Each January, we remember with sadness the day the Supreme Court handed down legislation that legalized abortion on demand in the historic cases known as Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton.

Since then almost 56 million human babies have been brutally killed, torn apart limb by limb with surgical tools. Today and every day in the United States, more than 3,000 babies will be deprived of their right to life as they are murdered in their mother’s womb.

My name is Danny Sprowles. On Dec. 28, I was awakened by my wife, who couldn’t breathe. I called 911 and gave my address and the call went to Taylor County Rescue Squad. They transferred me to Lexington then to LaRue County, who sent an ambulance.

My wife died. I live on the LaRue County line, nine-tenths of a mile over the line. So if you have an emergency, don’t depend on them to go to the county your house is in.

In the moment and the aftermath of the most horrific tragedy involving innocent children and their teachers last week in Connecticut, my heart is saddened, as I am sure our community members’ hearts are. The Adanta Group Community Mental Health Center offers our deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims and the entire community of Newtown, Conn.

On behalf of Christena and Kevin Jones, family and friends, we want to say how much we deeply appreciate all of the support, donations and generosity the Taylor County community showed in helping make the fundraising benefit a great success. It is great that we have been blessed with so many wonderful people that are so giving and caring during a time of need.

Thank you for all your continued prayers and kindness. Again, we express our deepest gratitude to all of you.
