Roe v Wade Anniversary
January 22
January 22 is the anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision which legalized abortion in the United States. It is designated as the “Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children”. It is a day of prayer and penance.
The March for Life is also usually held on this day. This video explains that you cannot be pro-life without being pro-woman. And you cannot be pro-women without being pro-life. To be pro-life means to fight for the protection of all lives, including women and to stand up for the people brave enough to bring life into the world. To be pro-woman means to value the dignity and worth of each and every woman, from conception to natural death.
Pray for the a conversion of hearts in our nation to value the dignity of each human life in our nation. Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the pro-life cause, pray for us! Help us reverse the Roe v Wade decision.
