Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation

Posted on

This is the proclamation which set the precedent for America’s national day of Thanksgiving.

During his administration, President Lincoln issued many orders similar to this. For example, on November 28, 1861, he ordered government departments closed for a local day of thanksgiving.

Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation

Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation

Sarah Josepha Hale, a 74-year-old magazine editor, wrote a letter to Lincoln on September 28, 1863, urging him to have the “day of our annual Thanksgiving made a National and fixed Union Festival.” She explained, “You may have observed that, for some years past, there has been an increasing interest felt in our land to have the Thanksgiving held on the same day, in all the States; it now needs National recognition and authoritive fixation, only, to become permanently, an American custom and institution.”

Prior to this, each state scheduled its own Thanksgiving holiday at different times, mainly in New England and other Northern states. President Lincoln responded to Mrs. Hale’s request immediately, unlike several of his predecessors, who ignored her petitions altogether. In her letter to Lincoln she mentioned that she had been advocating a national thanksgiving date for 15 years as the editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book. George Washington was the first president to proclaim a day of thanksgiving, issuing his request on October 3, 1789, exactly 74 years before Lincoln’s.

The document below sets apart the last Thursday of November “as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise.” According to an April 1, 1864, letter from John Nicolay, one of President Lincoln’s secretaries, this document was written by Secretary of State William Seward, and the original was in his handwriting. On October 3, 1863, fellow Cabinet member Gideon Welles recorded in his diary how he complimented Seward on his work. A year later the manuscript was sold to benefit Union troops. – Article

November is National Adoption Month

Posted on

Each year, November is recognized as National Adoption Awareness Month.

While all adoption-related issues are important, the particular focus of this month is the adoption of children currently in foster care.

Month is to celebrate the families who have grown through adoption

National Adoption Month is about spreading awareness. It is a month to encourage others to learn about adoption

The month also includes National Adoption Day, traditionally a Saturday, which is observed in courthouses across the nation, where thousands of adoptions are finalized simultaneously. In November of each year, adoptees, birth families, adoptive families and adoption professionals take some time to celebrate adoption, to reflect on adoption practices and its lifelong effects on families and children, and to educate ourselves about topics surrounding adoption.

National Adoption Month is about spreading awareness. It is a month to encourage others to learn about adoption, to hold adoption related events, and to acknowledge the people in this country whose lives have been impacted by adoption. The mission of National Adoption Month is to celebrate the families who have grown through adoption, and to recognize the many children who are still waiting for forever families.

Happy National Adoption Month! Keep an eye for articles, quotes, and even some special deals as we celebrate this month of appreciation and awareness.

“I thought, with losing my parents, that I had a firmer grasp on loss, but truly nothing can prepare you for going home from the hospital without a child.”

 

Dr. Kermit Gosnell – Movie 3801 Lancaster: American Tragedy

How did this beloved doctor become one of the most hated and controversial figures of the decade? – 3801 Lancaster: American Tragedy — Trailer #1
Dr. Kermit Gosnell Movie – Violence, Greed, and a Cover up

Dr. Kermit Gosnell Movie – Violence, Greed, and a Cover up

In February of 2010, the Philadelphia Police Department and the FBI raided the offices of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, a respected physician and late-term abortion provider in West Philadelphia. The doctor was suspected of selling prescription drugs illegally. However, what investigators discovered upon entering the clinic was unthinkable. – “See No Evil” – the case of Kermit Gosnell – Fox News Report

As investigators began interviewing employees, they learned that Dr. Gosnell employed a tactic that he called “snipping.” Women who came in for late-term abortions would be induced, live babies would be born, and then Dr. Gosnell would kill the babies by severing their spinal cords with scissors.
 Through exclusive interviews with detectives, crime scene investigators, journalists, victims, and Dr. Gosnell himself, “3801 Lancaster: American Tragedy” tells a story of violence, greed, and a cover up that shook the nation.

White Ribbon Against Pornography Week Oct. 28 – Nov. 03.

Posted on

The National White Ribbon Against Pornography (WRAP) Week brings together hundreds of national, state and local groups, along with driven concerned citizens in a massive effort to educate the public on the harms from pornography and the many resources available to aid those affected. National WRAP Week always starts the last Sunday of October. The week is intended to inform the public and public officials about the harms of pornography and the need to enforce obscenity and related laws.

The White Ribbon Against Pornography (WRAP) Campaign began with one woman in Butler, PA in 1987. Norma Norris heard a sermon against pornography delivered by the pastor of her Catholic parish. Msgr. Francis Glenn lamented that local prosecutors and law enforcement had been deluded into thinking that people didn’t care about the hardcore porn being sold in her

community. Norma looked at the full pews in the church and said, “That can’t be; we’re here and we care!” Norma then gave herself the challenge to inspire her community and to send out the message: WE CARE! WE COUNT! Norma thought the plan had to be simple, inexpensive, and something to catch the imagination. Soon after, the idea of a simple white ribbon as a symbol of decency came to her, and a movement was born.

Pornography has become increasingly acceptable, accessible and freely available. It is one of the biggest threats to our children’s online safety. Today, any computer literate child can view, either intentionally or accidentally, sexually explicit pornography online–from adult pornography (like the kind that appears in Playboy) to prosecutable material depicting graphic sex acts, love sex shows, orgies, bestiality and violence.

Pornography has been implicated in an increase in teen promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases, divorce, child sexual abuse, rape, human sex trafficking, and a decrease in worker productivity. “Clearly, children also need protection both from exposure to hardcore pornography and from sexual predators who use this material to groom their victims and arouse themselves.”

On Tuesday October 16th, 2018, students from all across the nation will give up their voices in solidarity with the over 3,000 lives taken by abortion every day, whose voices will never be heard.

Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity was founded by Bryan Kemper in 2004.

On this day, people all over the world will give up their voices in solidarity with the pre-born children who have had their voices silenced by abortion.

Red arm bands and duct tape will identify them as taking part in the Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity. They will carry fliers explaining why they are silent and educate others about the plight of the innocent children we are losing every day.

We ask that you wear a red arm band or red duct tape over your mouths to identify that you are taking part in the National Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity. You can also wear a pro-life t-shirt to show your support. Take a vow of silence for the day, acting in solidarity for those who have been silenced forever.

We are remembering those who were lost and hurt by abortion by giving up our voices and remaining in solidarity. Will you join us?

Life Chain’s Across America October 7th.

Posted on

Annually, on the first Sunday in October, LIFE CHAIN invites the churches in each city and town across North America to stand on a designated local sidewalk and pray for 90 minutes, while holding one of the following approved pro-life sign messages nationallifechain.org.

This is a family event.

Stand with thousands of pro-life individuals throughout the USA and Canada in honor of millions of babies whose lives have been lost to abortion.

Stand with thousands of pro-life individuals throughout the USA and Canada in honor of millions of babies whose lives have been lost to abortion.  Pray for people in crisis situations and for our nations.  You’ll be a light in a darkened world as you help put an end to abortion through prayer!

In 2014, 1550 cities and towns held Life Chains, and each Chain is posted at LifeChain.net.

Started in 1987 we call LIFE CHAIN “a serious first step to pro-life activism.” It’s a serious step in that it requires us to stand publicly for one hour, while holding a pro-life sign and praying through the prayer topics on the back of our sign. That brief experience has led thousands of Christians across North America to join local pro-life groups and work as volunteers throughout the year. Find a Life Chain near your town.

LIFE CHAIN is a peaceful and prayerful public witness of pro-life individuals standing for 90 minutes praying for our nation and for an end to abortion.  It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception until natural death.  Learn more about the Life Chain Pro-Life movement.

chalking. Others use the visual of 3,500 hearts to show how many babies die in a single day in America from abortion. Chalk the sidewalk at your school, your church, your neighborhood—anywhere that is public property.

With a handful of chalk and an arsenal of pro-life slogans, you can leave a lasting impression on hundreds or even thousands of people.

Don’t get discouraged if your “artwork” is scuffed or washed off by haters – that means they saw it. Place messages at different angles and perspectives so foot traffic from every direction will catch a glimpse. Keep the messages short and succinct; you only have a brief moment to get your point across – make it count. Use bright or pastel colors like pink, blue, white and yellow.

CHALK UP for LIFE! Grab some friends and chalk up your neighborhood.

40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families.

The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ’s resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge.

Want to end abortion? If you do, the first thing you must do is pray. Prayer is at the center of 40 Days for Life. During each campaign, we are calling on people of faith across the nation … and around the world … to fall on their knees before the Lord, asking Him to hear our plea and heal our land. Pray outside an abortion facility. Pray at church. Pray at work. Pray in the car. Pray at home with your family.

The visible, public centerpiece of 40 Days for Life is a focused, 40-day, non-stop, round-the-clock prayer vigil outside a single Planned Parenthood center or other abortion facility in your community. Learn more about the 40 Days for Life Campaign which is starting soon.

Tiny Feet, Precious Feet, Priceless Feat

Posted on

The Precious Feet pin has become the international pro-life symbol for those working to end abortion and to promote the respect for life. Millions of Precious Feet pins have been distributed throughout the world.

This remarkable little pin has been responsible for countless people changing their minds on abortion,
Virginia Evers designs the Pro-Life pin. This would become the iconic pro-life “Precious Feet” pin

“All of a sudden, I saw these tiny feet; these perfectly formed tiny feet, with little toes, little wrinkles and creases and I held them between my fingers and took the picture. I was crying because I felt so bad – it just really got to me,” he said. “I really didn’t think the photo would be anything, but God must have taken the picture because it was perfect, and I knew that this would be one powerful way to send a message to the world, as this unborn baby was only about 10 weeks along.” Dr. Russell Sacco, takes the image.

The Precious Feet were birthed in 1978 when 86-year-old Virginia Evers, remembering a pro-life ad she saw in the San Diego Union that included Dr. Russell Sacco’s photograph of a 10-week-old unborn baby’s delicate feet, used it as her inspiration for designing a lapel pin the exact size and shape of an unborn baby’s feet at 10 weeks after conception. Virginia Evers designs the pin.

When Roe v. Wade came before the Supreme Court, Dr. Sacco expected the court would rule against abortion because it was evident from his photographs that unborn babies are not “blobs of tissue,” but human beings. “I was just so shocked that they went along with this,” he said. “Here I had the proof that these babies were not tissue, but real people. Since Roe v. Wade, more than 51 million babies have been murdered. It is horrifying.” Dr. Russell Sacco can’t believe Supreme Court decision.

How one photo of a preborn baby helped to make future generations pro-life.
