Killing Children
It is a small leap from killing children in the womb to killing, say, two-year-olds (an idea already proffered by Princeton’s Peter Singer). Belgium is now considering a law that would allow children to be euthanized. This ought to outrage but not surprise. A culture that approves the killing of the unborn has lost all moral sanity.
The U.S. is not Belgium. But what is keeping us from going down the same road? We elect lawmakers for whom abortion is a sacred right to be celebrated. We elected and re-elected a President who, while in the Senate, voted three times against The Born Alive Infant Protection Act which would guard the lives of those babies fortunate enough to survive an abortion.
Once we agree to kill our most vulnerable; indeed to even pronounce God’s blessing on those who do the killing, then what boundaries remain?
