Children Quotes

I marvel with distress that in 2015 we are fighting the vaccination wars.

I sincerely hope this madness burns itself out before a lot more people get hurt.

For many people the war begins at home: Each year about three million children in the United States are reported as victims of child abuse and neglect. One million of these cases are serious and credible enough to force local child protective services or the courts to take action.12 In other words, for every soldier who serves in a war zone abroad, there are ten children who are endangered in their own homes. This is particularly tragic, since it is very difficult for growing children to recover when the source of terror and pain is not enemy combatants but their own caretakers.

And this is the greatest destroyer of peace today- abortion which brings people to such blindness.
