Letter: Standing by while babies are being killed is morally wrong

Posted

To the editor:

David Hawla wrote a letter criticizing another because of that person's point of view on abortion which was in direct conflict of his own. He then goes on to say “we men should leave it to women to make the decision."

From my perspective, for anyone to stand by while innocent babies are being killed is morally wrong. 

We now have progressives in New York and Virginia pushing for late term abortions right up to and including birth. In the case of Virginia, the governor said the baby could be born and kept comfortable while the doctor and mother decide what to do. That is called infanticide — killing the child after they have been born. 

If Mr. Hawla wants to sit idly by while innocent children are being murdered, it doesn’t mean the rest of us have to remain silent.
