While
doing research for this project I knew it to be an important undertaking but I didn't count on the
emotional upset that would befall me. Several emotions
besides sadness took over my being.
First, I felt shame,
shame for my brothers and sisters who commit these horrific
acts.
have never felt such shame. People who kill their own and other babies to
accommodate their selfish desires are murderers, plain and simple
- there is
no other word to describe it. Some use other words such
as terminate, but it's still murder.
Then I become afraid, afraid because I fear we are becoming
desensitized
to ending human life. Euthanasia is creeping into the
world society more and more every day. What will happen
when we get to be of an age or condition where we are deemed
inconvenient to society? Will our lives be ended as
swiftly as these poor innocent unborn children?
Lastly, I felt responsible. I
continue to feel my responsibility more
now than ever before. I understand the
need to help put an end to the horrendous
killing of innocence.
I know that by ignoring this issue it will not go away.
In thinking that someone else will make it go away, fuels complacency
- we need to recognize that it is only through our collective
efforts that we can affect change.
May I make one request of you? Would you take it upon
yourself to show, or at least mention these pages to someone
you know? Through that effort and your continued prayers
we will be one step
closer to ending what we all know is murder.
Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
once said,
"A
country that kills its young will not survive."
