Bin Laden and Pro-Life Reflections

Now that Osama Bin Laden is dead there is a sort of bitter sense of finality. Of course his most infamous act was the murder of 3,000 innocent American civilians on September 11, 2001. Immediately after I heard about this on Sunday night I began to think of the pro-life movement.



Every day, about 4,000 innocent human beings are killed through abortion. That's more than 9/11. In New York, we greatly surpass 9/11 numbers of casualties every couple of weeks.


After 9/11 the country was united. In the face of such atrocities we stood for what was right. And yet now there is hardly any such response to the fact that America is aborting its future. In Bin Laden - the enemy was clear, however for the crime of abortion, the enemy is more hidden. The enemy in the abortion issue is The Enemy.


Abortion could be ended if we zeroed in on The Enemy like the military zeroed in on Bin Laden. For all of the despair the Enemy causes we must fight it with hope; with darkness - light; and with loneliness we can fight The Enemy with love.


Only when the enemy is defeated will the abortion issue be settled, and will there be a semblance of justice for those innocents killed.
