January 22 2009: Thirty-sixth anniversary of the Roe v. Wade

January 22 is the thirty-sixth anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision which

legalized abortion. For 36 years, Christians have worked to restore the basic right to life, which

John Paul II said was the foundation for all other rights in society. Today, we perform acts of

penance both in reparation for crimes against human dignity caused by abortion and in

intercession to God to grant wisdom to our nation and civil leaders, that they might know and

protect life from conception to natural death.
