Abortion Abolition Candle
Abortion Abolition Candle
In the years leading up to
the Civil War in America, families who were a part of the Underground Railroad
would set out candles in their windows, signaling to any runaway slaves that
they could seek safe harbor there.
These candles are a symbol
of our promise to help any woman facing an unplanned crisis pregnancy and
activate this generation so abortion is never considered a woman’s “best”
option again.
This Christmas season, let’s
get as many folks as possible putting just one of these candles in windows
across America, as a symbol to our neighbors and ourselves that we are abortion
abolitionists.*
Ending abortion in our
nation will be a lot more work than just putting a candle in our window. But this
effort, which can unite tens of thousands of families across America, could be
the motivator our movement needs heading in to what we know will be a
challenging 2013.
Remember those candlelight
vigils at church: how one person lighted a candle and then the whole room was
lit by each person passing on their flame. This is what we must do, put a
candle in your window, tell one neighbor, and let the flame of truth spread.
Because we can never lose
hope. We must always fight for what we believe in.
