Our Own Killing Fields

OK, so lately I've been doing a lot of thinking. I recall a time last year when me and several friends were walking through the student center and another Christian came up to us encouraging us to attend a lecture on abortion in the United States. We said that we probably wouldn't be coming, so he asked us to reconsider, and my friend looked at him and said "You know, I'm at peace about it." I've never forgotten that.
Do we have the right to be at peace about it? It pains us to hear stories from the Holocaust, or the Killing Fields in Cambodia, or the millions murdered under Stalin in the former Soviet Union, but when we hear things like "47,282,923 babies have been aborted in America since Roe v. Wade" it doesn't phase us. We've learned to live with it. The truth is, the number of aborted babies in the U.S. is close to, if not greater than the number of deaths from all three aforementioned tragedy's combined.

Edmund Burke once wrote "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." I don't claim to have all the answers as to how we respond to abortion in our nation, but the first step is to stop being at peace about it and start being uncomfortable with our own killing fields.

Keep it real,

Ben
