Letter to the Editor,
Abortion and gun violence
Abortion and gun violence that kill innocent human life is always wrong.
The terrorists with guns, who cause carnage and devastation, are rightly demonized by everyone; however, the terrorists with forceps and a vacuum aspiration device who cause millions of deaths and make millions in profit every year are celebrated by liberals.
There is selective outrage when it comes to violence.
The mainstream media completely ignores those cases of terrorism that are in keeping with their ideology and highlights only those cases that denounce their ideology through denigrating and disparaging non-stop coverage.
The pro-abortion movement believes only certain lives matter and that only certain human lives are equal.
The Pro-Life movement believes all lives matter, and all lives are equal.
The pro-abortion movement denies the scientifically and morally irrefutable evidence about human development and believes rejecting abortion is “hate speech”.
Pro-Lifer’s value life, work to create a culture that affirms the intrinsic worth of every human being and believe advocating for life is “love speech”.
The Pro-Life movement has taken on injustices by educating the public, by working through the legal system; by changing people’s hearts with triumphant stories of adoption, pro-abortion to Pro-Life conversions, and being stronger than life’s circumstances.
The purveyors of abortion violence reveal their hypocrisy in tragic situations by blaming the nonviolent for the violence.
Heinous acts of violence cannot be blamed on the Pro-Life movement that consistently deplores violence.
Some decry the division that the abortion debate brings, but division is not always something to deplore since it delineates right from wrong and good from evil.
Despite the relentless propaganda from the mainstream media, progressives, celebrity elites, and billion-dollar taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood; the majority of Americans including young people and women are Pro-Life.
Truth, compassion, and love build bridges that are always welcoming those to the side that believes that violence against the innocent, in any form, diminishes our humanity.
No violence should be tolerated in a civil society, no matter where it occurs, at a Sunday Church Service or abortion center.
