Welcome to the Daily Article Podcast. Today is Monday, April the 17th, 2023. I'm Chris Elkins with the Denison

Forum, narrating today's article written by Dr. Jim Denison. Four people were killed and dozens more

were injured at a mass shooting during a Sweet 16 birthday party Saturday night in Alabama. This makes

the 163rd mass shooting so far in 2023. Today is the 107th day of the year. When we cannot deal with

the pain of such tragedy, we objectify it. Quote, unquote, another shooting, we say as we grimace and shake our heads.

But the families of the four people who were murdered will never say that of a mass shooting again as long as they live.

Many do the same with abortion.

As of this writing, nearly 13 million babies have lost their

lives to abortion so far this year. This number is equivalent to the populations of West Virginia,

Hawaii, New Hampshire, Maine, Montana, Rhode Island, Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska,

Vermont, and Wyoming combined.

In the U.S., nearly 20% of all pregnancies end in abortion.

Those who defend such tragedies must shift their focus from the dead child to the issue of reproductive freedom, democracy, partisan politics, and so on.

Case in point.

Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance at a pro-abortion rally in Los Angeles on Saturday.

In her speech, she warned against, and I quote,

those who would dare to attack fundamental rights and, by extension,

attack our democracy and urge those in attendance to stand up and fight for abortion, end quote.

I want us to do the opposite today. I'm writing to stand up and fight for the victims of abortion.

A woman in attendance at the L.A. rally held up a sign that read,

Roe wasn't the beginning of abortions,

Roe was the end of women dying from abortions.
