I remember when I was in charge of the Pro Life Sunday at church and wanted children to do the white rose display which is a gentle but moving reminder of the number of lives lost to abortion since Roe V Wade. Children carry white roses to a cradle at the center of the stage and place the rose in the cradle while Brahm's Lullaby is being played. It is very moving. I had asked one family who adopted two children from another country to participate but they declined since they do not want their children to know about the horror of abortion. I can understand that but I continue to struggle with hiding abortion because it is too awful to show or talk about.....but we allow it, promote it, legalize it, justify it.

Coincidence or did my comment prompt this post? Hmmm.....
It's not the "horrors" of abortion that I object the children witnessing (though I don't think young children should see photos of bloody surgeries and births either), but rather the using of children as political tools.
Just thought it was an interesting post and sign of the times....don't remember the comment you referred to but thanks for commenting!
You don't remember the comment? That's a good one Susie seeing as it's the only other one you had today!
