Another sad but necessary reminder of the human propensity for cruelty and violence opened in Washington, D.C., last month.
On June 13, the Victims of Communism Museum joined the Victims of Communism Memorial on Capitol Hill in commemorating the more than 100 million lives lost to international communism and the 1.5 billion unfortunate souls still living under communist rule.
But even as the latter figure continues to add to the former, communism will never surpass abortionism as the world’s deadliest ideology. Nothing will.
Every abortion ends a life. This is not disputed. Any high school biology textbook will tell you that at conception a new human life is formed, distinct from both the mother and the father, with its own unique DNA, complete with a unique set of chromosomes.
The abortion debate is not about whether an unborn child is alive. It is about whether an unborn child can be legally and arbitrarily killed without any semblance of due process.
