Reader's View: Lives shouldn't be seen as disposable

Denfeld’s 1947 boys basketball team is the only Denfeld basketball team to win a state title. The team’s head coach was Lloyd Holm. Team members were Rudy Monson, Larry Tessier, Paul Nace, Kenneth Sunnarborg, Eugene Norlander, Howard Tucker, Tony Skull, Jerry Walczak, Bruce Budge, Keith Stolen and student manager Bob Scott.

Around two years ago I was asked who I voted for in the presidential election. I responded that I voted against Hillary Clinton. Then I was asked why. I responded that when I heard she and President Barack Obama had indicated they were for late-term abortion, that was enough for me to vote against her. I was then told you can't make up stuff like that. I said I didn't make it up; Clinton said in a debate she supported late-term abortion.

In New York, there was cheering upon passage of a late-term abortion law that Clinton and President Obama were for.

In June, MSNBC's Donny Deutsch suggested that anyone who isn't OK with our borders being invaded are Nazis. I hate words like that thrown around, but it is an interesting word. There have been more than 50 million babies murdered in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade. Based on that number, I guess calling someone "Nazi" really doesn't mean anything because the amount of people killed by genocide by the Germans was much less than the babies killed in the United States. Maybe when people in other countries want to insult their fellow countrymen or women they call them Americans.

I want you to pause to think about what people do to protect animals or how people rally to eliminate the death penalty and then vote for leaders who believe it is OK to kill a fully formed child. What's next? Killing those with handicaps, those who are elderly, or anyone else these leaders believe are OK to kill?

It truly makes me wonder what happened to this country that the lives of children have became so disposable.
