Culture of Death

January 31, 2019

We used to wonder how the German people of the 1940s could for the most part stand silently by while six million Jews were systematically murdered by the government. I wonder no more. Since 1973 in the United States, over ten times that many babies have been aborted with governmental blessing. They were first dehumanized as blobs of tissue, declared inconvenient and even harmful to their mother’s health, and finally, all pretension has been gleefully stripped from this self-induced genocide as New York proudly carries the torch for our culture of death.

What surprises me however, is the silence of the Black community in the face of all this. Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, was an avowed racist and eugenicist who encouraged the placing of their facilities in Black neighborhoods so as to weed out those she considered a pestilence upon society. Even today, the majority of their facilities cater to the minorities of our land. How is it that there is no outcry by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or even Corey Booker or Oprah? The systematic singling out for death of Black babies should be at the forefront of today’s Civil Rights movement. The silence is deafening.

I must confess that I have been too slow in doing anything significant in the Right to Life movement. I’m not a fighter by nature, so like the Germans in the ‘40s, I’ve willfully and negligently closed my eyes to the magnitude of the issue. Until now. Perhaps our own Dr. Mengele, otherwise known as Andrew Cuomo, has overplayed his hand. If his signing into law this bill to allow abortion even during delivery of a viable baby finally awakens people to the barbarity into which we are descending, he may even merit our thanks. If so, I thank him tonight, but even more thank God for opening my eyes and heart to the plight of these most vulnerable of our citizens.
