Home Going for Norma McCorvey, a Sinner Turned Saint

   On Saturday February 18 we learned that our friend Norma McCorvey had gone home to the Lord. Norma was a sinner tuned saint, better known as the Roe of Roe vs Wade, who repented and became a tireless advocate for life.

 

                Norma had a tough upbringing and lived on the edge. She had three children, two out of wedlock, but, by God’s mercy, was unable to obtain abortions. An abortion activist attorney used her case to attack laws against abortion, naming her Jane Roe. Norma’s life was no better after the Roe vs Wade decision and the abortion movement kicked her to the curb. She ended up working as a clerk at an abortion mill in Dallas.

 

                Her Damascus Road experience came not from a bright light, but from a 6 year old girl, a girl whose mother worked at an anti-abortion ministry in the same shopping center. The little girl met Norma and befriended her, and melted Norma’s heart. Norma accepted Christ at the little girl’s church and was baptized by her former abortion foe, Flip Benham. Her story is beautifully written in her book Won by Love which is available on the Roenomore.com website.

 

                Norma was deeply regretful of the role she had played in the abortion holocaust. She would see an empty swing set and grieve for the lost children. Norma was also becoming a Christian celebrity, a role which carried both risks and rewards for a new Christian.  She prayed about what to do and her ministry, Roe No More, was born. Norma traveled the country speaking out against abortion and marching with the Pro Life movement.

 

                For Norma speeches and marches were not enough. She wanted to overturn Roe vs Wade. She petitioned the courts for a re-hearing on the grounds that her attorney had submitted false information in her affidavits and committed a fraud on the court. Such information would normally be a legal bombshell, but the Culture of Death had too strong a hold on our courts. Her petition was denied.

 

                Norma was rough around the edges and she could confound friends and foes alike. Those of us who knew her understood her sincerity and struggles, a work in progress as are we all. We loved her.

 

                It should always be remembered that Norma McCorvey found God’s love through the love of a child, not the harsh rhetoric of the culture wars, and that she spent the rest of her life trying to save the lost children of America.

 

Let us thank God for her life and keep praying for the cause of life she championed.

Immigration and Abortion

The small army of illegal immigrant children who have invaded the U.S. recently serve as an ironic reminder of the millions of aborted children whose loss makes immigration a necessity for the U.S.

 

Infanticide and abortion have always been with us, and it was not until the 1870’s that the American Medical Association led the fight to outlaw abortion in the U.S. However, abortion advocates fought back, with Planned Parenthood organizers wanting to abort black children for racial reasons and others wanting to abort babies for genetic or racial purity. Finally, with the sexual revolution and rise of Feminism, abortion was forced upon the U.S. by our Supreme Court in 1973. As a result, we’ve lost over 50 million American Babies.

 

With the advent of legalized abortion and sexual “Freedom”, the birth rate in the U.S. and the Western World began to fall. As the birthrate in one country after another continued to fall, the birthrate dropped below population replacement rates. As a result, these countries are experiencing declines in population, a phenomenon known as Demographic Collapse. At the same time, the average age of the population is increasing, leaving fewer workers to meet the needs of society.

 

Demographic Collapse, in addition to being a spiritual and human tragedy, is an economic disaster. A shrinking population means that economic growth is reversed, causing stagnation and then contraction. Economic contraction means lower tax collections and a reduction in national finances and power. Even worse, the decrease in young workers means that social welfare programs such as government funded retirement and medical benefits become unsustainable. So societies which murder their own children are actually killing their own future.

 

The process of Demographic Collapse in the U.S. has moved more slowly for one simple reason: immigration. Immigrants tend to be younger and therefore productive, adding to economic growth and paying into our government welfare systems. Skilled immigrants have helped the U.S. maintain its technological edge, while unskilled immigrants form the backbone of our agriculture, construction, and other industries. As far as America is concerned, increased immigration is the price we must pay to replace the millions of babies we have aborted.

 

As Christians we must look at America’s immigration problems from the perspective of the Kingdom of God. After all, the world’s mission fields are coming to our neighborhoods, and we will have the opportunity to love them into the Kingdom. Many Latin American immigrants are already Christian, with strong family values, and we should reach out to them to help them assimilate and strengthen the Kingdom in America.

 

And as for the army of children, we can open our arms to them without supporting those who abused them by bringing them here. They are like a prophetic remnant of the millions of aborted children we wanted to love but couldn’t save. So love them now.

And let us pray that God will save America from Demographic Collapse, and ask for His wisdom to solve our immigration problems.
