The Revenge of Conscience

Something noteworthy is happening in the mainstream media. First, The Los Angeles Times ran a story that, in all its horrible brutality, attempted to defend a couple's decision to kill selected fetuses in the woman's womb by means of what is euphemistically called "selective reduction." The article was chilling in its cold honesty and grotesque morality.

Then The New York Times runs a pair of articles that dealt honestly with the fact that 90 percent of fetuses with Down syndrome are being aborted.

Then The Washington Post Magazine published an extensive report on the practice of a doctor who specializes in targeting unborn babies in multiple pregnancies--killing them with a shot of potassium chloride to the heart. The article is one of the most chilling reports ever written on what really happens in these abortions.

This is evidence of the revenge of conscience. We can deny moral knowledge for only so long, and there is no denying the horror of what we now allow.

On a personal note, I have a younger brother who is Down Syndrom. He is a great person. A wonderful human being and my life is richer and fuller because of him. I cannot imagine my life without him being a part of it.
