March 17th, 1997
Vancouver, WA—An entire nation recoiled in
horror over the weekend, after learning of the discovery - by children
playing in a field - of five cardboard boxes containing the bodies of 30
human babies which appeared to have come from an abortion clinic, according
to a law enforcement spokesman in San Bernardino, California.
In light of the present, revived debate in Congress over the so-called
medical procedure of "partial birth abortion," the discovery
of these dead infants once again exposes society to the reality that abortion
always involves the death of an innocent, developing human being.
In a statement today, Washington for Traditional Values Executive Director
Bob Larimer observed:
"In the same way that the routine, deliberate killing of almost completely
delivered infants can not be ignored, but must be faced by Congress and
the President, so the deaths of these innocent babies must be reckoned
with. Has our society become so callous and disrespectful of human life
that even innocent children at play must stumble over the human refuse
resulting from our ‘choices’?
Perhaps the doubly dishonored little bodies of these victims of our culture’s
semantic cover-ups -- along with the undeniable exposure of the deadly
‘medicine’ of partial birth abortion -- will help Americans edge closer
to conceding that we have opened ourselves up to a holocaust of staggering
proportions and tragic consequences.
It takes a ‘village’ to ignore the deaths of its youngest and most vulnerable.
It will take a village that is finally willing to admit it’s awful mistake,
before abortion is relegated to that painful portion of our history where
slavery and the genocide of Native Americans are, with due shame, acknowledged.
Until then the silent – ordinarily invisible - daily destruction of innocent
unborn children will continue. We must decide: What kind of village are
we?"
