“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.”
(Jeremiah 31, 15)

                                                     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, that’s 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, “That’s even more horrible! It would make more sense to let the baby be born and then, if they don’t like it, put it in a plastic bag and throw it in the river.” She shuddered and said, “The law shouldn’t allow babies to be murdered. We have to change the law!” I said, “I agree”.
