>> The “pro-choice” crowd frames disability and end-of-life issues around the presumption that someone must decide to kill the individual. For them, it’s just a matter of who should make that decision. They refuse to acknowledge the fact that no one has the right to make that decision.

Good observation, BykrBayb. C.S. Lewis had their number. Perelandra, the second work in his space trilogy, is all about the temptation of Eve -- i.e., all temptation by evil. It employs virtually every argument that evil can muster.

If I may put it simply, in God's good creation, there is no pure evil; only a warping or bending of the good. Leftists do that by seizing on some tiny good at the expense of greater good. They fixate on a tree and intentionally ignore the forest. Their thinking is all about procedure but they shut their eyes to principle. Their moral point may be correct at a micro level, and that may satisfy the simple-minded, but you have to see if the moral law is affronted in a larger sense.

Thereby the right-to-die gang can stand up close and dither about due process. The world stands back a few feet and sees America torture an innocent woman to death.

You know how I adore politicians and other odious world savers. I remember smiling at a quote from an astronaut on the moon, back when:

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'" --Edgar Mitchell.

Right-to-die activists should be dragged to the bedside of the woman they are killing and and told to "Look at that, you son of a bitch."

Almost Good

The most potent lies may be those cloaked in and wrapped around a powerful truth. The closer to Truth a lie may be, the greater its power to deceive.
