It was an impressive sight.
Some 60,000 pro-life Californians (and some from out of state) “walked for life” in San Francisco Saturday to bring attention to the plight of little humans in the womb — preborn babies who are scheduled for a torturous abortion death.
Yes, I know what you’re thinking. California is a very pro-abortion state because of average Democrat politicians and a handful of liberal Republican ones, so what’s the use? I’ll tell you what’s the use: the fruit of our actions is changed hearts and minds.
You see, the very public message of the San Francisco march and other public pro-life events up and down the state are reaching people with intact consciences … and changing them from ambivalence on abortion … to opposition to abortion.
What’s more, everyone who went public with their values improved their character by loving others and matching their words with their actions. And which one of us doesn’t desire to have integrity before God and man, and to grow inwardly? Now, step up and step out into the 2014 California election year — find candidates who match your values and volunteer for them!

Listen to my latest SaveCalifornia.com Minute, “The personal growth that comes from moral activism”
Certainly every Christian ought to be praying and working to nullify the abominable abortion law. But as we work and pray, we should have in mind not only this important issue as though it stood alone. Rather, we should be struggling and praying that this whole other total entity “(this godless) worldview” can be rolled back with all its results across all of life.
