"The public battle over whether she should live or die is a titan struggle between those who reference that higher truth, and those whose value of human life is determined by the calculus of temporal expediency."

Very well put.

Terri's Army ping! If you want on or off of this list, please let me know.

the abandonment of faith in God would render man susceptible to all forms of ideology, most of it dangerous and destructive.

We have witnessed this in a mere generation in our country. What a sad state of affairs it is in which we now live. Thanks for the ping sweetliberty.

Indeed ... the battle is about good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, the sanctity of live vs. the "quality" of life, and moral relativism.

It reminds me of this passage in my favorite book (the same one that defines good, evil, right and wrong):

21. And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22. Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
23. But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24. Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
25. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
26. And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
Luke 20:21-26
