Hope in the media

LOVED this article by Kevin O'Brien, Deputy editor of the Plain Dealer.  I usually don't comment on articles, but since so many comments were negative, I couldn't help myself ;-)  Take a minute to read the article - best yet in this whole scandal.  Ps.  Quick update from yesterday.  The house passed the DARK act. :-(  Time to start calling your senators before this disaster becomes law.

 Thank you so much for standing up for truth.  Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.  Not that long ago, it was legal to own another human being.  The Nuremberg Laws weren't that just either.  This is not a religious issue.  It's an issue of biology - when does a life begin - and universal ethics - do we have the right to take innocent life?  When we stop and realize exactly what is happening in every abortion, we will be sickened by the pure evil that exists in our humanity.  Our grandchildren will ask us if we knew babies were being killed and what we did to stop it.  Just like in Nazi Germany and in the Antebellum south, many were complicit with evil by sitting by silently or somehow trying to defend and "re-brand" the atrocities.  I know how history will write this one - take time to carefully think out your position before choosing a side. 

 "The development of a human being begins with fertilization, a process by which two highly specialized cells, the spermatozoon from the male and the oocyte from the female, unite to give rise to a new organism, the zygote."

[Langman, Jan. Medical Embryology. 3rd edition. Baltimore: Williams and Wilkins, 1975, p. 3]

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
