Death of Roe

The death of Roe brings three things to mind that I would like to mention:

First: Thanks be to God! I was starting to wonder if I would see the end of Roe v. Wade in my lifetime.

Second: It may be helpful if we defenders of innocent human life continue to point out, every chance we get, that there is a strong precedent for earlier, wrong and embarrassing Supreme Court cases to be overturned by newer, more correct ones, as better information becomes available. For example, virtually no one disagrees with Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka Kansas as it overturned the now shameful Plessy v. Ferguson case which allowed for "separate but equal" 58 years prior. Dobbs overturning Roe is likewise a beautiful correction.

Third: What about future embarrassment for companies who are on the wrong side of history? Just like slavery and the extermination of Jews are on the wrong side of history, I am confident that the killing of the unborn will some day be on the wrong side of history. Even though I was born almost three decades after the end of World War II, I remember in my early adulthood a story that was still a public relations nightmare for the Bayer Company. Reports show that they supported the Third Reich and benefitted from experiments that were done on human subjects who were imprisoned in the Nazi's concentration camps: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/bayer

An apology was issued in 1995: https://apnews.com/article/7b473229d1d46f012c2639d4648319d7

How embarrassing will it be for Disney and all these other companies when they are found to be on the wrong side of history for funding their employees' travel to get abortions in states where it is less restrictive? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/companies-offering-abortion-travel-benefits-us-workers-2022-06-24/

Do they provide it for the sake of profits? Is it because maternity leave causes a disruption in efficient production? I would rather see them profit by promoting human life and more future customers.

My prayer is for the conversion of hearts. Come Lord Jesus!
