“Like voices in the wilderness, we are crying out until the whole world hears.”
Seven years ago this month, a group of women descended on the Florida State Capitol to share legally-admissible evidence to the devastation of abortion in our fight to see the passing of the Ultrasound Bill, HB1143.
The spiritual battle which exists between the forces of life and death were strongly felt that day and the days following.
Sadly, former Governor Crist did not listen to the expert witnesses but instead vetoed the bill the following day.
To pro aborts it appeared a stinging victory.
What they failed to realize, and many do still to this day, is that you cannot silence the voice of righteousness. The blood of the innocent cries out from the ground. You cannot stop the hand of the Lord.
Words were spoken, testimonies read aloud in the Rotunda of the State Capitol.
It was as if we could almost hear swords clashing as the battle raged.
Ultimately the victory is the Lord’s.
To the glory of God, with the ongoing, unified strength of thousands before and after, this and other pro-life bills were put in place by Florida’s current Governor Rick Scott.
I’m forever grateful to the cloud of witnesses that surrounds us, the team of Operation Outcry, Florida Family Policy Council and the many Pro-life warriors through the years.
The battle still rages. Until the whole world hears and hearts are changed, we continue to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
