A handful of tiny dead bodies were recently found in a dumpster outside a Michigan abortion clinic. Last Friday they were laid to rest in the presence of an estimated 600 people who never knew these young ones, yet loved them enough to gather and pray for the eternal rest of their souls (and their parents, no doubt) and to give them a proper burial (for more pictures like this one of the beautiful Mass and burial visit Te Deum laudamus, h/t Driving out the Snakes). This is truly a moving testimony to the love and compassion that many Americans have for even the weakest members of our society. But this sad reality remains: that the brutality that caused the deaths of these poor children is protected as a national right by our government. This is why the law still matters. Unless and until we once again ensure the right to life of every human being here the “freedom” which we celebrate as a country tomorrow means very little, if anything at all.

“If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might in a moral point of view justify revolution; certainly would if such right were a vital one.” (Abraham Lincoln, March 4, 1861)
