When are we going to get some sanity in this country. We suspend an 8th grader for wearing a NRA t-shirt and in the same week we allow children to buy the "morning after" pill. Isn't that a bit incongruous? We say that a 10 year old is old enough to end the life of her fetus (child if someone other than the woman kills the fetus) yet we kick out of school a much older child for wearing a shirt with which the powers to be at school disagree.
A shirt never ended someone's life but the morning after pill definitely does. Why can't we understand that once we make life so easy to end, that we too might have our lives ended quickly if we disagree with someone in power.
The Nazi regime did not start by killing healthy people, they started with the mentally ill. They were a burden on society.If they were not using valuable assets, the rest of the country would have more. So goes the same argument with abortion.
Those who believe in killing babies believe that most if not all of those terminated would have become a burden on society. They would have to be fed, educated and would eventually end up on welfare--so goes the argument. We think this might be true for a small minority of the cases, however, not for most. We are sure that there are some who will present "data" meant to show how out of touch we are, but that does not take away the argument that an abortion or the morning after pill does kill a human being. We cannot forget that fact.
For those who argue that "it is only a mass of cells and not a human" we would ask them why then have some courts ruled that the killing of a pregnant mother and her "child" makes the perpetrator a murderer of two? T'his incongruity must mean that there are some that still believe that a child's life begins at conception.
Abortion in any form is a terrible thing. It kills a human and psychically hurts the mother, who never recovers from the loss of her child. It is very negative and those who promote it should be ashamed of their stand.
Yet, it is legal and wearing a t-shirt with an NRA statement gets you suspended and facing a year in jail. Does that make any sense?

8TH GRADER SUSPENDED, ARRESTED OVER NRA T-SHIRT NOW FACES $500 FINE AND A YEAR IN JAIL
The West Virginia eighth-grader arrested and suspended over his National Rifle Association T-shirt with an image of a firearm is now facing a $500 fine and a year in jail.
A judge is allowing prosecutors to move forward with charging Jared Marcum, 14, with obstructing an officer, WOWK-TV reported.

Marcum got into an argument with a teacher over his “Protect Your Rights” NRA shirt at Logan Middle School in April. He was arrested for disturbing the education process and for obstructing an officer — the latter, according to court documents obtained by WOWK, because Marcum refused to stop talking, thus hindering the arresting officer from doing his job.
After Marcum was suspended from school, he returned to class wearing the exact same shirt, as did other students in a show of solidarity.
“Every aspect of this is just totally wrong,” Marcum’s father, Allen Lardieri told WOWK. ”He has no background of anything criminal, up until now and it just seems like nobody wants to admit they’re wrong.”
The family’s attorney, Ben White, said there no mention in the arresting officer’s petition of Marcum making any threats or acting violently.
“In my view of the facts, Jared didn’t do anything wrong,” White said.
White is seeking to have the charges against Marcum dismissed. The teen is due back in court on July 11.
