CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 16, 2020
HOLLAND, A LAND OF TULIPS, GREAT ART, CANALS, PROSTITUTION, DRUGS AND A LAW ALLOWING FOR EUTHANASIA OF THE ELDERLY IS TAKING A STEP FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD TO UNDERMINING THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE.
THE UK DAILY NEWS REPORTS THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT IS CONSIDERING ALLOWING EUTHANASIA FOR SO-CALLED “TERMINALLY ILL” CHILDREN FROM ONE TO TWELVE. CHILDREN CAN REQUEST TO BE KILLED, BUT PARENTS MUST GIVE PERMISSION.
GREAT INHUMANITIES ALWAYS BEGIN AT THE EXTREMES, BUT ONCE A PRECEDENT IS ESTABLISHED IT ALLOWS FOR THOSE EXTREMES TO BECOME MAINSTREAM. REMEMBER WHEN ABORTION WAS ONLY FOR WOMEN WHO HAD BECOME PREGNANT AS A RESULT OF RAPE OR INCEST? NOW IT IS ON DEMAND. VIRGINIA GOVERNOR RALPH NORTHAM – A PEDIATRICIAN – THINKS IT’S OK TO ALLOW A NEWBORN TO DIE IF THE MOTHER CHANGES HER MIND AFTER DELIVERY.
IN HOLLAND, THE APPEAL WILL BE MADE ALONG THE LINES OF RELIEVING A SUFFERING CHILD WHO IS GOING TO DIE ANYWAY AND RELIEVING THE PARENTS OF UNNECESSARY EXPENSES. IF WE ARE ALL EVOLUTIONARY ACCIDENTS WITH NO AUTHOR OF LIFE AND NO PURPOSE IN LIVING, THEN ANYTHING BECOMES POSSIBLE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
