Christianity, Cults and Culture

The Declaration of Independence states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” It is unfortunate that, during a recent speech in Florida, Kamala Harris changed her reading of the Declaration of Independence to “, that among these are liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” This was a move reminiscent of the novel 1984. “Life” was left out because in America we do not have a right to life. Rather people demand a right to abortion. While this issue is likely to be a longstanding debate, the sanctity of life is something that Christians believe to be critical to a proper understanding of our faith. We should not accept the killing of our children. Especially when it is unnecessary. Adoption is a very viable alternative. Our children deserve better.
