Please take time to read the following article. I ask all of you to take time today to pray for our Supreme Court justices in their considerations of reversing this evil law. This article was taken from LifeSiteNews.com:
US Supreme Court to Consider Petition to Reverse Abortion Law Roe v Wade on February 18WASHINGTON, February 15, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On Friday, the US Supreme Court is currently docketed to have an internal, private discussion conference on how to handle a petition to reverse Roe v. Wade. Operation Outcry, the group which launched the petition, is comprised of Norma McCorvey, the former Roe of Roe v. Wade and Sandra Cano, the former Doe of Doe v. Bolton, and the staff of The Justice Foundation, the attorneys representing both of them and the post-abortive witnesses of Operation Outcry: Silent No More.
On January 14, the petition to reverse Roe v. Wade was filed with the United States Supreme Court. It was received by the United States Supreme Court on January 19. On January 17, Martin Luther King's birthday, Norma McCorvey and Allan Parker appeared on Hannity & Colmes to announce the filing. On January 18, a press conference with Norma, Sandra, and the ladies of Operation Outcry: Silent No More, and the lawyers, was held on the steps of the United States Supreme Court.
Operation Outcry has called on pro-lifers to pray for a positive outcome from the court's deliberations.
The petition to reverse Roe has been set for a Supreme Court discussion conference on February 18 with results to be public on February 22.

All,
I just want to make clear that the overturning of Roe v. Wade would not mean the end of abortions in the US. It would be a good first step, but that decision, should it come down, would only allow the various states to determine whether they want to legalize abortion or not. Some states already have legalized abortion on the books so it wouldn't change anything in those states. It would still be a tough fight from there to irradicate abortion from the US entirely.
In Christ,
Thomas
Thanks for that information Thomas. I didn't realize that. Much prayer is needed, but, as you said, it would be a good first step.
In Christ,
Joe
