Something I couldn’t help but wondering as a looked over threads about abortion and the Terry Schiavo case, and I read arguments for abortion, and supporting the removal of Terry’s feeding tube, and I couldn’t help but ask where did we go wrong? How did we get so off base that we would be ok with things like killing children and starving people to death, where and how, I’m sure I’m not the only one with this question, and it’s probably not something you can answer in a few words, but I was just wondering.
 
I’ll take up your challenge to explain in a few words.

We went wrong when we traded God in for convenience.

The “convenient” mindset, when dealing with sexuality, is called a “contraceptive” mindset, and in more specific situations, an “abortive” mindset. When contraception is a-ok, then abortion becomes so. When abortion becomes so, euthanasia is next.
Degradation of art. Films and television, photography and music, they all become pornographic. We don’t care any more. It’s more convenient to feed our base wants than to submit to what we know as our higher Need (that is, God).

The order of things ought be “God, others, self.” Instead, it’s become “self, others.”
 
It seems even studying sin, via , looking into others sin to judge leads to hardening of the heart. Look away from it and presevere in Good works and Faith by example. Help others to see the truth in the Word and not stumble ourselfs. Only with Our Lords help can we do this, one soul at a time. Tim
 
We went wrong when we took prayer and God out of the public schools!!! I believe in 1962,
satan is powerful and clever and tripped us up!!.
I often blame most parents from the late 1940’s on. The media also got too big.
 
I agree with Sgt Sweaters that we have traded holiness for convenience. I wonder if it’s a product of war/depression babies not wanting their children to suffer. Unfortunately suffering and hardship also builds character. A child who never has to struggle or wait for gratification grows up demanding instant results.

I also very much blame the “women’s movement” for Roe, Schaivo, and the uprising of homosexual activists. Women thought they were getting rights but they were being wronged. They learned to demean the role of wife and mother. Children became a hinderance, an expense and an inconvenience rather than a blessing. I speak from experience because this is exactly what I learned growing up and what I believed. I now realize that women have sold out and have been sold out by this ‘women’s movement.’ They have traded men who want to be men, provide for their families, and be responsible for transient relationships where men can have sex without responsbility and women do their best to have the same. But they are also left unprotected, kids are neglected and we increasingly look to the government to be mommy and daddy.

Once a woman’s, a wife’s and a mother’s role was demeaned, the homosexuals could advance their cause. After all if women don’t need men to be men, they can be ‘girlz’ instead. No role for marriage (male/female), no role for mothers and fathers. We are all just fellow travelers who have occasional contact.

The real question is can we reverse these horrible trends?
