Mourning the Deaths of Children

Dear Editor: 

    Little by little, we are being informed of all that happened in the tragic deaths of 19 children and two adults in Uvalde, Texas.
    We grieve the loss of life, especially of innocent life, and we do so with moral outrage.
   Each detail of this horrific event compounds our disbelief that we humans can be so depraved.
    Our whole country rightfully grieves the death of these children and the agony of their families.
    What about the unborn — the most innocent? Who protects them? Their deaths are equally barbaric. Where are those who mourn their deaths?
