"Palm" Sunday...

A day of "palms" all too often repeated. In the US alone, greater than 55,000,000 lives have been sacrificed to "CHOICE" since 1973.

Plausible Deniability

Each defeat of Ultrasound Bills in various states (many have succeeded) makes me wonder if opponents are simply retaining their plausible deniability...as if that wll help them come judgement day!

"Choice" is an Onerous Term

"Onerous" - certainly burdensome for those who find themselves in an unplanned pregnancy. Given the current mainstream media's approach to "choice", oppression - in some cases, coercion - has not become uncommon. Whether it is parents of the mother or "fathers" of the child or even "the state" such as in China, it has become too easy to dismiss life.    

No Intrinsic Value = Equality

There are those that claim that the right to life is a fallacy given that humans have no greater value than any other living creature. Therefore, the beliefs of others allowing for the killing of unborn, is "no big deal." So, we have to ask, "Is there anyone, any person, in our lives that we consider as having no value?"  If someone were to take the life of someone we consider as valuable in your own life, do we have a foundation to charge that killer with the murder of our loved one? If none of us have any value, that fundamental foundation dissipates. The logical conclusion would be that murder itself need not be illegal. Does anyone really believe that? 

I, for one, do not concur. All life has intrinsic value.

Additional comment - isn't it interesting that in a society based on the concept that "all men are created equal", we seem to constantly try to show (in our actions and in our words) how we are better than the next person? We do it when boasting. We do it when driving - we always seem to have to be in front of the guy ahead of us. Of course, we are always behind the next guy. Just a thought.

So too, it is that we MUST be able to control all aspects of our livelihood to the extent that anything - anything - that interferes may be pushed aside, including the life of another human being. It is a slippery slope to anarchy when we have made such "choices."
