Helping the Unborn
There was an interesting article written by Dave Gymburch that appeared in the Rome [NY] Daily Sentinel to honor and remember the Black Heritage Month. He pointed out the homes and mentioned the people that had hidden the runaway slaves coming up from the South.
I can imagine Rome, NY in the year 3000. The USA itself will probably be a remnant of a once great country that is reduced to a small nation like the once famous Roman, Spanish, French, British, Turkish and Austrian empires that fell due to moral decay and stagnation. Similar to the world tourists that now visit the ruins of the Roman Forum and Coliseum or the now extinct concentration camps of Germany, Central New York will have people coming from all over the globe to see the now shut down abortion mills (made into monuments in homage of the dead babies) where the American crime organization called Planned Parenthood had executed and exterminated millions of unborn New Yorkers by cutting them to pieces, ripping them apart and burning them alive in their mothers wombs. The future tourists will be shocked to know that such horrible things could have been done to weak and innocent human beings in those past decades.
In Rome, the future tourists from Cambodia, Peru, Chile, China, Nigeria, India, etc would visit the preserved historical homes of Bea Wall, John Arena, Roger Bartholomew, John Martoccia, Joe Bosco and many other courageous Roman heroes who had heroically defended the life of the unborn in an area where great indifference and coldness on the part of many towards the unborn reigned. The visitors from other nations will frown upon the cowardice of the local newspapers, radios, TV channels who, in those dramatic times, simply closed their eyes and ignored the question of human life and did absolutely nothing in its favor. They would be even more shocked and dismayed to know that historically, the local clergy of all the represented Faiths of the region and the politicians of all levels, did not as much as lift a finger to attempt to save the lives of the unborn. History will judge us all harshly and give a strict verdict as to our role for not coming to the defense of the least of our brothers in the 20th and 21st centuries.
