(LifeNews.com) – It is becoming more difficult than ever to deny that we have become a nation gripped with death. When a culture openly celebrates killing, when murderers are excused and violence is cheered, and when polls reveal that more than a third of Americans believe that killing the President of the United States can be justified, then everyone is at risk. No one is safe.
We see the signs almost daily. After Charlie Kirk was assassinated, social media was filled with posts mocking or even applauding his death. When UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down late last year, a vocal fringe celebrated the killing and even praised the accused.
This did not happen overnight. From mothers lauding their abortions to my sister Terri Schiavo’s needless, inhumane, court-ordered dehydration death, the devaluing of human life has taught our culture to excuse – and even cheer – the destruction of the innocent. CONTINUE
