Prayer Bulletin for January 2026

If you are like me, as an advocate for the sanctity of human life, you did not expect to see Roe v. Wade overturned in your lifetime. Yet on Friday, June 24, 2022, after fifty years of legalized violence against the preborn, the U.S. Supreme Court finally did what it should have done all along: it told the truth. The U.S. Constitution does not contain a “right” to abortion.

We should continue to thank God for this ruling. But we should also be honest about the consequences. The battle has now returned to the states—and that includes Illinois—where we know that abortion numbers have spiked. This is happening in deep-blue states across the nation. In fact, the Guttmacher Institute estimates there were over 1,037,000 abortions in 2023, an 11 percent increase compared with 2020 figures before Roe was overturned.
