Men of Honor, Justice and Compassion

Will today's pro-life advocates be seen as tomorrow's heroes?

I've no doubt that they will; and certainly in the history books that really count - those stored for safe-keeping in the heavenly library!

But defenders of the sanctity of human life are already enshrined in human history. Did you know that among the list of men who have stood against abortion and infanticide are the names of:

Theodore Roosevelt, J. Hudson Taylor, G. K. Chesterton, Dave Dravecky, John Calvin, St. Ambrose, Rabbi Yehuda Levin, Roy Rogers, Rosey Grier, Peter Marshall, Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Phil Simms, Dr. David Livingston, St. Basil, Lech Walesa,...

Ronald Reagan, Mike Ditka, Alan Keyes, Frank Peretti, Pat Boone, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, Fr. Val Peter, Zig Ziglar, St. Jerome, Don Feder, Tim LaHaye, Justice William Rehnquist, E.V. Hill, Nat Hentoff, Orel Hershiser, Justinian, Rep. J.C. Watts, Charlton Heston...

Alexander Solzenitsyn, Norm Geisler, Rush Limbaugh, Dr. D. James Kennedy, Meadowlark Lemon, Rep. Henry Hyde, Mark Bavaro, Dr. Jerry Falwell, Ignatius Loyola, Sen. Jesse Helms, Carman, Clement of Alexandria, Charles Colson, William Carey...

Pope John Paul II, Reggie White, Tom Selleck, Larry Burkett, Don Francisco, St. Vincent de Paul, Pat Buchanan, Wellington Boone, Augustus St. Clair, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John MacArthur, Tim Burke, John Whitehead, Rep. Steve Largent, Joe Scheidler...

Buckley Jr., Tony Evans, Scott Wesley Brown, Justice Byron White, Chris Godfrey, Dr. Charles Swindoll, Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, Pete Metzelaars, Sen. Edward Zorinsky, Dr. Jack Willke, Bishop Fulton Sheen...

Justice Clarence Thomas, John Cardinal O'Connor, Josh McDowell, William Bentley Ball, Adrian Rogers, Rep. Chris Smith, Fr. John Powell, Phil Simms, Gary Bauer, Rep. Frank Wolf, Paul Brown, Dr. Jerome Lejune, Dan Reeves, Dr. James Dobson...

Charlie Daniels, Bill McCartney, Cal Thomas, Earnest Byner, Joseph Sobran, Ed Cole, Phil Keaggy, Dr. Ray Bohlin, Tom Herr, Steve Taylor, Sen. Bill Armstrong, Justice Anthony Scalia, M.P. David Alton, Rep. Robert Dornan, Joe Gibbs, Dr. Bill Bright, Malcolm Muggeridge, A.C. Green...and on and on and on ! ! !

Pretty Impressive Group? You bet!

But, it's a list that only has full significance if your name can also be included.

For true heroes are simply men who are willing to do what needs to be done... and to do it on time!

So, how about it, gentlemen?
Are YOU aboard?

"Abortion concerns not just the unborn child, it concerns every one of us... We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life - the unborn - without diminishing the value of all human life."
President Ronald Reagan
