Decide to do what you can to defend unborn babies
To the editor:
Many anniversaries are celebrations for happy events. Not so, January 22, 2014 (the 41st anniversary of the legalization of abortion in the U.S.)! Why not? Because as a friend said, “Not even one abortion per week is acceptable. Not one per month. Not one per year. Not one in our lifetime . . . The dignity of the human person begins at the moment of conception, not at birth.”
Irena Sendler’s father said, “If you see a man drowning, you must save him, even if you cannot swim.” The good news is that 87 abortion clinics were closed in 2013 due to people’s prayers and witness. Thank you, if you participated.
What are you doing to help ‘high risk’ babies killed by abortion?
To the editor:
Did you know that in this 21st century, with the latest modern medical technology, the majority of pre-born human babies are at “high risk?” At “high risk?” Yes, at “high risk.” It’s not from heart disease, diabetes, or any other treatable medical condition.
Many babies are at the “high risk” of never being born. I know this is hard to believe. Especially to each person who has held a newborn baby. Or who has seen the light in the eyes of the mother and father looking at their child/children.
