Anyone who thinks abortion is cut and dried should read this

'I'm showing my son mercy'
No matter how you feel about abortion, I think most compassionate people would feel for this couple's situation. It is so wrong that they had to go through so much just to do, what in my opinion, in this case, was absolutely the right thing to do. I am so sorry that they had to go through such a difficult decision made more difficult thanks to badly-considered legislation.

Why would anyone do this?

Girls' shooting deaths rattle rural Oklahoma town

Friends on a sleepover, the two girls, Taylor Dawn Paschal-Placker and Skyla Jade Whitaker ages 13 and 11 respectively, were killed by multiple gunshots on a rural road within minutes of leaving the house. They both lived in small towns (the one near where they were killed has only 1,000 people), and both were the only girls in their classes. Due to the area where they were killed, authorities believe the shooter is a local, but otherwise have few leads they've released to the public.

It's just senseless, which is why I sort of wonder if it isn't someone else about their age who got a hold of a family member's gun--someone who didn't quite understand their actions. On the other hand, I guess they could have come across something they shouldn't have seen, like a drug deal or something. It's a very sad and scary situation in an area with low violent crime where people leave their doors unlocked and treat people like the neighbours they are. People are rightfully afraid to let their kids out of their sight.

I hope they catch the shooter as soon as possible. If you have any information about this case, call: 1-800-522-8017. Thanks.
