All day, I thought about how to address the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. How do you adequately commemorate 55 million murdered children in a Facebook status or a blog post? For the crime cannot -- must not -- be observed only in silent prayer, lest it be buried under the euphemisms of this generation, and the forgetfulness of all generations to come. Those children, who now number more than all those killed in all the world by the reign of Adolf Hitler, must not be deprived of the prayers and memoriams owed them by the nation who deprived them of nearly their entire lives. To forget them would be an even greater injustice than killing them in the first place. Some commemoration, however small, is demanded, before the silent prayers may begin.
