We are all saddened for the loss of innocent young life at the Oxford, Michigan school earlier this month. Those four students will never experience a future of joys and challenges.

Millions of Americans have also mourned the loss of nearly 63 million innocent babies from 1973 to 2019 due to chemical and skull-crushing late term abortions. This is according to Planned Parenthood-friendly The Guttmacher Institute.

President Joe Biden, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and many other well-known politicians vigorously support and champion the killing of unborn babies through abortion, some even up to hours before birth. Hollywood, academia, and media all demean life so why are we so shocked and p—-d off that a teenage boy allegedly went into a school and shot fellow students to death? How many people support the daily taking of life in the womb?

And now, people with dementia, disabled at any age and the aged are becoming the next targets for riddance in European countries and Canada. We’re not far behind with eight states allowing “physician assisted suicide,” a euphemism for illegal euthanasia. So until society truly regards all life as worthy, society will continue to degrade life.

And to the AP reporter, Dec. 10, (“Michigan diocese:Transgender must ‘repent’ to be baptized”) who reported that the Roman Catholic Church “exemplifies that trend” of not supporting abortion – it has been our belief for over two thousand years that life begins at conception. That is not a trend.
