"Never, never will we desist till we have wiped away this scandal from the
Christian name, released ourselves from the load of guilt, under which we at
present labor, and extinguished every trace of this bloody traffic, of which our
posterity, looking back to the history of these enlightened times, will scarce
believe that it has been suffered to exist so long a disgrace and dishonor to
this country." William Wilberforce
Have you read those word at the top of the page before?
Have you thought about what they mean?
Wilberforce was talking about slavery, but I think he'd agree that they fit just as well the issue of abortion.
People like to say that all the great orators are gone, and no one speaks with that kind of passion anymore. I do not believe them. There are people out there, maybe you are one of them, who have mastered the art of speaking and you can use that gift to change things. Don't be afraid, do not be discouraged, small knocks can topple great walls.
We must 'never, never desist till we have wiped away this scandal' this horror, remember that you do not fight alone, together we are stronger.
