How do we so glibly tolerate this culture of death?

The cause of much of the hysteria and rowdy demonstration over Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court is a fear of the overthrow of Roe v. Wade, which guarantees a woman the “right” to kill her unborn child for whatever reason she chooses.

Abortion is the demolishing and excavation of a living, growing human being from its home in the human womb.

What are being excavated are not kidney stones, or a cancerous tumor, or impacted feces. What are being destroyed and removed are tiny developing human hands, feet, head and budding organs. These are not merely “the products of conception” or “cell blobs.”

These are components comprising you and me at the earliest stage of our life. Yes, you and me, those of us who were not chosen to be demolished and excavated. Any claim that the beginning of you and your life was not at the point of conception is an oxymoron.

Is there a greater crime against humanity — and, if you believe in a creator God, a greater sin against that God — than destroying a human life in its utterly defenseless state?

Today’s legalized abortion industry and implementation are history’s greatest genocide and a holocaust that eclipses Hitler’s version.

Those of us who tolerate, aid, abet and support abortion are akin to the death camp commandant who waved his hand to the right or left to blandly signify who would live and who would die. It is said that nothing profits evil more than for good men to do nothing,” but those who do nothing are not in fact “good.”

Isn’t it amazing how the so-called “progressives” bring such fervor, energy and dedication to the maliciously evil cause of destroying God’s creation and our progeny in the name of “civil rights”?

I agonize at the glib permissiveness of so many of us in looking away from, tolerating and promoting this death culture.

The State publishes a cross section of the letters we receive from South Carolinians in order to provide a forum for our community and also to allow our community to get a good look at itself, for good or bad. The letters represent the views of the letter writers, not necessarily of The State.
