Editor,
Our nation has just paid tribute to the 3,000 victims of the attack on the World Trade Center in New York, and rightfully so.
My question is this: Does it matter whether the victims of murder are 5 feet tall or 5 inches tall? Does it matter whether it was an act of violence perpetrated by terrorists or by an abortionist?
In Montana alone, every year more than 2,000 babies' lives are snuffed out legally by abortionists. Most of them are performed in Planned Parenthood abortion clinics. Where is the outrage?
Why is it a matter of choice to be made by the mother of the baby already formed in her womb, a baby whose heart is already beating before the mother is aware of its existence? A dead baby is not a statistic. It is a gift from God, no less than the victims of 9/11. Where is the outrage?
Since Roe v. Wade, more lives have been taken by abortion than by all the wars we have fought, all the victims of the Holocaust and slavery combined. Where is the outrage?
Our Constitution declares that we are all endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights: the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Without life, there can be no pursuit of liberty and no pursuit of happiness.
Let us work; let us pray that it does not take 150 years to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, as it did to overturn the Supreme Court decision that declared slavery to be legal.
We can make it happen in our lifetime.
