The only goal is to save innocent lives

Posted October 24, 2007 11:00 pm

Pro-life individuals, including me, understand the atrocity of abortion. Pro-life individuals know that an abortion kills an innocent human being. The life that is terminated by an abortion is human life. This is a scientific fact. Pro-life individuals in Aurora are trying to save innocent human lives by showing their support of the unborn children who cannot speak for themselves.

Can there be a nobler action in the world? By being a voice for unborn children, pro-life individuals are letting a community know that the Planned Parenthood clinic is a clinic of death and not a clinic of health services for struggling men and women.

We can look back now and see the courage of men and women like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. Hopefully, people will realize that atrocities, such as segregation, do not happen overnight. These are gradual events that creep into our society just like abortion has. My thoughts and respect are with those pro-life individuals in Aurora and around the world. I hope that our nation understands their courage sooner rather than later.
