Martin Luther King Day

USA fejrer i dag Martin Luther King (MLK) for hans fremsynede og modige kamp mod uretfærdighed og undertrykkelse. En kamp, der har mange lighedspunkter med nutidens kamp mod fri abort. Det er interessant at læse MLK's taler og breve med dette fokus: "I am thankful to God that some noble souls from the ranks of organized religion have broken loose from the paralyzing chains of conformity ... Some have been dismissed from their churches, have lost the support of their bishops and fellow ministers. But they have acted in the faith that right defeated is stronger than evil triumphant. Their witness has been the spiritual salt that has preserved the true meaning of the gospel in these troubled times. They have carved a tunnel of hope through the dark mountain of disappointment." Martin Luther King's brev fra fængslet i Birmingham
