Billy GrahamToday an educated, civilized society is turning its face while thousands of unborn babies are being killed. God Himself, if not history, will judge this greater holocaust.
About This Quote
Martin Luther King Jr. said this in a speech to a group of clergy in 1967. At the time, he was speaking about the plight of the African-American people and the fight for civil rights. As the years have passed, however, his words have taken on a new meaning.
Today, we can see that there is so much injustice in the world and so many atrocities happening around us, but we still seem unable to do anything about it. After all these years, we still cannot stop discrimination against some people based on their race or sex and we still do not have a great solution for poverty and hunger. We can no longer ignore the fact that human beings kill thousands of unborn babies every day and that we still do not have laws against such acts.
Ironically, it is because of our lack of action that there are future generations who will judge us by our actions today.
