What About It?

Observations made by George Weigel in a Catholic Education Research Center's recent publication:

*The people of the United States have elected the most radically pro-abortion presidential candidate in American history, and by the largest popular vote percentage garnered by a Democrat since Lyndon B. Johnson.

*The people of the State of Washington have adopted, in a landslide, an act permitting the euthanizing of the sick, elderly and burdensome under the Orwellian rubrics of "death with dignity" and "physician-assisted suicide."

*The people of California have exercised their sovereign will to prevent the parents of minors from being notified if their daughter intends to have an abortion -- although you may be quite certain that said parents would be consulted before said minor's school nurse administered an aspirin tablet.

*And the people of Michigan have decided to authorize a wholesale slaughter of human embryos for research purposes -- at precisely the moment that embryonic stem-cell research has lost much of its scientific luster, thanks to developments in the reprogramming of adult stem cells.

And we sit by and take it?
