To the editor:

“And in that way we come to realize that we bear responsibility for every child, because we’re counting on everybody else to help look after ours, that we’re all parents, that they are all our children.”

“We can’t tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change.”

“Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?”

“‘Let the little children come to me,’ Jesus said, ‘and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'”

The previous four paragraphs are excerpts from President Barack Obama’s marvelous speech in Newtown, Conn., following the horrendous tragedy that occurred on Friday. My question is: Why is it so hard to believe that this can take place in a country where we legally dispose of a million children per year through abortion? Yes, Mr. President, and this is one of the few times I would agree with you, they are all our children. I would add one more Scripture verse seeing as you brought it up: “Before you were born, I knew you..” Jeremiah 1:5
