Pro-life advocates will mark September 9 as a day of both celebration and mourning as they remember the 65 million unborn babies who were aborted under Roe v. Wade.
That Saturday will be the second National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe and began allowing states to protect unborn babies again. At 185 locations across the U.S., pro-lifers plan to gather at grave sites and memorials for the millions of babies who were killed as a result of the infamous 1973 ruling.
“It’s amazing to be living in a post-Roe v. Wade America, but our country racked up a body count of tens of millions under Roe—and still today, the body count continues to climb. The vast majority of these babies never received a proper burial,” Eric J. Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, one of the organizations sponsoring the event, said in an email to LifeNews.
“That’s what the 11th annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children is all about, and it’s taking place two weeks from today on Saturday, September 9. On this special day, we visit the burial places of aborted children and other memorials put up in their honor — and we solemnly pray for God to heal the deep wounds of abortion in our society. With over 185 services scheduled throughout the United States — including 36 at the burial places of aborted children — there’s likely to be a Day of Remembrance prayer service near you,” he added.
