Why Worry About Animals

When Babies Are At Risk?

To the Editor:

This is a response to “The Harsh Life of Animals” from Friday, January 21’s, letter from Katharine Bloxsom.

While I do agree the condition that the animals are treated in is harsh, I think that because of her age she is overlooking something that might be just a little more important the animals. The animals, in my opinion are getting more attention than the 47 million babies that have been aborted in the last 32 years. If you do the math that is 1,468,750 babies every year since 1973, and that is a least 4,025 babies everyday. Maybe some people might say, “Well it’s the woman’s choice,” but it’s not right to kill a baby no matter what perspective you put it in. Killing a baby in the womb of a mother is murder.

Where is Planned Parenthood located? Not in Newtown. Why? Because abortion was founded by a woman who wanted to “get rid of human weed.” Of course when she said this she meant the children of poor people and African Americans. That is why you never see a Planned Parenthood in suburban neighborhoods. So, why do we worry about animals when we ourselves are killing thousands of babies that might have made a difference in America?
