On Saturday, January 15th, a group of about 30 people gathered at the
Courthouse in Valparaiso for a prayer vigil to remember the 65 million
children who have lost their lives due to the legalization of abortion
in our country that took place on January 22nd, 1973 when the Supreme
Court handed down the infamous Roe v Wade decision. For an hour, we
gathered together to pray in reparation for that evil that has befallen
our country. The theme of the prayer service was Why Being a Pro-life
Witness in the World Matters. We heard a short talk from Sheryll
Werner, President of La Porte County RTL, who spoke to this theme when
she told her story about, when she was a young adult, not stepping up
and helping a friend who wanted to get an abortion. Sheryll urged us to
have compassion on those who have had abortions and to not be afraid to
witness to the pro-life cause. The group prayed for those who will be
attending the March for Life in Washington DC on Friday January 21st as
well as the case pending before the Supreme Court that could overturn
the Roe v Wade decision.
