On September 10, 2001, about 3 thousand innocent Americans were murdered. They had absolutely no say over the matter. Our nation lost 3 thousand people that day – people who may have found a cure for cancer, or become war heroes or just become one of the ordinary people that make our country what it is. They could have been so much.
But they were murdered on that day, exactly 10 years ago.
Tomorrow, almost everyone in our nation will recount 9/11 – the death of almost 3 thousand Americans. Adult Americans, that is.
What happened on 9/11 was a tragedy.
But why do we not grieve the innocent babies that are, through abortion, murdered every single day?
The number is nearly the same.
The victims are even more helpless then the victims in the twin towers were.
Since when do those out of the womb matter more then those inside?
Every day, it seems.
What if every day was a repeat of 9/11/01? What if three thousand adult Americans were being murdered every day? How would we react? Would it be with callous indifference, or with outrage?
But ever since 1973 A.D., citizens of America have had this happening to them daily. Approximately three thousand of their number are wiped out. Every day. Of every week. Of every month. Of every year.
“Terrorists will kill over 3,000 Americans today, right here. It will not make the news nor trouble most Christians. They’re just babies.” -R.c. Sproul Jr.
