It is truly baffling who much the truth and irony of the reactions to the witness to the horrors of abortion can be. In the United Kingdom, because the 1967 legislation for the legalization of abortion, upwards of 200,000+ innocent children are being executed per year. When two courageous and truth loving souls, Andy Stephenson and Kathryn Sloane (both Christians needless to say) were bearing witness to this ongoing atrocity and used a poster of an aborted child to shock people and confront the public with what their government and society allows, they were arrested under the Public Order Act for pubic offense. What gives ? So the depiction of horror and brutality of the innocence is an arrestable offense but the actual act of brutality is not ? Robert Mendick's report of the incident can be read in the Daily Telegraph here. These events show that truth is one of the first casualties of a society in free-fall. In many ways Britain has become a post-anglican hedonistic mess.
In other news, national public radio announced that there was new legislation in South Dakota which will go into effect July 1st which states that pregnant mothers have to take a 72 hour space of time in which they need to get counseling about executing their unborn children. The public radio seemed to express their disappointment about the law and lamented how only one doctor is allowed into the state from outside to perform this "valuable service". The mind boggles ....and the soul trembles.
