Culture of Death

      Comments Off on Culture of Death

Abortion has raised its ugly head again across America. One of the most despicable acts by a human being, the killing of the most vulnerable among us, is being praised and cheered in some state legislatures.  Legal barriers to late term abortions are being wiped out in some states.

The moral hypocrisy of the Democrats is stunning.  The Party that pretends to stand for the dignity of all human beings is embracing a culture of death.  For many years they have supported Planned Parenthood’s (PP) genocide against unborn children, particularly minority children.  Tens of millions of children have been killed by PP.  Almost 1/3 of all abortions done by PP are performed to kill minority children.  The Nazis would be proud.  Of course, this is all part of following the Democrats’ 1st commandment.

The moral degeneracy of the left is appalling.  And, in some places, when they are passing these despicable laws that allow the killing of unborn children, they do so to thunderous applause.  Is this how the moral fiber of a country is extinguished?  Is this how Nazi Germany arose?

Applause was the case in NY State.  Governor Cuomo led a successful effort to legalize abortion at any stage of pregnancy including while a mother may be in labor.  The so-called Reproductive Health Act goes beyond Roe v. Wade. It allows unborn babies to be killed even where the U.S. Supreme Court has said abortions may be restricted. Late-term abortions, which were illegal in New York, are permitted and non-doctors could perform them.  There was whooping and cheering when the legislation passed.  There was a chamber full of applause when the legislation was signed.

The Governor celebrated that new law by lighting state sites pink in honor of allowing the killing of fully-formed infants. Perhaps black would have been a more appropriate color.  Over in Rhode Island, Governor Gina Raimondo (D-RI) has already signaled that she wishes to engage in this culture of death by supporting a similar law.

The politicians hid behind the usual platitudes about protecting women’s rights.  In fact, the NY law defines abortion as a “fundamental right.”  (“Every individual who becomes pregnant has the fundamental right to choose to carry the pregnancy to term, to give birth to a child, or to have an abortion, pursuant to this article”).

So the Democrats are now defining the killing of children as a fundamental right of the mother.  Children, whether unborn or born, are dependent on their parents for their survival for a long time.  What will happen next?  Will the Democrats decide to say that killing or allowing a child to die after birth is okay?

Well, as it turns out, infanticide is just what a Virginia law would have allowed.  Under Virginia’s law a woman could abort her child even if the child were mere seconds from coming out alive and healthy.  The so-called moderate Democratic governor of Virginia, who has other problems,  endorsed the notion that a woman should be able to let her infant, born alive, die on the table if she decided afterwards that she did not want the baby.  Democrats say that a wall is immoral. Is letting a baby die on the table now “progressive and sanctioned?”

This is pure evil.  Yet this is the position of the modern Democratic Party.   This is the position of the left.  This is insanity.  How can a country thrive when it dehumanizes the most vulnerable among us?
