Today the world is celebrating "Universal Children's Day". Here is a excerpt from Wikipedia explaining the purpose this celebration. As a Christian it causes me to wonder if those doctors who daily perform the atrocities of abortion are ceasing from their evil deeds for this one day? Why is the killing of children within the womb not included in the list of violence and abuse we see listed in this article? It amazes me that we as a culture can not see this as we continue to allow millions of lives to be taken worldwide in the name of "women's rights". Please forgive us Lord.

"Universal Children's Day is not simply a day to celebrate children for who they are, but to bring awareness to children around the globe that have succumbed to violence in forms of abuse, exploitation and discrimination. Children are used as labourers in some countries, immersed in armed conflict, living on the streets, suffering by differences be it religion, minority issues, or disabilities.[7] Children feeling the effects of war can be displaced because of the armed conflict and/or suffer physical and psychological trauma.[8] The following violations are described in the term "children and armed conflict": recruitment and child soldiers, killing/maiming of children, abduction of children, attacks on schools/hospitals and not allowing humanitarian access to children.[8] Currently there are about 153 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 who are forced into child labour.[9]The International Labour Organization in 1999 adopted the Prohibition and Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour including slavery, child prostitution and child pornography.[9]"
