The Headmistress at The Common Room suggested a look at this photograph.
How can anyone look at that photo and argue with these words of Edward Cardinal Egan, Archbishop of New York?
“It is high time to stop pretending that we do not know what this nation of ours is allowing—and approving—with the killing each year of more than 1,600,000 innocent human beings within their mothers. We know full well that to kill what is clearly seen to be an innocent human being or what cannot be proved to be other than an innocent human being is as wrong as wrong gets.”
We rightly rejoice that our nation was able to overcome decades of prejudice and discrimination yesterday and elect a black man to the highest office in this country. When will we be able to rejoice that our nation has been given eyes to see the prejudice and discrimination and murder that has been perpetrated against our youngest citizens and when will we end it? Not one of those babies who have died since 1973 will be able to be elected president ever.

Sherry, I just learned of your blog from reading your September/October Horn Book article. Love your blog and aplaud your efforts at not only promoting books but truth as well. Awesome article by Cardinal Egan; thanks for sharing it.
Amen. That’s why I’m having a hard time “rejoicing with those who rejoice.” There isn’t much to rejoice about.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I don’t think either party has fully addressed the sanctity of human life. One accepts abortion and fights against the death penalty, while the other fights abortion and heartily supports the death penalty. As a Catholic, I find no comfort in either.
