"Stand for Something, or You Will Fall for Anything"


I was able to attend the March for Life that took place in Washington D. C. this year for the second time.

There were over 300,000 people at this march, who were all there for the same reasons: fighting for the lives of the unborn.

I saw so many different arguments. Some people wanted to argue that Planned Parenthood should be shut down for all of the trickery they put on teen girls in the district high schools, encouraging sex before marriage, and the availability to perform 1st and 2nd trimester abortions.

Others focused more on the simple issue that abortion is legal in this country. No matter what the medical center, if they perform abortions, it's wrong. They believe that life is sacred to man and to God. They believe that man should not have the power to literally take life into their own hands.

There were people there from all over the country. People from Florida, to Texas, to California, back over to Michigan, falling down from New York City that sacrificed work,money, and sleep to make it to this march. Obviously, there are some things worth making a stand for to people. For everything else, there's just paperwork.

This was definitely a physical stand. And as a good friend of mine from California once quoted to me "stand for something, or you'll fall for anything".

These people are not falling for the direction that our country's president wants to take us. Instead, they are falling back on Biblical principles and God's way of procreating life to have it lived.

Great post! We couldn't make it down this year. Did you go to the dinner as well? Keep up the good work. Do you have much contact with the CFR's? We know several of them.
