Out of the Mouths of
Babes… Part One of Three By Dave Andrusko Good evening, and thanks for reading Today's News & Views. Part Two reminds us how vicious and deceptive pro-abortionists can be when they feel cornered by the truth. Part Three further updates you on PPFA's bogus "Fact Sheet." Over at National Right to Life News Today (www.nationalrighttolifenews.org), you'll learn how you can help the NRL Educational Trust Fund provide educational materials around the nation. In addition, you'll catch up on the assisted suicide debate in Canada and read a wrap-up of some breaking news stories. Please send your comments on Today's News & Views and National Right to Life News Today to daveandrusko@gmail.com. If you like, join those who are following me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/daveha. Until this morning, I must have been one of the four or five people in the United States never to have heard 10-year-old Jackie Evancho perform. She is one of the four finalists in tonight's "America's Got Talent" competition, and it takes maybe three seconds of listening to her to understand why. Jackie's voice is so mature Judge Howie Mandel asked (only half in jest) if she had "swallowed" an adult. If Jackie is rightly famous, there is another voice--an even younger voice--that also ought to be heard by millions of people. It's found on YouTube and is titled, "Zachary's Thoughts on Abortion!" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-qgcpxtudc). It would be doing you a very great disservice to quote from this young boy--rather than have you listen to him for yourself--so I won't. I really want you to go online and then share "Zachary's thoughts on Abortion" with others. The woman who posted the video--perhaps his mother--adds a little note. "Zachary is incredible. We were all crying by the end of this..." That applies, I suspect, to all of us who watch Zachary. The video is only four minutes long, and it starts out with a hilarious observation that cracks up the adults and the viewer. From there, Zachary offers advice to live by in a way that utterly transfixes you. You're gripped by his quiet sincerity, Zachary's wholly-unexpected capacity for empathy, and the amazing manner in which he lays out what not only the aborted child loses, but also what those who were a party to his/her death have discarded. A couple of times the adults in the room audibly gasp at the depth of his insights. So did I. The one word I will mention from the video is "think." Zachary asks us to think…about whom it is we are victimizing…how it is we take the child's life…and the price we pay for dissolving the deepest bond in human culture. Take four minutes out of your busy schedule to watch "Zachary's Thoughts on Abortion!" And be sure to have a box of Kleenex nearby. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-qgcpxtudc. |
