WASHINGTON, D.C. — According to local authorities in the nation’s capital, a large mob of unhinged extremists has converged on the National Mall to politely state they would prefer it if 3,000 babies weren’t being killed every day.
“It’s disturbing to be reminded that lunatics like this really exist,” said Capitol Police Chief Donald Jones to reporters, who were huddling behind barricades for their safety. “It’s a sobering reminder that pockets of extremism still thrive in remote corners of this country. We will remain vigilant to ensure these deranged people don’t make any rash moves to stop the mass slaughter of babies.”
Several representatives from the group made their demands known in the form of polite statements to the media and cardboard signs held by school kids. “Yeah, that’s pretty much it,” said Dirk Flanders, spokesperson for the Please Stop Killing So Many Babies Foundation. “If it’s not too much to ask, maybe we can not kill 3,000 babies every day? I dunno, is that rude?” Thankfully, the disturbed zealot was quickly shouted down by a group of brave activists screaming into a bullhorn and throwing tampons.
Sources confirmed hundreds of thousands are attending this march and several like it around the country. Law enforcement is encouraging citizens to ignore it and pretend like nothing is happening.
Go here to read the rest. After my time in this Vale of Tears is done, and I stand before God for my Particular Judgement, I assume that I will spend almost all of it with my head bowed in abject shame. When God reviews my time with the Pro-life Movement, I think my head will come up a bit, although there has been so much more I could have done. To my brothers and sisters in the Movement who have been the true Champions, I salute you. Future generations will bless your names.
I don’t think your head will be bowed in abject shame, Donald, but rather in profound awe and reverence.
I am pretty confident LQC that we do not behold the Beatific Vision during the Particular Judgment. I assume that God will be seen as a powerful light, as during the Transfiguration.
It should be noted that ancient Carthage practiced a particularly cruel form of infant sacrifice to their god Moloch. When it came time to war against the expanding Roman empire, their greatest General, Hannibal, clearly outclassed the Romans. In the end, Roman persistence, and a belief that two empires could not co-exist, defeated Hannibal. Military students often debate what moves on the battlefield gave Rome the victory. Those with a background in the humanities cite Roman virtue, pagan that it was, as key to their success despite terrible early military losses. Today we also note two great military powers but many are straining to see if there is virtue to be found.
I think Thomas Peters is right that the March for Life should be in June to celebrate the Dobbs decision instead of mourning Roe which has been overturned.
