LTE: It is time for us to put an end to abortion

[ad_1]

To the editor:

I imagine that some of those who see my name below and the topic of abortion will say, “There he goes again, the Johnny One Note on abortion.” That’s OK with me, but I must try once again to have my say. Donald Trump might want to win votes by sidestepping this issue but as a non-politician, I don’t have such qualms.

Here’s my pitch. Slavery in the 19th century divided folks as much as the subject of abortion does today. We ended slavery after a bloody civil war, but even now racism continues to live on in the hearts of too many. There will always be divisive issues.  

Madeleine L’Engle once said, “We draw people to (the truth) not by loudly discrediting what they believe, nor by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.” Therefore, when an evil, such as the denial of the humanity of another, continues to be professed, someone must speak up and in a non-violent manner advocate for its abolishment. Right is right even when a majority sees it as wrong, and wrong is wrong even when a majority sees it as right.

In the mid-19th century, the most dangerous place for a Black man, woman, or child was in the Deep South of this nation. Today, the most dangerous place for an unborn child is in a mother’s womb. Isn’t it time that we put an end to abortion and affirm the sanctity of the unborn? Once we do that as a nation, God will take our broken pieces as a society and give us unbroken peace.

Sincerely,

John J. Kwiatek
