If your first grader comes from school home with a black eye because an eighth grader punched him or her, you think: What a bully.

Who is the worst bully in our country? Is it our government, the medical team who perform abortions, or the mother who chooses to have her son or daughter's life ended before birth?

It has been 40 years since abortion has been legalized in our nation. Oh, what a horrible law. Many lives were wasted who could have become great citizens. Somebody's planned husband or wife was killed. A doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief or other professional who could have done some good for the community. Maybe one of these victims could have discovered a cure for AIDS, cancer, diabetes, etc. Or a person could have led us into world peace.

The newspaper printed the other day that so many abortions in 2011 could not have taken place if it was not for Catholics who voted for President Obama. But we cannot blame all the million abortions on Obama that have taken placesince 1973, Roe v. Wade.

We do not have to keep allowing this bad law to exist in our country. Women were not allowed to vote at one time then we amended that law. When are we ever going to realize these unborn babies are real people and stop this murder? We are supposed to love and respect one another and this includes the unborn.
