When society turns its back on Christian values, it usually opens the door to morally questionable issues, such as a disregard for human dignity and even human life.
It will ultimately lead to a culture of death.
This lesson was brought home by a video in which Dr. Deborah Nucatola, a senior executive at Planned Parenthood, discussed the prices of baby parts over lunch with two actors who were pretending to be buyers.
Unaware of being filmed, Dr. Nucatola explained how one could get body parts from aborted babies without wrecking them.
The video has caused outrage and rightly so. However, some newspapers have tried to play down the issue. What they have failed to see is that too many unborn humans have no human rights at all.
Fortunately, even among a culture that celebrates death, there are voices, such as abortion survivor Gianna Jessen, who would rather celebrate life as a gift from God than to succumb to the culture of death.
