The Sauvé family had the great priviledge of participating in a special event on this day, January 22, 2006, the 33rd anniversary of the disasterous Roe vs. Wade decision. Along with several families from our fellowship and a number of other concerned citizens, we took part in a rally to defend the lives of the unborn in front of the Old Courthouse in downtown Lapeer, Mi. The Michigan Citizens for Life, a new pro-life group in Michigan, launched their petition drive to change the wording of the Michigan Constitution to state that "life begins at conception." In one sense, it is sad that this petition drive is even necessary. To think that our state or any state would need to have it specifically stated that a pre-born human being is precious and needs to be protected and given the opportunity to enjoy "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is a sad fact today!
However, we were glad to do our part to help in the launch of this petition drive. John gave a stirring recitation of former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore's poem entitled "America the Beautiful." In it, the Judge decries the current state of affairs in our land where babies are treated like trash, judges let criminals go free, and our government and society have turned their collective backs on the God who gave us liberty! We also were privileged to hear our friend Brian Ervin give an excellent presentation of the legal and historical facts regarding the Roe vs. Wade issue. Dad (Paul) was given the opportunity to speak and shared the Biblical perspective on the preciousness of life and our responsibility to defend it. Lastly, our good friend Howard Shepherd did a great job of leading the rally and charging all to be bold and sign the petitions and get them out for all to sign that we might end the murder of the unborn in Michigan. Thank you Howard and our friends the DeLadurantey's for all the work they did to make the rally a great "first strike" in the battle for life in Michigan!
