Seriously?<\/p>\n

Yes. This is what we have come to.<\/p>\n

Details:\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The same orange-clad abortion rights supporters\u00a0who sent children to #StandWithWendy<\/a>\u00a0in Texas today holding signs like \u201cStay out of my mommy\u2019s vagina\u201d didn\u2019t limit themselves to strictly scientific arguments for unrestricted access to abortion. Groups of protesters also countered pro-life groups\u2019 prayers with chants of \u201cHail Satan.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let\u2019s go to the videotape.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/youtu.be\/r2Fx3vJNY6E<\/a>\n

UPDATE: The Anchoress<\/a><\/strong> has some thoughts:<\/p>\n

You get a gang of already pumped up, hysterical<\/strong>\u00a0(and in some cases terribly, terribly young) idolators fully indoctrinated to the creed and the church of the Idol-of-I, and start singing \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d you\u2019re striking at a jugular vein of the idol and the hysterics \u2014 having nothing to fall back on but the empty creed of self-worship, which contains no grace at all \u2014 have no depth in their recourse. All they have left in their bag of tricks is shock and chaos\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026When the Christians began to sing \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0they had to know it would foment a reaction. The hymn strikes a chord of mystic understanding. It is listed as an \u201cAmerican Folk Melody\u201d but that melody is African \u2014 probably anciently African (sometimes I wonder if it was not the melody hummed by the Hebrew slaves, the soundtrack to the exodus) \u2014 and it seems to touch a sinew of\u00a0recall and reclamation<\/em>\u00a0in all of us, in the same way, perhaps, that our cells can hold memory. Think of the first time you ever heard it;\u00a0you already knew it<\/em>. It is something primal, earthy and familiar to us: it is life, strain, yearning. The cross.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read it all<\/a><\/strong> and then check out at the end of her post a truly kick-ass version of that deathless hymn.<\/p>\n
