The Father of Lies is hard at work and he has many, many children to feed. They lap it up and ask what's wrong with people in this society, never seeing their own part in it. People of the Lie, a great book by M. Scott Peck, M.D. (also The Road Less Traveled) explains it well.

We old timers in the pro-life movement have been warning about this since R v W first was decided. We've been waiting and praying for the rest of the country to wake up, LISTEN and believe that we have not been exaggerating all along.

Worldwide, we have aborted1 Billion, and fertility rates have plummeted; is endangered species status next?

Our society tolerates these gross incoherences in the same way that it tolerates the theological fiction that women can be priests and that homosexuality is normal.
