Andrew Moore wrote this for an American audience and it fits Canada's Just in Trudeau to a T.
We're delusional.
We think we're so civilized, intelligent and technologically advanced. We put a man on the moon. We split the atom. We can do heart transplants and separate conjoined twins. We can build ever higher skyscrapers and next-generation power stations. Self-driving cars and virtual reality.
We're saving the planet. We're eating our organically-grown vegetables and free range eggs in our sustainable housing with our energy-efficient light bulbs and our hybrid cars. We're drinking our filtered water and our green tea lattes talking about climate change and panda populations in our little air-conditioned slice of paradise.
But we murder our own children. By the thousands every day. And by the millions every year. Around the world, we expertly and efficiently dismember and tear the tiny bodies of over 50 million children from where they're growing inside their mothers' wombs. We sift through the broken bodies of our children searching for little hands and hearts that we can experiment upon to cure us of our diseases, and add a few years onto our lives.
Our land is literally (yes, literally) drenched in the blood of these helpless, precious children. The children who aren't illegally dumped in landfills to unceremoniously decompose are incinerated, filling the air with the foul stench of brutality, barbarism, expedience and injustice.
We are living in a society that practices child sacrifice, and we're so good at it. But we don't talk about it. At least, not in terms of reality. No, instead we refer to "scraping the lining of the uterus," products of conception, tissue, termination, abortion and reproductive justice.
We've taken the vices of self-serving and love of comfort to incomprehensibly deplorable levels. We've become the evil of exploitation and oppression that we so eloquently speak against whenever such evils are also condemned by the our favorite politician or celebrity.Enough.
It's past time to shatter the delusion and end this insanity.
Will you join me in committing your time, your treasure - and dread the thought - your reputation, to standing up for the helpless and innocent for as long as it takes, and whatever the cost, until we ultimately abolish this injustice?
