Death is sad.

On Thursday, September 11, our nation remembers the victims of the terror attacks of seven years ago in New York City, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C. . . . Interestingly, more Americans were killed by abortionists on September 11 (about 3,200) than were killed by Islamic terrorists (about 3,000). Assuming 3,000 deaths among the 50,000 people who worked at the World Trade Center, about one in seventeen was killed. One in three unborn babies is killed by abortion every day. On September 11, it would have been six times safer to be a worker in the Twin Towers than it was to be a baby in her mother’s womb. Why do Americans support the “War on Terror,” but ignore the plight of the unborn? Why did Americans write big checks to the Red Cross and the United Way, but ignore pro-life organizations which are struggling to raise funds? Could it be because the press made the victims of September 11 so painfully real?
