NARAL Pro-Choice America has again released their annual "Who Decides" report which grades the country and individual states on how easy it is to get an abortion and Michigan was once again given an "F." Michigan received a failing grade because of the long list of lifesaving prolife legislation our legislature has passed over the years including parental consent, informed consent and a ban on tax-funded abortions.This is a wonderful announcement and I look forward to more of the work RTL-M will be doing in the future. Unfortunately, the rest of the report is rather disheartening.
Alaska for example received an 'A-', and was ranked the 15th easiest state to receive an abortion in. The worst part is, they gave the national average as a 'D'! Although abortion on demand is legal in the U.S., they still portray it as being difficult to kill unborn children. Rather twisted don't you think? How much easier access do they want?
This makes Alaska's 'A-' even more troubling, although Alaska is known for its libertarian approach to laws, it is disturbing that a state that is mostly conservative would have such a lopsided set of laws on such an important issue. That is why it is our duty to pray for the unborn, and to pray for our legislators and the public. We must seek God and ask that their hearts will be changed and the laws reformed. This is especially true during this week when hundreds of thousands will go to Washington D.C. to participate in the March for Life, protesting the Roe v. Wade decision.
Congratulations to Michigan... and let's hope that we can do more here in Alaska. If you'd like to help out please visit:
