All culture arises out of religion. When religious faith decays, culture must decline, though often seeming to flourish for a space of time after the religion which has nourished it has fallen into disbelief... no cultured person should remain indifferent to the erosion of apprehension of the transcendent.'

The Fine Line Between Abortionists and Serial Killers

Apparently, there IS a line that one can cross with regards to performing abortions--inducing labor and then murdering newborn infants is apparently beyond the pale for our society.

I find it very interesting that so many people are outraged by this doctor (who, if he had murdered the unborn within the wombs of their mothers, would not have been considered a murderer), but I also find the quiet surrounding the story a bit disconcerting.

It would be nice to see NARAL Pro-Choice America, or Planned Parenthood come right out and condemn this guy's actions. It would seem that he violated even their ethics and standards. It would be nice to see the voices of the pro-choice movement come forward and say that this behavior is not acceptable. Yet, they have been quite quiet, leaving one to assume that they are not nearly as troubled about this as most Americans are.

Interesting that NARAL took time out to accuse Sarah Palin of being 'out of touch with Americans’ values and priorities' the other day, yet cannot be bothered to even mention Kermit Gosnell on their site.
