This Friday: National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Babies

"Abandoned by our entire society."

For the pro-lifers among TruthRevolt readers, take note: Saturday September 10 will be another (one more too many) annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Babies.

From LifeSiteNews

Memorial services will be held at approximately 145 locations throughout the United States for the victims of abortion, including many at the graves where aborted babies are laid to rest.  

This memorializing of aborted children, including nearly 50 gravesites around the nation where they are buried, reflects a tiny fraction of the nearly 60 million children killed by abortion since it was legalized in 1973, a release from the coalition behind the remembrance event said.

Eric Scheidler, co-director of the National Day of Remembrance and executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, has characterized a day to "embrace these children as part of the human family" since being given a proper burial was the only human kindness ever showed to them:

"The children we remember on this day were abandoned not only by their parents but by our entire society, which condones their destruction at the most vulnerable stage of human life. The pro-life activists who retrieved and buried these children gave them the only act of human kindness they would ever receive. In visiting their graves and memorial markers, we embrace these children as part of the human family."

This will mark the event's fourth year and will feature such pro-life speakers like Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King Jr., and Sandra Merritt, undercover journalist who worked with David Daleiden on exposing Planned Parenthood’s trafficking in baby parts.
