The Devaluation of Life

A major reason for the fall of a once great nation has to include the way a nation disdains the sanctity of life. There are many examples of how this country does so but there is no greater one than its acceptance of abortion.There have been almost 40 million abortions since 1973.You do not have to be religious to recognize that abortion is an abominable practice.Children have been born and lived at the age of two months and up,yet, abortions are now being done right up to the time of birth. As with homosexuality,most people who say they are "pro-choice" do not think about what is involved in the act they advocate.A women's right to "choose" and a "it's my body" mentality, are the major reasons given for justifying abortion.How incredibly shallow and self-centered these reasons are. I say this with the knowledge that all kinds of cheap and readily accessible types of birth control have been available for years.This makes the figure of 40 million even more remarkable.But then again,if you have a disregard for life,then this number is in no way surprising.
