Why has there been Silence on the Abortion issue?

In the years that I have spent on this planet I have noticed that certain issues are wrestled about by various groups within a society over many years until the issue is decided one way or the other. If you are of my generation, people who grew up in the 1980's you can't help but remember the struggle between pro life groups and those who supported abortion. It was constantly in the news and was not uncommon to hear about people being arrested and placed in jail as a result of their demonstration.

Ever election cycle during this time we would hear how each candidate stood on this issue and each side vowed to get their man or woman into office. The issue of abortion remained a very important topic until we came to this election cycle.

I truly believe that this issue went by the way side because the mainstream media decided that this issue would be harmful to their candidate for president and as a result they buried it. There were a few attempts made by the pro life groups to bring this issue out, but they were unable to bring it to the forefront as in times past.

Does this now mean that abortion has become an accepted fact in our land? Though it may appear to have won out, I do believe that many Americans have this issue close to their hearts and will not let it die out. Could it be that since more young Americans are not choosing to go this route that abortion is now in decline and as a result has lost its place in society? I do believe this does have some effect, but until America can rid herself of this curse, America will not experience the true blessings that He has for us.

For America has just elected her first minority president. She has dealt with racism and slavery. Is it not the time to deal with abortion and recognize that life does not begin when someone is removed from the birth canal, but that life begins with conception. Once we recapture that ideal once again, than America will rise to new heights and proclaim to the world at large the greatness of our values, which are based in our heritage of faith and family.
