Liars today are becoming more and more brazen... and they're using the power of marketing:
Today, Evil does not tell ugly, viscerally off-putting lies about Good; instead, Evil tells beautiful, attractive lies about itself. And nowhere is this more the case than with abortion propaganda.
A Students for Life of America webpage, scoring tax-payer funded abortion propaganda now on at the
University of Michigan, shows a typical pro-abortion image (albeit with a superfluous red X drawn thru it). Look first at the picture: warm sunlight peeking between a flowering horizon and soft clouds offering life-sustaining moisture. That visual image has absolutely nothing to do with abortion, of course, but it sure looks attractive.
Now read the words on the pro-abortion image: abortion is A GIFT FROM GOD. Wow, a gift from God! What could be better than a gift from God?
Now read the quote from abortionist Dr. Susan Wicklund (also gently pictured): “Abortion is about life, quality of life for infants, children, and adults everywhere and in every sense of the word. Life, not death.” Every phrase, friends, every warm, wonderful, heart-tugging, empathy-demanding, sun-shining phrase is a lie. But what an attractive lie it is.
Gone, I think, are the days of Evil telling ugly lies about babies (like the abortion advocate who referred to unborn babies as “parasites”—I thought I was listening to Goebbels’ granddaughter). Babies are too cute to curse, and everyone knows it.
So, instead of telling ugly lies about babies, the Evil One tells beautiful lies about abortion.
How one could see abortion as a gift of God is beyond my comprehension. Whatever happened to the safe, legal and rare crowd? You don't hear from them much anymore. A radical new guard has stepped into the limelight. Butchering babies in the womb now should be safe, legal and to hell with rare. Trumpet it as divine.
The darkness is very dark in these people.
Very dark.
