile and then the young man walked away.
Please pray for him tonight.

MIDWAY RALLY SPRING 2012
We were very inspired by the following speech that Dr. Kevin Baird gave. I hope it will encourage you as you pray with us during this Spring Prayer Vigil.
I want to thank the FORTY DAYS OF LIFE leadership for the invitation to share for a few moments. You have taken a great risk, as I have been known to be long-winded and to the point.
I want to first thank all of you who have been here at this site through the years with little encouragement and support from those of us who share your views, but never inconvenienced ourselves to stand with you. It’s time to change that.
I personally repent for the past and my hope is that in some small measure, you will feel encouraged and renewed for the cultural battles ahead.
[This year was the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. 1 year short of a generation, Our President said, “He celebrates that anniversary for all our daughters”. You may celebrate this evil Mr. President, but there are a growing number who mourn.]
I do not celebrate the fact that 3,000 innocent people are murdered every day (1.2 million every year) in America without trial, no legal representation, and no opportunity to defend themselves. (Every 20 seconds over the past 39 years, a baby is killed. 180 in just the time we spend at this vigil
Let the weight of that sink in. 54 million lives are gone. That is a natural disaster that would wipe out: California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington combined.
Having said that, in these past 39 years there are some things we can now analyze and understand with certainty. It contains both bad news, as well as good news.
Let’s get the bad news out of the way first.
Many Christian ethicists told us that legalized abortion would open a box of incredible moral dilemmas. They told us that demeaning life at its nascent stages would cause us to demean it at every stage. We now know they were right.
Everything from end of life termination, mercy killing, assisted suicides, to a recent article in “The Medical Journal” from two Australian Ethicists who now advocate what is being called, “After-Birth” abortion, which is simply a new name for infanticide. They say that the same convoluted logic and reasons that are now used for a pre-born abortion can also be applied to a baby who has breathed air for several weeks. (In less than a generation from Roe v. Wade, we have become no better than the worshippers of Molech from Assyria who routinely sacrificed their children to worship their demon gods and then infiltrated the nation of Israel with their pagan practices.) We knew, intuitively, that this is where it would lead.
But despite that, there is some good news..
Statistics tell us that we are slowly winning the abortion debate.
More & more people are “getting” the issues of abortion.
Our technology has made things crystal clear.
What is growing inside a mother’s womb is not some unidentifiable blob of flesh or sub-human species…it is a baby.
The baby has its own unique finger prints, unique DNA, unique blood type. It reacts, it feels, it moves…it is one of us, and more than that,
that baby is a creative work of God.
PSALM 139:13-16, For YOU formed my inward parts; YOU covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise YOU, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are YOUR works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from YOU, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. YOUR eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed, and in YOUR book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
But abortion advocates say, “Oh no…it’s a fetus”
FETUS (Latin) – “Unborn Baby”
You see…abortion advocates want to play this shrewd game with semantics and vocabulary. It’s what racists tried to do with our African friends when they said blacks were property and not persons. It’s what the Nazis tried to do by depersonalizing the Jews so they could be eliminated. You see, you must depersonalize and dehumanize a person semantically, before culture lets you exterminate them practically. The same culture that will cry out for a mistreated dog or cat, will board ships and chase Japanese trawlers to save whales, and regulate and fence in the trees to save them all over Charleston County…will turn their head when it comes to the unborn. (It took me 11 months to mitigate the cutting of ONE oak tree as I navigated the regulation and approval process of this county. And yet, a young girl, with little to no regulation, little counseling, and rarely the whole story…can swiftly terminate a life. Something is profoundly wrong with that picture.)
WHAT CAN WE DO?
REMEMBER THAT AT ITS ROOT, THIS IS A SPIRITUAL BATTLE.
We are not battling with these scared and wounded young women.
Paul said, “Our battle is not with flesh and blood”.
We are battling fear, ignorance, and confusion.
We must contend with the spirits that are behind this place.
(Greed, death, deception, murder)
BE COMPASSIONATE
Our job is not just to confront and identify the evil and problem, but to provide the answer and solution.
Speak of justice and speak of principle, or whether we shall stand and fight for them. We are going to have to decide whether we shall quote the words of the Declaration of Independence with real conviction, or whether we shall take that document and throw it on the ash heap of history as we adopt the message of those who insist that we stand silent in the face of injustice. When it comes to deciding whether we shall stand by the great principle that declares that all human beings are “created equal” and “endowed by their Creator” with the “right to life”, it seems to me, there is no choice for silence.
CONCLUSION
Alan Keyes Quote:
America has once again arrived at a momentous crossroads. We are going to have to decide, as we have had to decide so many times in the past, whether we shall only speak of justice and speak of principle, or whether we shall stand and fight for them. We are going to have to decide whether we shall quote the words of the Declaration of Independence with real conviction, or whether we shall take that document and throw it on the ash heap of history as we adopt the message of those who insist that we stand silent in the face of injustice. When it comes to deciding whether we shall stand by the great principle that declares that all human beings are “created equal” and “endowed by their Creator” with the “right to life”, it seems to me, there is no choice for silence.
God Bless You all!
