Unthinkable?

What if the unthinkable happened?

What if there was a massive school shooting in an elementary school in your town? 

An attack that resulted in 20 children murdered in the halls and classrooms within minutes.  The news media splashes the report and the number of victims, and the nation groans in sorrow and sickness.  Your local community mourns the loss of precious lives.  

You whisper, "Not again.  O please, not again.  And not here, so close to home."

Reports of this type of attack are all too common.  And almost always there are the conversations back and forth, ranging from blaming guns or mental illness, and a call for some kind of solution or better security.

But... 

What if this shooting was different?

What if, in the day after the shooting, the investigation uncovers a very different nature in this attack.  The news flashes across the airwaves and headlines to the attention of Americans everywhere.  And what is the update?

That law enforcement has found, through written documentation and by verbal testimony that the shooter (apprehended alive) was not only sane, but that he was hired to commit the attack, by the parents of the children whom he shot to death!

What do you suppose would be the reaction of the townspeople in your community?  And in cities and villages across the Union?  

Horror?  Indignation?  Outrage?  

I think all of those.  I believe that it would rock the nation to the core, and they would want justice.

Do you think that the people in our society would simply demand that the shooter be charged and indicted for the violent crime of murder?  Or do you think they would want each parent who paid the shooter to face prosecution as well for their part in the bloody affair?

Or, maybe every upstanding citizen in the nation would say, 

“We cannot prosecute those parents.  We don’t know what they were going through, and they are equal victims alongside their murdered children.” 

God forbid! They would not  and should not be viewed or treated as if they were equal victims along with the children.  They were not be victims at all: they had sought out the slaughter of their son or daughter!  To call them “victims” and refuse to prosecute them would be a travesty of justice and further treachery toward the true victims—the 20 boys and girls they hired someone to shoot to death.

It is likely that you, the reader, sit in disbelief at the thought.  Such a circumstance and treacherous violence toward one's own flesh and blood could never happen. 

Could it?

Yet this type of "unthinkable" situation happens every day.

Two children, even younger and more vulnerable than elementary students are slain in our country every minute statistically.  That is 20 children every 10 minutes.  And every single one of their murders is done at the behest of the parents.  That murder is called ABORTION.

Parents who seek to kill their children are NOT victims. 

Abortion must be abolished.
