The Origin of Today's Abortion Culture

Very insightful, as you'd expect from Bp. Sheen.  Mid-column defending Tulsi Gabbard's criticism of Truman's use of nukes on civilians, a remarkable quote:

 ...Archbishop Fulton Sheen, a tremendous champion of moral conservatism, identified the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a major inflection point in history—one that undermined all future conservative efforts to oppose immorality in politics. In fact, he marked August 6, 1945, as the origin of all the Leftist cultural and political revolutions that followed—and which America’s modern conservative movement was essentially founded to counter.

“When we flew an American plane over this Japanese city and dropped the atomic bomb on it, we blotted out boundaries,” Sheen said. “There was no longer a boundary between the civilian and the military, between the helper and the helped, between the wounded and the nurse and the doctor, between the living and the dead—for even the living who escaped the bomb were already half-dead. So we broke down boundaries and limits, and from that time on the world has said ‘We want no one limiting me.’”...

Nietzsche's dream come true.

No limits.  That's the abortion culture.

Yes, prior to Hiroshima there was abortion--but it was treated as a most shameful act, an act crying out to Heaven for vengeance.  That is why it was "back alley."  No one dared advertise their crimeAnd it  was rare because men and women of all religions and races, understood the limits.

Post Hiroshima, look what we have.  Elections are won strictly on one's abortion stance, ignoring public drunkenness, elder-abuse, and general mental weakness--and that for a position on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.  

Tulsi is right.  Bishop Sheen is also right.

Had enough?
