The following is a segment from Bradley Mattes, Executive Director of Life Issues Institute regarding the school shooting in Newtown CT:
"The world outpouring of shock, grief and love has been as it should be. God created us to reach out to our fellow man at times like these. Then I thought of the other children who have been just as brutally and violently killed, and I wondered, where is the shock? Where is the grief? Where is the outcry?
Every day, about 3,300 unborn children are intentionally killed—yes murdered—not inside schools, but in America’s abortion mills. That’s 165-times the number of precious children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary. Where are the headlines? Where is the Presidential condemnation?"
President Obama says he will use the full power of his office to protect children. He needs to amend his statement. He really only means to protect "wanted" children, not "unwanted" children in the womb. I would like nothing more than to see him protect all children, wanted, unwanted, born, unborn.
Of course, the shooting has been the major topic of talk radio all week. One host in Cincinnati was lamenting the horror because these children had hobbies. One liked to play soccer. One's hair color or eye color was this or that. Our country needs major conversion of heart. Having hobbies or playing soccer does not give us our worth. Our personality, hair color or eye color, which are only known after birth, do not give us our worth. All humans are worthy of love from the first moment of life.
Like Earl Pitts would say: "Wake up America!"
"......not inside schools, but in America’s abortion mills." It should be stated--not inside schools, but inside their own mothers!!!!! Very, very sad to say the least! Yeah, life isn't always what WE plan---I don't think that Mary planned on having a child unwed and at a younge age but thankfully she said YES, without hesitation! And with that YES came our King and Savior Jesus!!!
