Just by coincidence two of my favorite bloggers have posted articles today about two different subsets of America's culture of death.

The first is Matt Walsh whose column compares the recent murder of a baby torn from his mother's womb by a deranged woman with the outrage expressed over Indiana's religious freedom act.

"Indeed, as babies are explicitly excluded from basic legal protections and the most fundamental of human rights, the attention of the country focuses on a religious freedom bill, passed last week, which might, in some limited circumstances, interfere with a gay couple’s ability to procure baked goods. Liberals throughout the land are frantic over the prospect that homosexuals may possibly, in some potential situations, experience the moderate nuisance of a business owner declining to participate in their gay wedding."

The second is a piece by Mark Steyn ten years ago on the occasion of the judicial murder of Terri Schiavo.

"Terri Schiavo died exactly a decade ago - March 31st 2005 - a fortnight after her feeding tube was disconnected by order of the court. I found the idea of a probate judge sentencing persons to death deeply unsettling - and that was at a time before Mann vs Steyn and other matters made me personally aware of the appallingly low quality of jurists. The hospital ceased feeding Mrs Schiavo on March 18th and settled back to watch her spend two weeks starving to death. Here's what I wrote in The Chicago Sun-Times four days before she finally expired:"

I recommend both articles even if, as happened with me, they can be depressing and I leave you with this to reflect upon:

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (Deut 30:19)

He has stayed His hand thus far. He won't forever.
