On Roe’s anniversary, remembering 50 million killed

By Kelly Boggs, Message Editor

Thirty-nine years ago the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in Roe v. Wade. The justices decided 7-2 that the practice of abortion in America was a right protected by the Constitution and thus legal throughout the United States. The date was Jan. 22, 1973.

The specific date of the Roe decision deserves to be remembered as a day of infamy along with other tragic events such as the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The Roe ruling also deserves to be compared to the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide. All are despicable atrocities.
