Obam praising the Roe vs Wade decision reminds me of the election. When Christianity gained significant influence in some region of the Roman Empire, a first practice to disappear was the exposure of infants. Obama voted three times in Illinois for infanticide. Christians who voted for him, and there were many, abandoned Christian faith as a basis that decision. One could logically conclude racial prejudice became the dominant factor.
I think it can be argued as simple self-indulgent self-interest, sloth and greed. A general disregard for the sanctity of existing life at the expense of ‘new’ life. It is a decay of the human spirit and eventual surrender to evil.
