To the editor:

The question hovering over the sex abuse scandal at Penn State "University" is why no one intervened to stop the abuse, especially when someone walked in on the abuse.

The question hovering over the disappearance of Lauren Spierer is why someone who knows what happened to her has not come forward to share the information and find her.

It is easy to sit in judgment and say we would have done something or we would have said something in those cases. But are we really any better?

Four blocks south of the Monroe County Courthouse, children are killed every Thursday by the abortionist at Planned Parenthood. There were 845 unborn babies killed in Monroe County in 2007 alone. (See http://www.in.gov/isdh/reports/itp/2007/tbl12.htm)

Yet most of us drive on by the "clinic" where babies die every week, blissfully unaware of (or purposefully ignoring) the slaughter that goes on behind those dark gray walls. Who will stand up to Planned Parenthood and tell them to stop this wicked abomination in the eyes of God?

January 22 will be the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Come to the Monroe County Courthouse at 2:00 pm and be a voice for the victims of abortion.
