Insanity In The US
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to strike down the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling which was an egregiously wrong-headed decision. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg had indicated such and expected it to be overturned. If that happens, it will clear the way for the banning or restricting of abortions in 26 states. While it is not yet official (the ruling is expected within a couple of weeks), a leaked copy of a draft Supreme Court opinion indicated the direction the court is heading.
Canadian director David Cronenburg, who was in Cannes presenting his latest film, called the potential overturn “completely insane.” Cronenburg noted:
“In Canada … we think everybody in the U.S. is completely insane…We think the U.S. has gone completely bananas and cannot believe that elected officials are saying the things that they’re saying there.”
Cronenburg must be talking about those Canadians who exist within the elite progressive wokeness that he inhabits. That would include people like Justin “Rainbow Socks” Trudeau who believes that Fidel Castro and Xi Jinping are great leaders. It certainly does not include most Canadians, a majority of whom believe that bans on abortion at different stages of pregnancy are necessary.
Abortion is the ending of a human life. Allowing abortion devalues all human life. Given the genre of films that Cronenburg is known for, it is not surprising that he has become inured to and approves of killing the most defenseless among us. That is true insanity.
Does insanity exist in America? Absolutely. Perhaps there is no more telling example than what happened in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday. An 18-year-old resident of Uvalde shot his grandmother and then killed 18 2nd through 4th graders and three teachers at a local school. Does Cronenburg, who believes in killing defenseless unborn children, believe that this is okay?
