Best of the week entry 4

The final entry of the day comes from Albert Mohler and is a chilling glimpse into the mind of modernity. In When Feminism Kills — Abortion As ‘The Lesser Evil’ Dr. Mohler introduces us to Antonia Senior writing for The Times of London and who argues that while she recognizes an unborn child as a human life, the cause of feminism trumps the right of that baby to life. In fact, having a baby of her own led her to this position. How twisted is that?

Abortion, which she acknowledges is the killing of a human life, is defined as “a lesser evil” than the curtailing of abortion rights in the name of liberating women.

“As ever, when an issue we thought was black and white becomes more nuanced, the answer lies in choosing the lesser evil,” she assures. “The nearly 200,000 aborted babies in the UK each year are the lesser evil, no matter how you define life, or death, for that matter. If you are willing to die for a cause, you must be prepared to kill for it, too.”

You must be prepared to kill for the sake of defending abortion rights? That is exactly what abortion entails — the killing of an unborn child for the sake of asserting a woman’s so-called “right to choose.”

In this essay, published in one of the world’s most venerable newspapers, Antonia Senior goes public with the argument that feminists should just admit that abortion is the killing of a human life, and then go on to assert that the right to kill an unborn human life is just the price that must be paid if feminism is to be defended.

“If you are willing to die for a cause, you must be prepared to kill for it, too.” That statement, published for all the world to see, perfectly distills the inescapable logic of the abortion right argument. It is based on a willingness to kill — and on the horrifying audacity to call this killing “the lesser evil.”

On the one hand I am glad to see a pro-abortion advocate admit what abortion is. On the other, what does it say about our society that people are willing to admit that abortion is killing a human being but are still OK with it as long as it advances their misguided "cause"? The callous indifference to what is admittedly a human life is horrifying.

We have only begun to see the true depth of human depravity. May God grant us strength to stand fast in the days to come.
