Where is outrage over clinic?

One lion is killed under questionable circumstances, and Betty White lashes out at the hunter, thousands protest, some publish the hunter’s address on Twitter, hundreds call for hunter’s death, nighttime comedy hosts cry over the loss. One lion is dead.

Juxtapose the recent and everyday event of technicians digging through a bucket of human body parts at a Planned Parenthood clinic. “Oh look, a liver, a brain, a spinal cord and an arm.” No they are not pawing through some amorphous group of cells, but human parts. The buyer of the parts call the parts “five star” and “golden” and then comments on their dollar value. The technicians continue the dialogue by saying, “Oh look, another boy.”

I am near the point of vomiting, and I hope you are, too. Where are the Betty Whites of the world? Where are the protests in the street? Where are the TV host tears? I guess “all lives don’t matter,” after all; they are only human boys and girls in those buckets and not fuzzy lions.

We truly have arrived in Huxley’s “Brave New World,” and I am John the Savage. I pray I am not the only Savage.
