Who Remembers the Aborted Children In 1999, I was deeply moved by the Memorial Day concert shown on TV from Washington D.C. honoring the men and women who fought and died for their country so we could all be free. They fought for all of us - the elderly, the middle aged, the young and all the babies. Yes. I am proud of my country but I'm ashamed of the law that allows the killing of babies in the womb of their mothers and the laws that for-bids mentioning God in public schools and buildings. Charles Durning, an American Movie Star, gave an impassioned speech and his moving words could well be applied to the aborted babies of our country. “We grieve for each and everyone. You are precious in our eyes. We wonder what great heights you could have achieved had your life not been taken.” I couldn't help but wonder if some day we might hold a national memorial for the over 62 million babies killed, not by an enemy from a distant land, but by our own laws and by their own mothers. Ruth Weber Davenport, Iowa ¿Quién Recuerda a los Abortados? En 1999 me emocioné mucho por el concierto del Día de la Memoria que se mostró en TV al honor de los que lucharon y dieron sus vidas por su país a fin de que fuéramos libres. Lucharon por todos – los ancianos, los de la media edad, los jóvenes y los bebés. Si estoy orgullosa por mi país, pero tengo vergüenza por la ley que permi-te el matar al niño en el seno de su mamá y las leyes que prohíben el men-cionar a Dios en las escuelas y edificios públicas. Charles Durning, el estrella estadounidense del cine, presentó un discurso apasionado y creo que sus palabras emocionantes pueden aplicarse de buena manera a los abortados: “nos afligimos por cada uno de ustedes. Son preciosos en nuestros ojos. Nos preguntamos cuántas alturas habrían conquistado si no les hubieran tomado la vida.” Yo misma tengo que preguntarme si un día habrá un memorial nacional por los 62 millones de bebés matados, no por un enemigo desde un país lejano, sino por nuestras propias leyes y sus propias madres.
