The overturning of Roe vs. Wade is a cause for great rejoicing, but we recognize the Dobbs decision is not the end of the effort to defeat abortion, but the end of the beginning of what will be a long struggle. That struggle to, as the late, great Fr. Richard John Neuhaus articulated it, ensure that “every unborn child is protected in law and welcomed in life” will be arduous, marked by triumphs and disappointments, test our patience and our faith, lead to tears of joy and of frustration, seem never-ending. Those in the pro-life community will be faced with difficult and sometimes nose-holding decisions to compromise and avoid political defeats to make progress and defend the lives of the unborn. During those ups and down we need to focus throughout on the basic principle at play, the long game as it were. That is, it comes down to the simple alternative of life or death. We know where we stand and where Christians have stood since the very beginning of the church. On the side of life. This blog will strive to help us keep that focus and remind us of it. Tussling in the political sphere will tempt to pull us from our principles and beliefs. Come here to refresh yourself on why we pursue justice for the unborn and must persist in that pursuit.
