Good God. I almost vomited reading this.

Where, oh where, is the outrage? We are a quickly dying civilization.

Outrage? where was the outrage from conservatives that the GOP candidate for president was fully on board with Planned Parenthood and abortion?

Instead we were told that ‘purists’ were killing the party and that we had to moderate.

The Freepers who did just that know who they are. Where was the outrage against our own hopping fully on board with such a candidate and campaigning for him?

The videos from the earlier posting are even more horrifying. These people are monsters in the original meaning of the word. And our President has given the blessing of his god on this.

"We are a quickly dying civilization."

Instinctively, I'm inclined to agree with you, but I'm also reminded of a passage from CS Lewis's Screwtape Letters. At one point, Wormwood is, 'delirious wth joy,' because war has broken out on earth. Screwtape replies to Wormwood, '...I must warn you not to hope for too much from a war,' suggesting that the direst of times can turn people to God, and the starkest horrors can evoke tremendous acts of valor, compassion and self-sacrifice.

So yes, while this story speaks of great horrors, it also tells the story of the Live Action investigator, "who was 23 weeks pregnant – with a potentially viable baby," who marched right into this slaughterhouse in order to expose it. That is the kind of courage that saves nations and civilizations, so while we may be despondent about what she exposed, we should nevertheless take heart that she dared to expose it. Her contribution may be small in the big picture, but it may also be the first step in a journey of 1,000 miles.

Moreover, a woman with this kind of courage and conviction will be the mother of a lion.
