We are going to pack up, brave the cold, and drive down to DC next Tuesday for the National March for Life. We haven't gone in recent years because of the cold and the serious nature of the whole Abortion issue. I have tried to bring the boys up to consciousness on the issue, without the graphic details. I am still not sure that I want John, or the other boys for that matter, to see the huge posters that adorn the Mall all day, but I have told them what abortion is and we are studying Martin Luther King much more intensely this year. I think it's really important for the boys to learn about the Civil Rights Movement, and how hard Dr King worked to bring about change. It cost him his life. As we march in the cold on Tuesday, I want them to understand that many people are willing to make big sacrifices for freedom and for those who have no rights. The right to life is the right that we are sacrificing for today. We are so blest to live in a place where so many people can show their solidarity with each other and the truth.
As we unite on Tuesday, we will be carrying forward the dream of Dr King, that all people have the basic human right to Life, Liberty and Love.
Blogs For LIFE!
I just heard about this over on "Mommy Life", and I think I am going to have to pass this year because I will have the boys at the March with me. I doubt they would enjoy sitting around while I blog. Next year, however, I want to try to go.
I will be taking lots of pictures on Tuesday and I will post them here.
