For myself, every day is an opportunity to look at the world with eyes open to the effects of the missing persons of a death by abortion. Phrases such as “culture of death” have become familiar to those of us that fear the changes taking place in our society that accords “civil rights” to only those with the loudest voices. But, there are consequences taking place every day in all of our lives that we need to recognize, speak and write about that will confirm this poverty of reason and faith that has left us the silent majority in today’s marketplace of ideas. I am so grateful to Ms King for taking the reins of the chariot carrying our exquisite African American babies into their destiny!
