"The reason I am crying is because I'm so very frustrated
I feel as though the nobility and kindness of man is being trampled"
On the heels of half the nation going "yeay a black is the president" I think that their celebration is unfounded for humanity has not progressed since the days of slavery. We've changed how the underlying evil expresses itself, but it still exists.
What do slavery, the holocaust, and abortion all have in common?
They were all caused by people who denied the humanity of another group of people. In the early 1800's it was okay to own slaves because blacks weren't thought of as people. In the 1930's and 40's people were sterilized in the US and slain in Germany because they didn't fit the image of the ideal human. Nowadays, people in the womb are denied their humanity, so they are slain without cause.
What were two of Obama's first executive orders? First he closed Gitmo because he thought that the rights of terrorists were being abused. Then he started provided funding for abortion groups around the world. In other words, if you are caught trying to kill a person you have more rights than an innocent person who's done absolutely nothing wrong.
So much for justice. So much for progress. So much for change.
Here's the real kicker:
The current speaker of the house just defended funding abortions because little babies are bad for the economy.
Isn't that why the south defended slavery, wasn't it good for their economy to keep all those people in chains? Isn't that why eugenics was practiced in the states? Wasn't it good for the economy if "unfit" people were forcefully kept from breeding ever again so their wouldn't be another generation dragging us down. Isn't that why Germany started rounding up Jews? Wasn't it good for their economy so the people rallied to round them up and chucked them into the nearest incinerator?
The cycle of evil continues...
Maybe we would have been better off with another Hilter because with Hitler you had an evil that people could rally around, instead of being an evil that people rally for. Regardless, we must try to break the cycle of finding a new group to deny the humanity of when it falls out of fashion to keep assaulting the rights, liberties, and peoples of the old group.
Anyways I'm reminded of a story. One day, this priest who was to become a saint was doing confessions. He was in the confessional for hours and needed to take a short break... the lines were still pretty long. However when he looked upon the lines, he saw something that made him turn around and go back into the booth to keep doing confessions.
He had a vision. He saw demons hovering over the shoulders of people in line, whispering in their ears and trying to keep them from having good confessions. As a servant of God and Jesus, he put the needs of the people who needed forgiveness first despite his own tiredness.
That makes me think: is there something hovering outside of an abortion clinic whispering in the ears of women and the people accompanying them "do it, do it, do it"?

That is a very good question that I'm going to separate into two responses. To be honest I think these are the areas where moral grayness starts creeping in. For rape, you can say that since the woman didn't freely agree to having sex, she shouldn't be forced to deal with the consequences and be allowed to have an abortion. The response to this is that while it is true the woman didn't decide to be raped, it isn't the child's fault. The person to blame is the rapist and only he should face punishment and that the woman has an obligation to carry the child to term simply because the child is innocent of any crimes. In other words, if there is any moral obligations in our society to help those in need, since the child is innocent and has a need the woman does have a moral obligation to carry the child. This is a question of individual liberty (since the woman had none in the first place) vs morality. This also needs to be finely handled because it has consequences. Let's say you okay abortion in the case of rape. Well, what is stopping a rich person from saying "I did not create the poor, I didn't have all those kids in public schools, I did not force people to be needy, why should I have the burden of supporting them?" In that case I would agree he has a point. If the rich person did not create the poor and the needy, why should he be responsible for them? For incest if it was rape, then it goes back to the answer above. If it was not rape, then I think it would be too dangerous from a moral perspective to allow an abortion and here's why: if we can say if such and such people breeding is too much of a burden on society, then we can say another group of people breeding is too much a burden on society. Someone could say that since poor people are too much of a burden or that blacks or hispanics are too much of a burden because they have higher rates of poverty and too many of them are in prison we should keep them from breeding. Or someone could say white people do too much damage to the environment and we should keep them from breeding. Or if you had a country like Japan where the birth rate is too low, you could have people saying well, if group X, Y, or Z isn't producing enough children, then we should keep them from breeding at all because they are taking up the resources that could be devoted to more productive groups. In other words, we'd be opening the door again to what the nazis and progressives did in the early part of the last century. It happened once, that was enough. That's one pandora's box that should stay closed.

A life is a life! No matter how he/she is created. There are so many people out there that can not create life and would love to have a child. Adoption is a wonderful option. Some of my friends have adopted babies. The adoption did wonders for the couple and the baby. Beautiful image Winter claw!

Closing of Guantanamo Bay detention camp: The United States is a nation of laws. Everything about the way the Guantanamo prison has been handled is a violation of the Constitution of the United States. The very fabric of the judicial law and International laws affecting a conduct of enemy combatants has been violated by the management and proceedings of the camp. The United States has always held itself up as an example for the rest of the world in this very key area. Guantanamo Bay is a disaster and a disgrace for the United States. The Catholic Church only designates someone a saint many years after they are dead. It is amusing how family planning and abortion get tied together. Based on the current rules of that law any group that even suggested the use of birth control was not legal to recieve financial assistance. Why not consider how many babies die of starvation in the dirt of where they where born because there is no one that can or are able to care for them. There is indeed a tragedy. The thing is its not so neat as everyone would like it to be. Its just not that neat and neither are your examples.
