How we respect life is the over-riding moral issue

The question of "life" is The Question of the 20th century. Race and poverty are dimensions of the life question, but discussions about abortion have brought the issue into focus in a much sharper way. How we will respect and understand the nature of life itself is the over-riding moral issue, not of the Black race, but of the human race.

It is that question, the question of our attitude, our value system, and our mind-set with regard to the nature and worth of life itself that is the central question confronting mankind. Failure to answer that question affirmatively may leave us with a hell right here on earth.

"…What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person, and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be taken so casually?”

Jackson in 1977

I guess his question has been answered. We have a lawless banana republic.

Its a good thing that the Reverend Jackson is such a moral man. Why, if he favored abortion; his own illegitimate son might never have been born.

I wonder if he ever asked that question to his shack-up mistress?

We have a lawless banana republic deteriorating dictatorship not because, as Jackson put it, our disrespect for life, but our disrespect for life’s author

Eve taken over control of creation and he’ll has broken loose

Abortion is a mere symptom

Can’t hate kids, marriage, family, dignity of the procreative act and at the same time have a civilized society.

That’s just the truth

And if Jackson had given proper deference to that, to the creator in his address he’d have had to stand up to it. Instead a mealy mouthed respect life reference is as morally relative as anything else

Lukewarmness. Scripture says God actually hates that

[stanne]

We’ve taken control of creation, human reproduction

[MeshugeMikey]

Indeed... I'd say that his words...were those of expediency... rather than anything else

[MeshugeMikey]

amen and AMEN!!
