Today's (Nov 29) LA Times has an insightful, although disturbing, article on a particular abortionist.
The article subhead reads, "Yes, an Arkansas doctor says, he destroys life. But he believes the thousands of women who have relied on him have been 'born again.'"
How's that?
"When you end what the woman considers a disastrous pregnancy, she has literally been given her life back," he says.
There's more doublespeak:
"It's not a baby to me until the mother tells me it's a baby," the abortionist says.
And "destroying life" doesn't mean killing, but just removing tissue. You see here a mind that has lost its grip on reality because it no longer wishes to know reality as it is, but only to believe its own lies.
I was reflecting on the relation between abortion and disposable life in response to a scene on television last night that I was told about: in a show called Las Vegas a woman takes the ashes of a departed friend, dumps them into a toilet then flushes them away. Apparently that's what the departed would have wanted.
Disposable life, gone with a flush, along with the truth about human life. How can any society survive that doesn't know what human life is?
I believe this is what by the expression "playing God."
