Prayer and Fasting for Obama on the Roe v Wade Anniversary

Today is the 36th anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision, legalizing abortion nationwide. In regards to his support of "abortion rights" President Obama has been quoted as saying, "On this fundamental issue, I will not yield." The President's pro-"abortion rights" supporters will certainly be expecting him to make an executive decision in their favor to mark the anniversary of Roe v Wade, perhaps by overturning the Mexico City Policy.

During his inauguration address, President Obama gave several examples of heroism expressed through the lives of ordinary Americans; among such acts of heroism, he mentioned, "a parent’s willingness to nurture a child." I pray that President Obama's heart would be changed concerning the issue of abortion and that he would be willing to display a heroism consistent with the best sentiments expressed in his speeches; I pray that he would be willing to disappoint his constituents and to admit the fallacy of his former pro-"abortion rights" position. I pray that he would not overturn the Mexico City Policy today, nor would he use this day to in any way support legalized child murder with his executive authority.

I ask my brothers and sisters in Christ to join with me in fasting and prayer today for God's mercy in protecting the lives of the unborn from unjust executive policies.
