Forty years ago this week, the United States Supreme Court decided that taking a life in the womb was allowed under our Constitution.
I oppose violence of any kind toward any of God’s creation. Abuse of the environment or of any of God’s creatures should never be allowed. Forty years ago this week, the United States Supreme Court decided that taking a life in the womb was allowed under our Constitution. Believing that life begins at conception, I see this as the taking of a life. The arguments used to determine the allowance of abortion always rests upon human choice. The most vulnerable and innocent among us are not allowed to have their choice known when someone else determines their life will end.

Ray, Thank you for writing this article and reminding us that innocent children need to be protected. I too was wondering about the lost impact of those millions of babies that were killed and discarded as if they were useless matter.
