"The insane person is not one who has lost his reason; the insane person is one who has lost everything but his reason." ~G.K. Chesterton
Various "experts" have announced that there is no difference between killing the born versus the unborn. Note they do not discourage such killing. Oh, no. They conclude both forms of killing are rational and justified.
The French revolutionaries sought to destroy all fundamental beliefs rooted in faith or tradition so as to replace those beliefs with the dictatorship of pure reason. Among smaller endeavors such as inventing the metric system, that dictatorship oversaw the murder of a large number of people and eventually fizzled out after Napoleon's transcontinental carnage came to an end.
But that end was illusory. As with our pyrrhic battlefield victories over slavery, fascism, and European consolidation -- all phenomena that continue to flourish -- the dictatorship of pure reason marches forward and will serve to justify whatever people want to hear. Because people have lost the faith that forced them to question their motives and desires, things will continue becoming more and more barbaric. Abortion has gone from abomination, to unpleasant necessity, to fundamental right, and now to mere point of reference for post-natal termination. We are certifiably insane.
