Trundling the news across the Internet this afternoon, I came across a couple of stark articles in the British web-paper, the Telegraph.
The first is a horrifying account of a young artist who hung herself the day before her 31st birthday because she aborted her twins. It's a tragic tale.
The second is a commentary regarding Great Britain's Abortion Act, a bit of legislation that was meant to limit the confusion if it appeared a woman's life was jeopardized by her pregnancy. Ultimately what it did was to open the British floodgates for abortion on demand. The author states that 1 in 3 pregnancies in Europe now end in abortion.
As we turn into the homestretch for election 2008, America will be deciding what it believes regarding innocent life. If you think it's only about the baby, let me encourage you to click the link to the first article. This tragedy affects both mother and child. It drives us to the point where we must determine whether we will recognize mankind as and treat it with humanity or whether we will regard it as mere material treat it with no more value than a scrap of paper.
Choice and freedom are vital in our nation, but law has always guarded and protected the rights of the weakest citizens. Will we continue to wicker the law to satisfy our whims? Or will we guard our most vulnerable citizens from inhuman, barbaric treatment?
Your vote matters. Your voice matters. Just ask William Wilberforce.
