Rep. Campfield is thinking about the abortion issue
Posted By katie allison granju
Stacey Campfield says he believes abortion is the great moral issue of our time. In a post titled “Slavery and Life,” he writes:
I have been thinking a lot about the life issue lately (even more so then usual).
The more I think about it, the more I feel it is the great moral issue of our lifetime. Just as slavery was the issue to my great, great (great?) grandfathers generation, I look at the life issue today.
… I get incredibly frustrated at people at first, at the coldness of their hearts. I wonder how they can turn such a blind eye to the cruelty and inhumanity of the act. Then I think possibly it is the brutality in and of itself that makes it so easy for people to look away from. Just as the German people could turn their eyes from the cruelty done to the Jewish people in the 1930’s and 40s and just imagine it really isn’t happening because its too gruesome to imagine or it is easier to imagine the people who it is happening to aren’t really people at all. Less then human.
On a related note, a proposal to limit abortions in Tennessee won rapid approval from the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday.
