THOUGHTS OF A POET IN THE RAIN

I think what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary was horrible.  Yet we live in a society that allows partial birth abortion where a child is alive and being born and its skull is crushed.  But we as a society are not shocked by that.  That’s OK.  It’s not really alive because only the head has exited the woman’s body.  So we can kill it, and that’s OK.  It’s OK to kill as many unborn children as we so wish and we’re not shocked by it.  They have no names.  They have no photographs taken of them.  Newspaper articles are not written about them.  TV commentators make no mention of them.  And that’s OK.  We as a society allow these deaths to occur every day.  Every day!  And it’s OK, to crush a child’s skull because we as a society believe it’s OK.  Well I don’t!  It sickens me.  So mourn the dead of Sandy Hook, as you should.  Be horrified by the acts of a madman, as you should.  But shame on us for allowing the deaths of other innocent children struggling to be born only to have their brains crushed.  How many died yesterday.  How many would die today.  But we as a society endorse that.  That’s OK.  No gun was involved.  A clamp is used.  No one is of there to protect a child, to mourn a child, to give a damn about the child.  And to our society that’s OK.
