Given Up To a Debased Mind: Something is Wrong with Our Society
By Alan Dowd - Posted at byFaith Online:
Doctors are supposed to protect life. That’s why they are respected and trusted. And that’s why, when the story broke last month about doctors so callously and casually taking life — especially innocent, defenseless life — Americans were outraged.
“Flesh and blood, devoid of conscience,” declared one columnist.
The New York Times described the story as “cruel” and predicted that it would prompt much-needed “soul-searching” among those who promote, perpetuate and participate in the industry.
“This crosses an ethical line,” one PR firm gravely concluded.
Predictably, the story triggered protests outside medical facilities. “Murderer!” shouted one protester. The words “ROT IN HELL” were scrawled on a sign outside the offices of one of the accused.
But none of these people were writing about or protesting against the doctors employed by Planned Parenthood, who were caught on tape discussing ways to preserve the organs of aborted babies for commercial use. Instead, just days after those videos were released, America’s outrage was focused on Dr. Walter Palmer, a dentist who, allegedly, illegally hunted and killed a lion in Africa.
