Mississippi Memorial to the Unborn

This article is a few years old, but I just saw it today and thought I would share it.  Yesterday we remembered the Holy Innocents who were slaughtered by a jealous King Herod.  Today and every day, we have the same slaughtering of innocents in our nation and around the world.

The Mississippi Convention Board decided to make a Memorial for the 50 Million Aborted Babies since 1973, when Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion in the United States.  What they did is amazing in its ability to visually demonstrate what 50,000,000 looks like.  Pennies were used to represent the babies and they call it "Memorial to the Missing."  They erected a huge container (13' x 7') and over a two year period, the Baptist Churches in Mississippi donated pennies until their goal was reached.

Here is what 50,000,000 pennies looks like:

A powerful statement that should awaken us all.  Well done Mississippi Baptist Churches!

"God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them."  Genesis 1:27

All of the aborted babies were made in His image.  How God must weep over our nations absolute lack of morality.  How we view the babies as an inconvenience, as throw away, as unwanted.  His precious babies who are killed in a sterile environment, by doctors at the request of their mothers.

May God open the hearts of the faithful and instill courage to speak up for the unborn.  May God remove the scales from the eyes of those who support abortion.  And may He have mercy on us all.

Blessings,
