In Ramah is heard the sound
of moaning, of bitter weeping!
Rachel mourns her children, she refuses to be consoled because
her children are no more.

Kateri, felis contra occisum infantium
Kateri told me a story about some woman she heard of who took
a newborn kitten, put it in a plastic bag and threw it in the
creek to drown. I told her that that was a cruel thing to do.
She asked me if humans are allowed to do this to human babies.
I told her, No, thats against the law, but the law
does allow humans to cut their babies up into pieces before they
are born and then put their corpses into the sewer. Kateri
said, Thats even more horrible! It would make more
sense to let the baby be born and then, if they dont like
it, put it in a plastic bag and throw it in the river.
She shuddered and said, The law shouldnt allow babies
to be murdered. We have to change the law! I said, I
agree.
