Over the
past 50-60 years the word “rights” has gathered so much momentum that today
whenever there is a desire to change something the word which will send shivers
through spine of legislators is “rights.” It’s my “right” to abort. It’s my “right,”
to call myself male when I am biologically female. It’s my “right” for me to
evolve into any of the prescribed hundreds of newly founded and named genders.
It’s my “right” to have myself euthanized. It’s my “right” to suicide if and when I want to and if I can’t carry out my suicide then it’s my “right”
to demand that someone does it for
me. All of this because of my dignity
and so I can die with dignity and so I can be who I am with dignity and so on
and one and on.
On the
rights issue is the reality that children lose their right to know surely and
securely who their mother and father, and all their preceding generations
are. That they were not just placed in
a gestational carrier, or artificial womb and then handed over to someone who
ordered their “life” But have a mother who has carried them in her body beneath
her heart, and a father who has engendered their life and to be protector.
Children
have a right to a father who will model manliness for them. To a son will be shown how to be a boy and
then a man and to daughter the type of man she chooses for the future because
her father was a wonderful role model.
The
transmission of life is written in the cells of each parent and they complement
one another to give life, and this belongs in the human race to a man and a
woman, irrespective of what “rights” are demanded.
Right to
die when I say I want to die. I also demand
that another help me in my dying. Irrespective of the fact that the other has
then to live with the fact that he/she did the pulling of the plug or helped
with poisons administered and you died.
And what
about those who are not ill but simply want to jump ship because it’s a bit
hard. Their desires must also be same as the
others' who have the right to the demanded rights.
Then there
is the emerging new word is “equality” Ah yes!! The new word which has found
favour with the light, green, different “rights” seeking mob.
" I demand
to be recognised in my same sex “marriage” because otherwise my rights will be
trampled on and I will be seen as different and I won’t be equal to everyone
else. It’s even my right to be seen as
equal and to have my relationship accepted as equal as the rest of
society. I demand this right to
equality. Even television commercials tell us that we are not equal until
everyone is equal."
At the
core of the tragedy which has befallen modern times is the rejection of God,
which has then led to rejection of life first in the infants, and now demanded
for the disabled, elderly, frail. The
loss of awe for life. Those who would
destroy life at every stage and for whatever reason have already lost the idea
of “awesomeness” which is life.
Those who
argue for cheap life have lost the sight and understanding of that mystery
called life.
Marriage,
sexuality, stability, complementarity, all of which are designed for life are in danger rendering
children, who are the future, to be in grave danger and other vulnerable individuals also
in danger.
