It isn’t hyperbole, unfortunately. The founders of the modern “pro-choice” (read abortion) movement all had a eugenics background. Sadly this philosophy can be found even at the highest levels.

RE Honesty… Ah I see what you mean. Having talked with a number of these people (I engage in apologetics from time to time), I’ve found that there are a number of camps: the first are those who honestly don’t know that what is growing within them is a child; the others are those who know that it is a child but for some reason (convenience, guilt, agenda, etc.) ignore that fact because they believe their “reason” supersedes the rights of the child.

I have always fought against people who try to take a piecemeal approach to the Bible. The Bible is God’s word, He is the principle author, every word in there is sacred. You can’t ignore one section without reverting to eisegesis.

And I agree, someone needs to rock the boat

You know, I’ve heard that near-genocidal approach to the abortion debate before, but the first time dismissed it as hyperbole. That’s staggering to me. It’s ironic that the very people perpetuating such ideals are the same ones going on television to proclaim their savior status for these very same “undesirables.”

As I said on the RedState discussion for this article, this piece is an admonishment for the Christians out there to get their heads straight. It’s not a legalistic or evidential argument, but strictly biblical.

And when I say lack of honesty, I mean intellectual and spiritual honesty. When you pick and choose from the Bible as though it were a buffet, you’re being dishonest, whether you realize it or not. The Bible is a complete work, and is uniquely self-corroborating. Denial of even the smallest part unravels the rest. All too often people like to pick and choose the bits that agree with their prejudicial ideology and toss anything that is politically inexpedient.

On abortion, only astounding ignorance of His word OR of the nature of the procedure could possibly comfort a pro-choice Christian. Whether that’s ignorance born of choice or of circumstance, someone needs to rock the boat and wake these people up.

I don’t think lack of honesty is the right thing, I think those people honestly believe they are helping society by spouting this crap. These people have an agenda, usually one of thinning the world of undesirables, that they believe will help humanity flourish. They honestly believe that by weeding out the poor and those of color that humanity will get back on track and the woes of the world will cease. Of course, I also think that they are seriously deluded. If I may use an analogy, it’s like a group of people deciding that pepper is the ultimate spice and everything should be flavored with pepper, every other spice should be eliminated, and if only everything were flavored with pepper then there would be peace and harmony and proper tastiness forever. As you can see, this kind of philosophy is very biased and would obviously not work on a global scale with so many different types of spices and flavors and combinations, etc. The strange thing, though, is that if you told a pepper person that you simply didn’t like pepper, they would brand you as closed-minded.

Now how’s that for an analogy
