And the problem I continue to have with both sides in the “life’’ debate is that they are so equally inconsistent that one could almost get the impression they were playing politics.
If it is above our pay grade to opt to terminate life in the womb—and, for the record, I think it is—then it is also wrong to decide when inconveniently comatose spouses or brutal murderers should be “terminated.’’ Either life and death is up to us or it is not.
Melinda Henneberger writes for Newsweek and in particular it's MSNBC web version. In this article, "Where's the Morality", she hits the nail on the head in this whole debate about human life. I can't help but think she takes a page from Pope John Paul II. "Either life andd eath is up to us or it is not." There is no room in this culture to suggest that some lives (the brutal murder) are free game, but other lives (the innocent unborn) must be protected.
If we are to win in our fight against the Culture of Death, we must fight all atttempts to suggest that we are the ones with power over human life.
