The Greatest Evil

It’s fairly easy to look back upon horrible historical events and ask oneself, “How could that have happened? Why did decent people not do something to stop it?”
Examples that come to mind are the mass murders (genocide) committed by world leaders:
*World War II, Hitler murders 11 million Jews, Slavs, Roma, disabled, homosexuals, political dissidents.
*1975 Khmer Rouge murders 2 million Cambodians.
*1990 Hutu rebels murder 800,000 civilians.
*1995 Serbs murder 100,000 Bosnian and Croatian civilians.
*2003 Government of Sudan murdered 300,000 Darfuri civilians.
Today, the United States government authorizes, finances and encourages around the world the mass murder of tens of millions of innocent babies. At last count, over 60 million have been butchered. Some, as they were being born, kicking and screaming as they experience the horror of having a spike driven into their brain.
Where is the outrage?
This has to be the most heinous, monstrous example of evil manifest on earth since the beginning of recorded time. Ruthless butchering of innocents unable to ask for help, unable to defend themselves. And through it all, we implore God to bless America! Do we really expect God to bless our toleration of such inhuman acts of extreme brutality?
Cruelty to animals is punishable under the law, as it should be. Cruelty to unborn or partially born babies, on the other hand, is acceptable under the law. How can we possibly be so sanctimonious, so hypocritical? We refuse to call it murder or even killing. Instead, we attempt to mask the horror by assigning less harsh names to the butchery. We call it abortion and when that begins to sound a little uncomfortable, we call it “choice.” Marketing at its worse, selling evil as an individual “right” while ignorant, gullible masses swallow it whole.
I am a Christian by choice, but I am a human being first. As a human being I am repulsed by what we do to totally defenseless babies. As a Christian I am supposed to be forgiving of others for what they do. I’m very weak at that point. But on the other hand, I do not believe I am supposed to forgive ongoing, unchanging, evil practices visiting horrors on the defenseless.
