struggle to protect the unborn has shifted
Oct. 5, 2025
The Church in the United States celebrates October as Pro-Life Month, and it celebrates this first Sunday of October as Pro-Life Sunday. Unfortunately, since Roe v Wade was overturned, the pro-life movement seems to have lost some of its enthusiasm. The struggle for the unborn has shifted from a national campaign to a state campaign. And we have not been terribly successful in that battle. Even in Kentucky, which has been a relatively pro-life state, the amendment to end abortion was defeated.
What can we do? We can pray. Pray for men and women who are facing unplanned or difficult or unwanted pregnancies. Pray that they will seek and receive the support and encouragement that they need in order to choose life for their children, that they will find the inner strength and grace to say yes to God and to the life of their children.

Support various pro-life organizations that provide the support and help that is needed.
Talk about the lives of the unborn to your children and grandchildren. They are receiving the pro-death message from all sides of the culture, and there needs to be a correction. Let young people know that you will obviously be disappointed and hurt if they have a pregnancy outside of marriage, but that you will stand with them as they say yes to life.
