Thinking on the Terri Schiavo case, I was wondering: is this a forerunning of persecution?

If this nation is willing to kill the unborn and now the unaware, who will be next?

I wonder if eventually, one day, it will be the people who believe in right and wrong who will be killed as inconvenient.

Comments?

Read Huxley's, "A Brave New World". Huxley saw in the early part of the last century what the Episcopal Church's cave into artificial birth control would lead. We are all expendable in this "brave new world".

I think we should keep our trust in Our Lord and a cool and rational head on our shoulders.

Brothers and Sisters:

Go back and read Pope Paul VI's Humanae Vitae where he predicted that this would follow from the devaluing of the marital act by the use of artificial contraception. He predicted that abortion and euthanasia would follow.

Welcome to that Brave New World.
