It comes every year, an unrelenting reminder that we are STILL not doing enough; another Sanctity of Human Life Day has come and gone. Once again, I woke up that morning and realized everything's still the same all over again.
Why is RoeWade still "legal"? I believe it's because people have too much invested in hiding what they did, or in what they did helping someone else to do. Ours is a culture of fear and shame.
It's how the Larry Nassars and Harvey Weinsteins of our era (and every era) get away with so much for so long:
People are so accustomed to looking the other way
because they do not want to look in the mirror;
and for sure,
who wants to stick their heads up?
Fear rules the day.
But as reliable as ever, James Dobson brings it all in.
His January Letter this year brought a joy to my heart. While Family Life Today ignored the Sanctity observance altogether and Focus On The Family gave it a few days, Dobson's show, MyFamilyTalk, gave it the most air play, and for that I am grateful.

I learned amazing things about D.T. in the above write up, and it occurs to me that the real story behind the new President's pro-life achievements is the untold one:
someone got to him.
Who was it?
Ronald Regan changed his mind on this matter of all matters also, and now I am wondering who was it for Trump?
What
unheralded, behind-the-scenes
Heroes for the Cause of Life
got the attention of these two
august* men,
and when it mattered most, persuaded them to see the light
of
reason?
of
reason?
Whomever you are, I hope you know that on this day a tiny zygote in California, USA is praying for God's favor over your lives in ways that will clearly bless all your socks off.

*au·gust
ôˈɡəst/
adjective
- respected and impressive."she was in august company"
synonyms: distinguished, eminent, illustrious, prestigious, renowned, celebrated, exalted; for our current president, I mean to insinuate only the most arm's length respect allowed under the precedents set by our storied, truly AUGUST Founders of this once even-more-august United States of North America. (and I didn't especially like Ronald Reagan either, but what did I know...)
