The Alabama Legislature recently passed a resolution declaring January 22 The Day of Tears and encouraging Alabamans to lower their flags to half-staff on that day.
The U.S. Supreme Court handed down its infamous Roe v. Wade abortion decision on January 22, 1973. The resolution commemorates the millions of unborn babies whose lives have been lost to abortion.
The Alabama resolution is similar to Arkansas’ H.C.R. 1007 by Rep. Jim Wooten (R – Beebe) and Sen. Jason Rapert (R – Conway).
H.C.R. 1007 recognizes January 22 as The Day of Tears in Arkansas. It acknowledges the 61 million unborn babies killed in abortion in America over the past five decades, and it encourages Arkansans to lower their flags to half-staff on January 22 to mourn the innocent children who have lost their lives. You can read a copy of this good, pro-life resolution here.
H.C.R. 1007 passed the Arkansas House on January 21. It has since been sent to the Senate Public Health Committee for consideration.
