In a recent article in the paper (not the Times News), it was discussed about abortion, when the fetus was considered a baby. It got me thinking. I had three children. Whenever I went to the doctors to see if I was pregnant, he always said I was going to have a baby, not a fetus. And when I delivered, once again, it was a baby. So from the very start I was having a baby, not something to be thrown away.

We want to protect our children in schools, but we have been allowing someone to take the life of a baby. One of the Ten Commandments is “Thou shalt not kill.” I pray that somewhere people will remember those words that Jesus gave us.
