Perpetuating the Culture of Death
Tragedy Spawns Hypocrisy

We are all united in mourning the lives lost in Uvalde, Texas. We are outraged again by a senseless act of a deranged individual who devastated families, friends, and the community.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle have vehemently denounced the atrocity. However, I find it a bit hypocritical for those on the left. While condemning the mass killings, they continue to promote the annihilation of babies in the womb. As expected, the liberals blame the gun. They still don't get it. The gun was a tool for mayhem, but someone had to point it and pull the trigger. And, when someone is that angry or mentally disturbed, nothing will stop them. Some other weapons would have been used if a gun wasn't available.
The demand for gun control by the left is not new. It happens every time there is a mass shooting. How about ending the hypocrisy and address suction machines, forceps, and the abortion pill. They, too, are tools of death and kill more innocent children than guns. Will that happen? No ... The left is blinded by the millions of dollars poured into their campaigns by the abortion lobby. Votes are more important than human lives, all lives. They have sold their souls to the devil.
Did they ever consider what St. Teresa of Calcutta said, "And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"
