When Someone Takes A Stand, We Must Stand With Him
Please pray for Governor Mike Rounds of South Dakota. Governor Rounds has very publicly and very deliberately taken a stand against the court-imposed practice of abortion in America. Yahoo News reports that “The Republican governor of South Dakota on Monday signed a law banning nearly all abortions in the state, directly challenging the U.S. Supreme Court’s legalization of the practice 33 years ago.”
The Governor’s action cleared the way for continued legal battle, potentially headed for a newly configured Supreme Court. Yahoo says: “The measure, passed by the state legislature on February 24, would “eliminate most abortions in South Dakota,” Rounds said in approving the law.” NARAL Pro-Choice America President Nancy Keenan said “This law is a monumental setback for women in South Dakota and across the country.” Keenan also bemoans that “Anti-choice politicians in 11 other states are pushing similar bans.”
Now is the time for us to support those politicians willing to take stands for what is right. Far from being a “right” for women, abortion is murder. It was imposed on our country rather than asked for; it has never been nor will it ever be upheld by a consititutional vote (see my post here regarding the hypocricy of pro abortion supporters on this issue). We must show our support, raise up our prayers and extend our hands to protect the lives that cannot protect themselves.
Thank you, Governor Rounds. Send your own note of support to Governor Rounds.
