Joel Belz on Violence and Abortion
"Cowards" in World (March 27, 1999), pg. 7
Selected aspects of the whole scenario are then reported by a cowardly
media. I say "slected aspects" because the steady media diet we're all
offered conspicuously leaves out two key aspects of the story. With all
the focus on the violence just outside the clinics, never is there a
detailed accounting of the much more terrible violence within. And only
rarely is there an accounting of the violence that happens deep in
women's hearts and souls as they say a deliberate and purposeful
goodbye to their own offspring. Only a cowardly media could ignore so
central — and so gripping — a part of the story. Yet the most cowardly aspect of all may be the outsized disparity
between the big people and the little people. The parents who concieve
the babies, the abortionists who destroy them, the politicians who aid
and abet, the reporters who give one-sided accounts — all these
grownups conspire agianst tiny victims who typically will not be
permitted even to draw their first breath of life, much less use that
breath to scream their protest.
