Thirty-seven Years Of Arrogance and Audacity

For
thirty-seven years now we have lived with the effects of the Supreme Court
decision known as Roe v Wade. During
that time over fifty-two million babies have been legally aborted. This is undoubtedly the most heinous example
of man-made law trumping natural law that we have ever seen. Far too many people display a discomfort at
discussing natural law because of an indoctrinated revulsion for any religious
influence on man-made laws.
One’s
eyes could glaze over during an in-depth study of how man has tried to explain,
discount, ignore, defend, or understand the meaning of natural law. Believe me – it’s been done to death! Here is an inescapable fact, however. Natural law is at the foundation of all
morals and ethics in human behavior and interaction. The other fact is that natural law is not some Silly Putty™
substance that can be stretched and molded to fit whatever is convenient for
the evil that lurks in men’s souls. It
is very straightforward and needs very little human interpretation.
Legalizing
the destruction of innocent human life is not in the lexicon of morality or
ethics, but by golly the arrogance that is man’s evil nature has surely done
it, huh? Arrogance and audacity are two
A-words that progressives like to aim at conservative Christians like deadly poison
arrows designed to shut them up. Judgment
is the quiver that holds them.
Ignorance is the bow that shoots them.
Political correctness is the poison that coats their tips. Death of innocents is the collateral damage
of this immoral attack.
Is
it arrogant or audacious to point out that humans do not have the moral
authority to deliberately destroy a human life just because it hasn’t been born
yet? Forget trying to cloak this issue
in the transparent cloth of choice or privacy.
It is what it is – murder in the eyes of natural law.
I
say that ignorance is at play here because there are examples of previously
“pro-choice” individuals who have changed their minds after viewing the reality
of abortion through the use of modern technology, or because medical personnel
performing the abortion slipped up and referred to the “lump of tissue” as a
baby. (Yes, don’t laugh – just do the
research.) Ignorance is the only thing
that could allow such rationalizations of the real truth.
Judgment,
as long as it is dressed in long, black, man-made robes, wins out over morality
and ethics every time religion is painted as a false witness. Who could find favor with a faith in human
spirit when man’s superior secular judgment holds all the cards? One is not allowed to interject anything
smacking of religious justice to prove a legal point – not in the court of
political correctness.
So
we continue to do the dance after thirty-seven years. Politicians and pundits alike, dance around the issue of
abortion, shooting and taking their arrows, without the benefit of morals and
ethics to play the real music. Abortion
is a crime against humanity, against creation, against evolution, and against
good. Evil continues to call the shots
as long as man’s arrogance and audacity rules over truth.
Nothing
in the world is more brutal, unjust, or physically and emotionally repulsive as
abortion. Not war, not vicious crime,
not terrorism. Nothing. Yet we still cannot construct and enforce a
simple man-made law against it. We
cannot find enough judges, lawmakers or educators willing to stand up for the
unvarnished truth that would put an end to the legality of this barbarity. Until we do, no other laws man decides to
write will matter. No other freedoms
will be worth defending. This country
and its citizens will not be worth saving.
Until
we do, we are all just waiting for man’s arrogance and audacity to measure our
own worth and find it lacking.
If
you have never watched The Silent Scream Video perhaps now would be a good time. This is just one, produced some time ago
now, but there are others if you have the stomach to do the investigating. It is obvious to me after the latest
brouhaha over the “language” in the proposed healthcare legislation that most
people have no idea they are already funding abortions, but no matter what the
politicians tell you, everyone funds them in one way or another. As long as government is involved in funding
any kind of healthcare, you are funding abortion. As long as the public school system exists, you are also funding
the ignorance that has allowed the most bloody thirty-seven years in this
nation’s history to slip under the radar of truth.
