The abortion issue in a nutshell
In some states- not all- first degree murder carries the death penalty.
Treason can, too. Also military desertion.
And having Down Syndrome.
Few African-Americans- a group with a large percentage of church-goers, and a more pronounced than usual sense of group interest (for obvious reasons)- seem to have stopped and thought about the impact Roe. v. Wade is having on the numbers of African-Americans there are going to be in the future. White racists could not have designed a much more effective engine of genocide. Yet African-Americans continue to vote for pro-choice politicians almost exclusively.
Whether people are being selected out of existence because they bear the genes for Down Syndrome, or because they are poor, or because of the color of their skin, their very humanity is being denied. And when one considers that in our culture the chances of a fetus diagnosed with Down Syndrome ever being allowed to come into the world are practically nil, one gets a rare and chilling appreciation of just how deeply the culture of death has permeated the fabric of our society.
That this isn't a national scandal is a damning indictment of that society.
