“They built the high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-Hinnom 

to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire of Molech, 

which I had not commanded them, nor had it entered My mind 

that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”

(Jeremiah 32:35; NASB)

The Supreme Court’s decision to legalize abortion on January 22, 1973, has led to an estimated 61 million abortions since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling. According to the Word of God, we have committed a grave national sin. God fully realizes the depth of the depravity of sin in the hearts of man. Nevertheless, His heart is always that we would choose His way. 

When we operate out of our sin nature at a national level, we end up with things like legalizing abortions to the point of infanticide. Yes, shockingly there are states which allow abortions through the third trimester. This would be infanticide, as those children may be able to survive outside the womb. God does not want that for our culture! We need to pray and ask for forgiveness and the mercy of God for the millions of babies who have lost their lives. Legalized abortion is not the will of God. Lord, save America and save our children!    

Points for Prayer:

Pray for the unborn babies: “Behold, children are a gift of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward” (Psalm 127:3; NASV).

Pray for mothers’ eyes to be opened: “Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?” (Isaiah 49:15; NIV)

Pray for all Americans to know the truth about abortion: “To open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in me” (Acts 26:18; NIV).
