Who Will Leave Their Porch Lights On For These?

The case of Casey Anthony, who was charged and subsequently found not guilty of murdering her 2 yr. old daughter, is all over the air ways. Aside from the national media coverage, people are expressing opinions on twitter and facebook, and in everyday conversation, and everyone has an opinion. The overwhelming reaction is one of outrage, disgust and horror, over the case of this innocent toddler's life being ended, on top of the fact, that now, no one is being held accountable.

From the first posts of outrage on facebook, I responded that the murder of millions of innocent children inside the womb, is just one small step to murdering them outside the womb. And here is the most duplicitous aspect of all. Had Casey Anthony walked into an abortion clinic when she was 9 months pregnant - she could have legally killed her child - in a most horrific fashion - and there would be no public outrage.

Now, Rush Limbaugh has echoed my own sentiments as well, stating, "If the child had died, what, two years earlier in the womb, this woman would be a star. She'd be a hero. And folks, I don't think that is a cliche to say. And I don't think it is a cheap attempt at humor." What is this duplicity in our society, which can express such outrage over a 2 yr. old child's death, while at the same time turning a blind eye to the millions of butchered and dismembered unborn children, who are aborted everyday, with the full backing of our legal system?

Abortion is the cause-celeb of the women's movement. It is celebrated as a 'woman's right' to be able to "choose" whether or not her child should live. Why is it that there can be such a huge public outcry ... as there should be ... over the maleficent death of a 2 yr. old child ... while people "choose"' to look the other way, when it comes to the millions of innocents lives, murdered off in abortion clinics across the country? Why is it, that people can say abortion is abhorrent ... while not wanting to interfere with a woman's right to "choose" abortion?

We have all seen the darling picture of Casey Anthony's precious little girl ... and it tugs at our hearts, and our moral outrage. Then, why are we so blind to the child in the womb? Why are these millions of precious children, not able to evoke the same sympathy, as Casey Anthony's daughter? These are the millions of murdered children, whose portraits we will never see, because no one considered them valuable enough to even look at.

A few years ago, a similar public outcry was raised over Susan Smith, the infamous mother who drove her two small children into a lake. People placed flowers and wreaths in memorium at the edge of the lake, for the two innocents who had met such a tragic end, at the hands of their own mother. Images of people sobbing over the little boys, understandably so, were seen everywhere on television and in magazines. But, at the same time, why is it, that there are no mourners at the sights of abortion clinics across our country, save for the handful of "extremists", as they are dubbed by pro-abortion advocates, who stand outside of these abortuaries and pray?

Who places flowers and wreaths outside the abortuaries across our nation, as the people did for Susan Smith's little boys? And, who will leave their porch lights on, in honor of the millions of little ones killed in abortuaries, across our nation, as we did for Casey Anthony's little girl?
