Our country is in a fervor again over mass shootings. One of the deeper issues or root causes that Americans refuse to consider or much less talk about (because it seems “intolerant” of us) is the selective and total disregard for life in the womb. Abortion is kept hidden because it is barbaric.
We too hide under covers and pretend God somehow loves these innocents less than those killed by guns. How else could a society so easily dispose of 60 million babies?
This number represents the current population of both California and New York! The fruit of abortion is violence. Silent Americans on this issue contribute to the continuing deterioration of the love, care and respect that should be given to every person, born or unborn.
