A terrible irony

I refreshed the article I referenced in the previous post and was heartbroken to see this ad on the page. In the midst of an article about how to dispose of murdered children is an advertisement for Sparrow Hospital with the words "Inspired by Life" and a picture of a newborn child. What a contrast that this child is held and loved while another is thrown in a dumpster.

How precious is a newborn baby! What a miracle, what a wonder! How many millions never made it to this point since Roe v. Wade and are never held by a mother or a nurse or a proud grandparent? What a terrible legacy this country has embraced, a legacy of millions upon millions of the most innocent among us who never had a chance to be held and loved. It is a stain on the legacy of this nation and the shame of the church that we spend more on our own comforts than we do on fighting for the lives of these children.

It is more than a "stain on the legacy of this nation", it is simply a reflection of the fallenness of man...
