America, why are you surprised?

I can't help but be puzzled by the reaction of the media surrounding the story of the abortionist in Pennsylvania who is charged with murdering 5 people.

Let me be clear - If he did what he's accused of, it's horrible. Absolutely horrible. But so is the murder of all of the other babies he's killed in his "clinic."

And that's what puzzles me. The media is upset almost to the point of vomiting when they talk about what he did to "four viable babies" and one mother, BUT they are not upset when talking about those very same babies when they are killed when inside the womb.

Huh? Let's look at that again. They are upset when the baby comes out the womb and killed, but not when that same child is inside the mother and killed.

Years ago - in 1973 - "freedom of choice" won over morality. In the last 40 years, millions upon millions have died inside the womb. Where's the outrage from the media for all of those deaths? Now we have 4 babies in Pennsylvania who died outside the womb and there is a huge outcry!

America, this is what you asked for! By the same argument used for "freedom of choice" the doctor was merely exercising that freedom wasn't he? It just happened to be that the baby was outside of the womb this time. So why the outrage? If we can see the baby, we're outraged, but take that same baby out of sight (i.e. in the womb) and we don't give a rip.

If we allow "freedom" over morality, this is what we get. Freedom does not mean the ability to do whatever we want no matter what the consequences. License is the ability to do whatever you want without considering the consequences. According to Merriam-Webster license means "3a : freedom that allows or is used with irresponsibility." Freedom on the other hand comes with great responsibility and is not the same as license.

When we provided women the license to kill an unborn child, it was only a matter of time before something like the deaths of these babies came about. How? We seared our collective conscious in order to grant license for abortion. Once the conscience is seared, the license only grows into actions similar to what this doctor is accused of doing.

America and the media - your outrage is off kilter. It should be outraged at the actions of this doctor, but it should also be aimed at the murder that we cleverly disguise as abortion.
