Could God punish our nation for its declining morality?

That Gosnell…I couldn’t bear reading too much about it, but those details you mention above are simply awful, just awful.
But what I’m saying is…it’s no worse now than before. In fact, there were probably more Gosnells before when it was not legal…more non-medical people ripping out at such a late time of the pregnancy and they were not doctors.

And there has always been people to whom life held little to no value. Each century, each generation, has those people.

The Rwanda genocide was only 20 years ago. Within weeks, people were convinced to kill their neighbors by hand with machetes–people they had called friends weeks before.
But it’s no different than the holocaust in Germany fifty years earlier, tho in Rwanda 1 million died and in Europe it was 8 million. So perhaps it was worse back then.
And many more millions died in the crusades before that hundreds of years before that.
So to say it’s getting worse now, that we value life less are are less moral now…I still don’t agree.
It just sort of changes shape and form.

But…each century, each generation, also has its people who greatly value human life in stellar ways and try to do good and make a difference.
And we have those, too.

I understand what you are saying,in terms of atrocities committed agsnst groups of people.Yes,maybe abortion is the same but in a different shape or form as you say.Yet,where I see a real spiral downward morally,especially re abortion is mothers’ turning against their own children.This is counter intuitive to a woman’s nature.This is what is particularly evil. In the case of Gosnell and Carthart and those of their ilk,most of these babies would have survived outside of the womb,in fact most of them were killedAFTER they were born.This just shows the slippery slope of abortion.If one doesn’t believe that life begins at conception,then this is where we end up,justifying the killing of innocent babies at any stage of development.I find this frightening,all for the sake of a woman’s right to choose!

Certainly He could- it has happened before. Reread Abraham Lincoln’s Last Inaugural Address.

Great question, but if the US is punished, it’s more of a natural consequence from failing to follow His law, in my opinion.
