Dogs, Babies and Public Sympathy

Dogs, Babies and Public Sympathy

The moral compass of many Americans must surely be broken. There is almost universal outrage against Michael Vick, the football star who ran a dog-fighting kennel and killed a few of the dogs that did not perform well. There is little or no outrage that over a million unborn babies will be killed this year by American abortion providers. Folks even defend the infamous Dr. George Tiller of Kansas who specializes in partial birth abortions for late term babies.

I don't give Vick a pass. Like some others in our society, he likes the blood sport. This barbaric practice most Americans have outgrown and now loathe. Being a top-dollar professional athlete, I expect Vick to get a minimum sentence and then be welcomed back to pro-football. I only plead for sympathy and compassion for unwanted, pre-born babies. Surely they deserve better than an abortionist's curette.

Jesus said to the lukewarm Christians in Laodicea, "Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked. I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments that thou mayest clothe thyself, and that the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eye salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see" (Rev. 3:16-18). Never did a society stand in greater need of these words than ours.

Sincerely,
