A holocaust is a massive and gruesome destruction of human life. The first great holocaust on record is Pharoah's slaughter of infants recorded in Exodus 1:15. The New Testament holocaust is the slaughter of infants under Herod, Matthew 2:16. Modem holocausts have taken place under Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. It is estimated that 150 million people have died in this century due to Communistic totalitarianism. We are also going through a new holocaust in the United States.

In the past ten years, the U.S. Supreme Court has made two landmark decisions which have increased the massive and gruesome destruction of human life in America. In 1973, in the Roe vs. Wade decision, the Supreme Court created, out of nothing, a woman's right to abortion on demand for her own happiness. According to that decision, unborn babies are not 'persons,' therefore not under the protection of the law. The court sovereignly and irresponsibly declared that "when life begins" is not the issue. Justice Byron White called this decision "an exercise of raw judicial power."
