Children who were almost born--almost free, have suffered horrible deaths at the hands of abortionists. Most abortionists are doctors who actually took an oath to save lives.

We are living in a time where there is so little thought for human life. The man who seemingly without effort gunned down bright, young college students in Virginia is proof of that fact.

We are hearing more and more of this type of heinous crime and I can't help but think that the catalyst for these events may have been the Roe vs. Wade decision of 1973--a decision that made it legal to brutally kill unborn children. More than 47 million children have been viciously killed without a blinking of this nation's eye...in an almost "business as usual" fashion.

But, thanks to modern technology and 3-D ultra sounds, America is growing in knowledge and realization that abortion stops a beating heart---that abortion kills a child.

Today's decision by the United States Supreme Court upholding the ban on partial birth abortions has encouraged me to press on. It's not enough to save some of these innocent little Americans--we must strive to protect all.
