Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

EAST LANSING - The Michigan Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice will hold its annual commemorative lecture celebrating the 32nd anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road. The speaker is Leslie Watson Malachi, director of the Black Church Initiative and the Women of Color Partnership at the national Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice in Washington, D.C. The public is welcome.

"Celebrating"? What's more discouraging is that this group is supported by most of the mainline Christian denominations.

UPDATE: How ironic is it that the scheduled speaker for this "celebration" is named Malachi. I think the old prophet's words are as relevant today as in his time:

Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, "Wherein have we wearied him?" When ye say, "Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them"; or, "Where is the God of judgment?"
