Marianne Allen: Mourn all lives

All lives should be mourned. I agree with the writer of the Dec. 12 letter “Mourn abortion victims.”

Listening to the directors and staff of Planned Parenthood was sickening. They sounded so hypocritical.

I by no means condone what happened there or any violence against any clinic. A few crazy fanatics have caused much heartache.

In the words of Mother Teresa, “We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, of killings, of wars, of hatred. If a mother can kill her own child, what is left but for us to kill each other.” Very sad.
