It is also important to understand the domino effect. It doesn’t end with abortion. Abortion promotes the idea that you can eliminate someone if they inconvenience you. Abortionists in the United States are now pushing through laws to legalize killing babies after they are born.  California has already passed such a law. Canada and Europe have shown us that once killing babies after birth is accepted, they move on to legalizing killing children and adults who are not wanted, are critically ill or injured, are aged, or are just depressed. However, the effect goes beyond legal channels to effect everyday life. If you feel it is acceptable to kill a baby that gets in the way of your happiness, that feeling easily spreads to other people who get in your way. As a result, we have seen a great increase in spouse and child abuse, mothers killing their children, road rage, and murders, including mass murders. Once you believe life is expendable, it grows like a cancer to infect all of society. Therefore it is important to help people see that life is important and taking any life deprives society of the contributions that life could have made. We cannot be silent and ignore the growing belief that life is expendable. Those who recognize the value of life must speak out and not let those who profit from abortion silence them.

However, laws alone won’t solve the problem as long as many people continue to view it as acceptable. Prohibition showed us that. Alcohol was outlawed but carried on in secret. The Black market continued to supply alcohol to illegal bars and nightclubs. As long as people want something, someone will provide it.  As long as people feel they can commit sex outside marriage and get away with it, they will do so, and when they get pregnant, they will seek an abortion and other people will provide them. Therefore, the important thing that is needed is to  help people see that abortion is wrong. Since many people today either don’t believe in God or have convinced  themselves that God doesn’t care what they do, it will do no good to tell them God hates killing babies. They must be convinced that not only does it kill the baby, who is a living person from conception, it also harms the mother.

While the goal has been to repeal Roe vs Wade, overturning it is not the end of the fight. Roe vs Wade set off a tidal wave that seeks to destroy America. Before Roe vs Wade, abortion was viewed almost universally as wrong and only practiced in back alleys by the truly desperate. Even they often viewed it as wrong but saw no other alternative. Sex outside marriage was restricted to prostitutes and those outside the general culture due to fear of pregnancy and the resulting social scorn. It was illegal in every State. When Roe vs Wade was decided, it allowed abortion by preventing the courts from prosecuting those who violated the laws against abortion. It never made it legal. At first, most people viewed it as legal but wrong. However abortionists took advantage of it and abortion became widespread. It gave people the idea they could have sex without having to worry about the consequences, however it was slow to catch on because many still viewed it as wrong. As it became widespread and the media promoted it, more people began to see it as acceptable.  Overturning it doesn’t make it illegal, it has always been illegal until recently. Overturning it allowed the courts to enforce the laws against abortion. Many States rushed to reinstate their abortion laws but some States rushed to legalize abortion. If abortion is legal in your State, you need to push the legislature to make it illegal.  Laws legalizing abortion are unconstitutional because the Constitution guarantees the right to life and States can not legally take away that right, however it depends on the courts to enforce the laws. We have many liberal courts that do not recognize the rule of law and feel they have the right to  allow abortion to continue. They claim they are broadly interpreting the law but are openly violating it. Therefore it is important to vote in legislators who will pass laws against abortion and judges that will respect the law.
