I found this press release today, and find myself becoming irate over the arrogance and presumption it reflects. Apparently the Reverend Veazey considers me to be one who doesn't take my religious beliefs seriously. Either that, or he presumes to be able to speak for me as one who does, though he speaks words of folly and in a way that is diametrically opposed to my convictions.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following is a statement by Reverend Carlton W. Veazey, president of Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice:
The "Unborn Victims of Violence Act" (H.R. 1997), passed today by the U.S. House of Representatives, is morally offensive to the millions of Americans who take their religious beliefs seriously. On their behalf, the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice calls upon the Senate to defeat this deceptive, dangerous bill."
I guess we're just fools who don't take our faith very seriously (by refusing to bow to the autonomy of man, I might add). This bill is a great step in the recognition of the Biblical truth that all life is granted by God, and that we must recongize it in our laws. The true fools, of course, are the backers of Rev. Veazey's statement, men and women drunken with the folly of postmodernism who believe that it is up to the woman to determine whether or not the "lump of flesh" inside her is a human life or not. Objectivity is tossed to the wind, and folly reigns. Lord, have mercy.
Amen.
