For my wife this process took only a few short years. Not all mothers are saints, of course. But on Mothers Day we celebrate devoted mothers and honor the hard choices devoted motherhood requires. Our mothers give us the best years of their lives, knowing we will one day leave them to go on with our own lives. For all this our mothers deserve far more than a single day of gifts and gratitude.
Every mother deserves our profound respect for giving life to the next generation.
She also deserves the chance to raise her children in a culture that values life more than liberty or mere license. Modern America refuses to count the cost of the daily killing of 4,000 children in the womb. We tolerate excessive violence, sexuality and vulgarity in the arts, and we sneer at those who object. We nod approvingly of a president who commits adultery in the Oval Office. Notwithstanding Mr. Davis' comments to the contrary, it is imperative that we recognize the damage done by so many abortions being performed in this country.
