Sanctity Of Life

We as a nation and world have closed the door on the sanctity of life in the favor of the sanctity of lifestyle.   No living human being has the right to intrude on our self-serving right to live an unencumbered life.

I have seen too much of the ease with which we dispose of babies unborn and now are seeking to extend that service to living and viable children.  The so-called and incredibly evil "post-birth abortion."  (Really, this has been going on in hospitals for years.  See the Indiana case of baby X.)

I have seen too much of the elderly and the chronically ill being helped to pass on.  Reading "Stealth Euthenasia: Health Care Tyranny in America" has been both eye opening and disturbing.

I have heard too much about so-called "death with dignity" and patients rights to end of life.

What do all these things have in common: convenience, convenience, convenience.

It is very inconvenient to care for the weakest among us.  It costs us time, money and often, rest, but it is the hallmark of a truly compassionate people.  It is the height, breadth and depth of our humanity.
