What a horrible, horrible account. To think that there are people like this - in fact, to think that they are probably the majority of American citizens - is just devastating. You are right, God help us all.
I don't think there are a lot like this. Many don't ever recover emotionally. It seems IMO that there may be a plan of fighting "fire with fire" developing. Kind of like: "Yes we see the pictures. Yes it is a child but it's your body and you have that right and it's nothing to be ashamed of"
