Senior Reflection Post #4

Tomorrow is my last day of high school … ever. I know that the other seniors are thrilled but I can’t help but be sad that I will never see some of these students and teachers ever again! I can only imagine that the next week is going to be a complete sob fest because I cry easily as it is. It is going to be nearly impossible to say goodbye to the friends that I have known since grade school. I guess that I’ll just have to suck it up and snap out of it.

Article: “Abortion Provider Shot Dead In Church”

One of the nation’s few doctors that perform late-term abortions, George R. Tiller, was killed in the lobby of his church in Wichita, Kansas. The main suspect is Scott Roeder, a man who had been spotted leaving the scene of the crime by churchgoers. Tiller, 67, ran the Women's Health Care Services clinic, one of three in the nation to perform abortions after the point when a fetus is considered able to survive outside the womb. President Obama issued a statement late in the day saying he was "shocked and outraged" by the killing. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has ordered the U.S. Marshals Service "to offer protection to other appropriate people and facilities around the nation."
