It seems we are simply used to abortion. Even though it is the violent killing of innocent baby humans, done by the thousands every day in this country, we don't hear about it much from the pope, bishops and most politicians. We do hear about the evils of war, which is certainly horrible and should end as soon as possible. But even if the war on the unborn is more deadly, it is hidden.
I cannot take credit for this comparison, but I heard it from someone the other day commenting on Senator Durbin receiving the lifetime achievement award. Even though Durbin has a record of being 100% pro-abortion, he was being recognized for his work with immigrants. Imagine if there were another politician who was completely against abortion. However, this politician supported the shooting of undocumented immigrants as they popped over the wall into the United States. He would not last a day in any reasonable political party in the United States.
The shooting of human immigrants is rightly unthinkable but the violent killing of unborn humans is tolerated. It seems we are simply used to abortion.
