To the editor:
This is a response to the letter by Bill Checovich that appeared in the October 2, 2008 issue of the Catholic Herald, in which he urges consideration of a strategic change in the fight against abortion. He refers to Douglas Kmiec as his authority, who in turn believes that the sanctity of life and social justice are best served by an Obama presidency.
To the editor:
I strongly believe our society will be judged on how it has respected life or failed to do so over the last 35 years. Dating back to Roe vs. Wade over 35 million innocent children have been killed in our country. I want to make it very clear that I love and respect my country. I wonder and pray how we will be judged as a country and as individuals when we meet our heavenly Father.
To the editor:
Nowhere in the “Respect Life” issue of September 25 did I find any mention of the thousands of innocent lives that have been, and will still be, lost in the ongoing wars taking place in Iraq and Afghanistan. Don’t these lives deserve prayerful recognition as well?
