Some interesting data. From Sojourners, August 2006.
Estimated number of children currently serving life-without-parole sentences.*
In the United States; 2,225 In the rest of the world; 12
*The practice is forbidden by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which has been ratified by every country in the world…except for the United States and Somalia.
Well, gosh…if Somalia thinks it’s OK, then it must be!
I wonder how many of the parties who have signed the statement on those rights allow the murder of a fetus. Are you aware that America allows the murder of the young (Latin word- fetus) and calls it "choice"?
