Dear Editor:
I have often wondered how we in the U.S.A. have gotten to the place in our society that haggling over the cost of "baby parts" is some of the discourse that goes on, in America. I guess if over time something is minimized and marginalized, it becomes easier to reduce a living, breathing, fully functioning baby to just a blob of goo that can be eradicated at your own whim.
When I was a small boy I sometimes saw magazines that had pictures of the ovens that were used by the Nazis to exterminate millions of living, breathing, fully functioning human beings. I thought to myself, "How in the world could the people come to allow such savagery against other human beings?"
As I grew older I came to realize that when you demean, minimize and marginalize people or anything else, you start thinking that they don't deserve your consideration, as being worthwhile.
Back in the 1960s we as a country minimized, marginalized and demeaned God by trying to remove everything concerning God out of our schools, government establishments and public discourse. People of faith were called weak and their religion was just a crutch they used rather than standing for themselves. In the last 50 years, "how has that worked out for us"?
In the 1970s, SCOTUS minimized, marginalized and demeaned motherhood by coming up with the "brilliant" decision that allowed for "legal" abortions on demand. After all, it was just a blob of goo, a thing that women had growing in her body that they should have the right to eradicate, just like you would a wart or pimple. After years of this type of mindset, is it any wonder that we find our country, bartering over the price one has to pay for individual body parts of unborn babies?
If you listen to some of the "brightest" and most "intelligent" politicians, It is just a blob of goo, just the discarded "mess" of surgery, that it is not being "sold," but Planned Parenthood is just recouping their expenses for performing this service. What did you expect to happen when we minimize and marginalize unborn babies the way we have?
Currently, we are minimizing and marginalizing individuals that refuse, on religious grounds, to partake in an "unholy" wedding ceremony of same sex couples. We are calling them bigots, homophobes, and worse.
Can you see, where this is going?
