Abortion: The Fallen Angel's 'Hate Crime'

Great article by F. K. Bartels, published on the Catholic Online website.
How is it that the intentional killing of the innocent has become so entrenched in this society, when it is so plainly evil?

GLADE PARK, Colorado (Catholic Online) - The pervasive reality of abortion on demand in this secularist society is both horrific and perplexing. On the one hand, abortion is so utterly ugly that we can hardly imagine how people can participate in it; on the other, we are aware of the factors that seem to lead misguided and deceived women into undergoing the always deadly procedure.

We see the pressures exerted by a society which has bought the lie that there is no such thing as sin, but merely a flexible set of good or not so good choices which people are ‘free’ to make. We are aware of the fears which can descend upon a woman whose dire need for help is sometimes ignored or unexpressed. We are aware that men can pressure women into believing the lie that abortion is the “only choice”. We know that the abortion industry is driven by greed.

Yet, still, how is it that the intentional killing of the innocent has become so entrenched in this society, when it is so plainly evil?
The answer to that question can be found in the writings of a man who was in charge of the propaganda in the Nazi Germany. Josef Goebbels wrote that "if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it". The abortion industry and its supporters of all stripes have mastered the art of telling and repeating big lies (as well as silencing those who insist on telling the truth) pretty well.
