The battle to protect innocent babies has only begun

All humans are made in the image of God, and all murder - including abortion - is a direct attack on God's image.

I submitted this to the Bloomington Herald-Times as a letter to the editor:

We recoil deep in our hearts at the murder of innocents, but why is that? It is not because we have a commitment to basic human rights. The reason murder is wrong is not for secular "human rights" reasons. The reason murder is wrong is because human beings are made in the image of God. Murdering an innocent is a direct attack on the image of God.

But too many people have rebelled against the truth that we are all made in God's image, including many of our elected leaders and judges. Some of them, like the nine members of the Bloomington City Council, actively use tax money to directly pay for abortions and travel for abortions - a truly wicked action.

When the wicked Roe v. Wade decision was finally overturned last summer, it was a great day for the innocents targeted by the abortion industry. But that Supreme Court decision was the beginning of the battle to protect innocent lives, not the end of it. Come to the Monroe County Courthouse at 2:00 p.m. on January 22, 2023 as we sadly remember 63 million innocent babies killed and as we stand to protect those who are still vulnerable.
