Memorial Day for the preborn
If you go to yahoo news there is a story on this.The event will take place on the 1st of october to honor the aborted children . I am confused about this act is it a publicity stunt to gain support for pro-life or truly people are requesting this memorial.
First let me say that on this subject I am pro-choice.Mainly because of my reluctance (especially as a woman)to let the government involve itself in such a private matter. As far as this display being a publicity stunt,it may very well be.Yet,as inconceivable as it may seem,it could simply attest to the strength and passions of these individuals and organizations personal religious beliefs concerning the issue of abortion. Its value could be very symbolic in nature for them, much as the recent burial of racist slurs was to the NAACP.This must be first considered before assuming that it was purely for publicity purposes.
