Letter: 'No justice for animals?' What about aborted babies?

Posted

To the editor:

In regards to the editorial of Sept. 28, 2017, “No justice for animals.”

So, “No justice for animals”? “Most of the photos of what went on inside 644 Sanford Road are way too gruesome for publication.” 

Drive by the Planned Parenthood facility in Providence some Friday morning and you’ll see a number of pro-life people peacefully demonstrating and praying there. You’ll also see a number of large gruesome photos of aborted babies as a reminder of what goes on in a facility like that. 

So, the following statement, “It certainly wouldn’t cut it if the victim was human,” makes little sense to me and millions of others. Thousands of humans are being aborted/killed every day and our laws permit this. 

Medical people know how cruel and painful to the human baby these procedures are. People get outraged over cruelty to animals, yet are not bothered by the fact it’s lawful to abort a baby? 

In regards to Mr. Nutini’s letter on the same day in the Times, yes, there is much inequality, brutality, division, and violence going on in our country. What is one to expect in a country where we have lost respect for human life?
