I came across a site, thanks to a link posted on a forum about natural womens health issues, dedicated to a project I hadn’t heard of before- The Red Envelope Project.
The concept is simple, yet touching. It involves a empty Red Envelope, addressed to our President, Barak Obama, symbolizing the life of a child who never had a chance to make a difference in the world, because their right to live was robbed them by an abortion.
Responsibility starts with conception. It’s true.
While the project may not make a difference in the laws of this land, it is a silent protest to the laws that allow others to take life for granted and treat responsibility lightly. It is a project that may be worth something, somewhere, somehow. I don’t know.
Abortion is a controversial issue, even amongst Christians. It shouldn’t be. God created life, and He sustains it. He has great plans for each little life, even if conceived in less than ideal circumstances. Who are we to decide that this plan is over?
Amen! I encurage you and your families to do this “red envelope” project! Maybe it will prove effective.
God Bless.

A big amen to that last paragraph. This has really burdened my heart over the last year. Its an unspeakable tragedy.
How does one reconcile the desire to have a separation between church and state while outlawing abortion (a moral/religious decision)?
I just got the very same thing in my email from an acquaintance! I wonder if it will work…but think I will go ahead and try it anyway. We shouldn’t give up just because something may not be effective.
