PRO-LIFE UPDATE (September 13th, 2021)
By Katherine Adelaide, JD, Member, Carroll County Republican Central Committee (CCRCC)
My Dear Fellow Central Committee Members:
First, Happy Belated New Year to my Jewish colleagues. As a Christian, I also study and celebrate the Jewish holidays, first of which is Rosh Hashanah (September 6-8th) with its’ universal spiritual themes of Renewal and Repentance leading up to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which begins this Wednesday, September 15th.
The Old Testament “Feast of Trumpets” has particular relevance for me regarding New Testament End Time Prophecies in the book of Revelation when the Trumpet ushers in the final Tribulation and Judgment of God. On December 6, 2017, President Trump fulfilled his campaign promise when he announced the United States’ recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and ordered the planning of the relocation of the US embassy in Israel from tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which occurred in May of 2018. Both Jewish and Christian scholars agree that this event had prophetic significance in both the Old and New Testaments regarding the establishment of Israel as a State and the Jewish Messianic age.
Finally, Rosh Hashanah is a wonderful opportunity to make and eat challah bread and apples dipped in honey, matzo ball soup, my grandmother's German potato pancakes and apple cake and to connect with my Pro-Life Jewish friends and Central Committee colleagues. Shanah Tovah!

DEFEND LIFE: NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR ABORTED CHILDREN
On 9/11/ 2001, nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost to terrorism 20 years ago and duly remembered this past Saturday, 9/11/21. As is my usual custom, I watched the New York and other 911 ceremonies online and appreciate how often the words “God” and “Prayer” are used.
However, in 2018 as a newly elected, first term Central Committee member, I visited the Shanksville, Pennsylvania Memorial site for the first time on 9-11when President Trump spoke. As I was listening, I wondered how many Pre-Born babies died each day from abortion and learned that 3,000 innocent lives are lost every day since 1973 to the unconstitutionally “legalized” Terrorism in the Womb called Abortion. While I mourned the loss of the 3,000 murdered on 9/11 and greatly appreciated the beautiful Shanksville Memorial, I wondered, "Where is the Memorial for the 60 million and counting lives lost from abortion?"
Answered prayer, here it is: a NATIONAL MEMORIAL FOR THE PRE-BORN:
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2021. FREE!
Towson, 8:30 am
Towson, 10:00 am (Different location)

As President George W. Bush said when the hunt for Bin Laden and the other terrorists began after 9-11, “LET’S ROLL” and remember the PRE-BORN by attending one of these memorials this coming Saturday, September 18, 2021.

NEXT WEEK: MDGOP WEEKLY "SPOTLIGHT" SUMMER OF 2021 PRO-LIFE WRAP-UP!
I did not publish a Pro-Life Update for the MDGOP newsletter last Monday, September 6th because it was Labor Day, and I was marching in the Greenbelt Labor Day parade with the 40 Days for Life, College Park chapter and wanted to include my coverage of that event in my Summer 2021 Pro-Life Wrap-Up.
Wow, what a Pro-Life Summer this has been for me. Writing this weekly Pro-Life Update for the MDGOP newsletter “Spotlight” Edition has inspired me to incorporate more Pro-Life ideas and events into the “Summer of 2021” than I have ever done before, so that I might inspire YOU to incorporate more Pro-Life into your own Life. Don't miss it next week!
As we approach Yom Kippur on Sundown this Wednesday, September 15th, I give thanks for Judaism's recognition of Sin, Repentance and Atonement, which is also the foundation of the Christian faith. The traditional Yom Kippur greeting is “G'mar Chatima Tovah” which means, “May you be sealed in the book of Life.” Christian scripture cross-references include Acts 29:7-11 (Yom Kippur) and the book of Revelation which mentions “the Book of Life” seven times and also in Paul's letter to the Philippians.
I will be fasting and praying this Yom Kippur that America Repents from the great Sin of Abortion. Please join me.
In Christ and For Life,
