| Star Parker is sad that abortion remains legal in USA, 40 years later |
The landmark U.S. Supreme Court case has its 40th anniversary on January 22. Ms. Parker, a conservative Republican commentator, opines: "The number 40 has great significance in the Bible. Perhaps best known is the 40 years that the Israelites were condemned to wander in the desert before being permitted entry into the Promised Land. Maybe this mystical quantity will bear significance as we note, this month, the 40th year since the Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion in America. Forty years we have lived with the silent, and sometimes not-so-silent, holocaust in our midst as the lives of 55 million innocent and unborn children have been killed, plucked from their journey to enter this world. Who were they? Who would they have become?"
Ms. Parker continues her commentary about abortion: "According to Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report shows receipt of $542 million from U.S. taxpayers. This is outrageous, particularly when every other day we witness a new confrontation in Washington to find ways to cut our trillion-dollar budget deficit. Blackburn has introduced legislation to end this funding to large abortion providers. Every American should support this and help win this battle. And we must continue to work to win the war and awaken the American soul, so that 40 years after Roe v. Wade we bring an end to the scourge of legal abortion in America."
