Melissa Harris-Perry, who hosts her own news program on MSNBC, says life begins whenever parents decide it does. On the July 21 edition of her show she said, “When does life begin? I submit the answer depends an awful lot on the feeling of the parents. A powerful feeling--but not science” (Breitbart, July 26, 2013). This is moral relativism in the extreme. By such thinking, not only do my feelings determine right and wrong for me, but they even determine the right to life for others. This opens the door for authority figures to determine when a life is worth living. It is the thinking that has created the modern culture of death with its abortion and euthanasia “rights.” Since evolution rejects the doctrine that man is made in God’s image, human life in an evolutionary culture is not inherently valuable; it is only valuable as it is deemed valuable by society. Life is cheap in the culture of death. (Friday Church News Notes, September 6, 2013, www.wayoflife.org [email protected], 866-295-4143) Comments are closed.
