The sanctity of life is promoted throughout the scriptures and is critical for us to address from conception to natural death. There are many that will complain about the violence in our society today while at the same time give their full blessing to violence in the womb. We thank God that 3 years ago we saw Roe v. Wade struck down. Most recently in the One Big Beautiful Bill, funding is being pulled from Planned Parenthood. We know there is a court challenge to stop this, but its passage is inevitable. Over 30 Planned Parenthood Centers have announced their closure this year and there are more to come. In so many states babies continue to be targeted in the womb and tragically, according to numberofabortions.com, we are approaching nearly 67 million lives lost.
