Is sickening to read about<\/a>.\u00a0 Caution, details can be quite disturbing.\u00a0 That he was an abortion doctor who killed babies after they were born suggests to many pro-lifers that this is the logical conclusion of a philosophy of the human person that goes something like \u2018human beings are a festering malignant blight upon the world that have no intrinsic worth unless we say so and find them convenient.\u2019\u00a0 That much could be true.\u00a0 But before we go into saying \u2018abortion leads to psycho-killers\u2019, we should pause and remember we weren\u2019t too thrilled with \u2018celebacy leads to priests raping children.\u2019\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying there isn\u2019t anything\u00a0wrong with the foundational attitudes that allow for our abortion generation.\u00a0 There are.\u00a0 We basically have used the same philosophies that have been around for a hundred years that have led to various \u2018some humans deserve life more than others\u2019 programs in the name of modern, enlightened thinking.\u00a0 Our modern tolerance for redefining human life also can\u2019t help but bring with it a general callousness toward that same human life, or life in general.\u00a0 I think there are a million reasons why abortion is not healthy for a country\u2019s soul.\u00a0 I can think of a million more reasons why it could\u00a0explain\u00a0a great many emotional and psychological problems in our age, including the growing notion that life and everything else sucks, so who cares? <\/p>\n

And I\u2019m not saying a lifetime spent guided by this stellar philosophy didn\u2019t cause him to bolt and commit murder.\u00a0 But, we don\u2019t know that this was behind these murders\u2026yet.\u00a0 Why don\u2019t we wait and see if a lifetime immersed in the culture of unrestricted abortion rights just caused a man to snap, or if there were other reasons behind this horrifying story.\u00a0 Then we can use the facts alongside other arguments as to why, if not in this case (or if, as the case may be), the price we have paid in human dignity to allow for the right to abort babies is higher than even this terrible case could ever demonstrate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
