Hopefully this will one day be true...
in the decades after legalized abortion ended--as we began to come to terms with the holocaust we had been blind to for so long--the realization that a unique human life begins at the moment of conception began to seep into all parts of society. A number of memorials to the unborn began to crop up around the country. The main one, at the old headquarters of Planed Parenthood in Washington D.C., comments on the fact that about as many little ones were killed everyday as there were people who died in the 9/11 attacks. In a central area It displays 365 unique sculptures of little ones, each with a scalpel crossing their bodies, and next to one such sculpture another of the twin towers falling. In the area around this-reflecting these icons over a hundred times-there are mirrors, one for each of the years that abortion was legal and a few more to memorialize the little ones killed by illegal abortions. Looking in on this are statues of women in poses of mourning, symbolizing the mothers who lost children to abortion.
