Sunset over Europe

From The Brussels Journal:

A quote from Samantha Singson at lifesite.net, 8 March 2007

The EU announced on Monday that it had reached a collective European decision to oppose the [UN] resolution [calling on states to eliminate sex selected abortions and female infanticide]. They argued that in order to streamline the CSW [Commission on the Status of Women] process, it would be better to simply add the language to the final outcome document. A European NGO told the Friday Fax that in their meetings with EU officials they were briefed that some European states objected to the sex selection resolution because they opposed condemning any abortions.

I know that the death-cult of the left is firmly established in the US, however it is not so deeply entrenched that the government would "oppose condemning any abortions". This is a depth to which even Bill Clinton never sank.

If abortion is not the unjust taking of an innocent human life then there is no reason to oppose it. If it is the unjust taking of an innocent human life then there is no moral justification for wishing it to remain legal.

If hypocrisy is the tribute which vice pays to virtue then the hypocrite is not completely lost in that he still recognizes the existence of virtue and acknowledges the need to pay it some kind of due. If this is so then there is still some hope for America's pro "choice" politicians who almost to a man/woman claim to personally oppose abortion and express the hope that it will become "rare" even though legal.

This attempt to slither away from an unambiguous endorsement of the procedure indicates that there is some residual acknowledgment of the fact that there is something not quite right about abortion. That they are unwilling to take the next logical step and admit that an abortion involves hacking an infant apart in its own mother's womb, and call this what it is - pure evil - is an indication of just how much a hold the death-cult has on the American Zeitgeist.

But the fact that in almost every part of America a politician seeking votes cannot support abortion on demand without ladling in copious amounts of weasel words means that we haven't crossed the point of no return - yet.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn observed that he dividing line between good and evil cuts through every human heart. He said that we, all of us, step back and forth over that line continually in our lives, but that it is possible to go so far into the darkness that we become unable to find our way back to the light.

It seems that every day now another part of Europe slips past that final dividing line and is irretrievably lost.
