"No! why are you asking such a silly question?"
"In school they said that some people used to make other people be their slave."
"Yes that happened, but it was a long time ago. It stopped over 100 years before I was born."
"Why did they do that?"
"Because people didn't love one another enough."
"When you were little did you send Jews to die in the hollow cast?"
"It's the holocaust, and no, I wasn't born then either. But it was when some people in Germany didn't show enough love towards people because they were Jewish."
"When you were little, would people kill babies before they were born?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so. That was called abortion and it used to be legal. I was older than you are when it stopped."
"Why did people do that?"
"Because they didn't love enough. It was hard to imagine when I was little, but it's wonderful that today abortion is looked upon as negatively as slavery or the holocaust."
"Did you help stop abortion? What did you do?"
We look forward and long for a day when abortion is universally decried as wrong. Tomorrow night you have a chance to work towards that future.
