Though our president-elect promised Planned Parenthood that signing the Freedom of Choice Act would be one of his first priorities on taking office, he also said in his speech after the election that he would attempt to earn the respect of those who didn't vote for him and that he would "hear your voices."

Well, it's time for him to hear our voices on the sanctity of life. Who knows whether God will stay his hand and channel his heart to rethink this pivotal issue?

FOCA Would Wipe Away Every Restriction on Abortion Nationwide

This would eradicate state and federal laws that the majority of Americans support, such as:

• Bans on Partial Birth Abortion
• Requirements that women be given information about the risks of getting an abortion
• Only licensed physicians can perform abortions
• Parents must be informed and give consent to their minor daughter's abortion

FOCA would erase these laws and prevent states from enacting similar protective measures in the future.

If you believe that God can and will use ordinary Christians in this battle, no matter what the odds, please sign the Fight FOCA petition at the site of Americans United for Life. I'm going to place their ad my sidebar for a while to encourage everyone to remember to add their voices, voices that the new president has promised to hear. As we pray for him, let's pray that God will change his heart on the sanctity of life, from conception to natural death.
