When I read the following line from a News Article summarizing the main points from a statement on abortion issued by the Mexican Bishops on March 25th – immediately after reading about a campaign to ban pig scrambles at the annual Dundas Fair in PEI – I couldn’t help but shake my head in dismay at the thickening cloud of ethical and spiritual confusion presently darkening our world:
“The ideology of respect for animals is presented as a responsibility, while the power to bring death to an unborn child is understood as a right.”
All good points Kevin. We lament our current situation with the knowledge that we know things are only going to get worse. We preach a type of population control that is both violent and inhumane as if the human species were some sort of agricultural crop with unwanted pre-borns treated as if they were weeds to be destroyed. Yet, we come to the defence of pigs for so called unethical treatment. The world has indeed been turned upside down
Well said, Kevin. I too am totally against animal cruelty, but this comparison is so true.
