By now, only those who choose ignorance have not heard of the Planned Parenthood’s selling of baby body parts, organs and tissues that were taken from live infants killed by doctors. Information can be found here, but is only recently being discussed in the mainstream media.

Now we have Paul Pelton, who, when happening upon a fatal car accident, chose to record the dying teenage victims on his mobile rather than assist (article here). Being first on the scene, one might expect him to behave like a human, and lend aid. But to do so would mean we’d expect him to act in a manner inconsistent with a 21st century life-ethic (Carl Trueman has  an excellent article on the consistency of ethics here). Rather, he recorded one teen’s death and attempted to sell footage to news outlets. He has been charged with trespassing in an accident scene, the only charge that could apply.

We have now, for over a generation, understood human life is at our disposal–we can get rid of unwanted children, or the unwanted elderly and disabled, and even sell tissue, or suffering for a profit. Making the unborn disposable has logically led to the unthinkable attempt at profiteering from human suffering. If the weakest of life can be so easily terminated, if life means so little, what reason would Pelton have to feel shame for his inaction?

The late Francis Schaeffer wrote:

“If man is not made in the image of God, nothing then stands in the way of inhumanity. There is no good reason why mankind should be perceived as special. Human life is cheapened. We can see this in many of the major issues being debated in our society today: abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, the increase of child abuse and violence of all kinds, pornography (and its particular kinds of violence as evidenced in sadomasochism), the routine torture of political prisoners in many parts of the world, the crime explosion, and the random violence which surrounds us.”

(Francis A. Schaeffer, The Complete Works of Francis A. Schaeffer: A Christian Worldview, vol. 5 (Westchester, IL: Crossway Books, 1982), 290.)

As our culture descends to the the level of the animal, it will become clear that the Christian worldview, along with its value of man as created in the image of God, is the only way to stop the barbarism that is now the norm.

Blogging the Revised Ontario Sex-Education Curriculum 4: "It's too heavy, Pappa!"

One of the criticisms leveled against the Revised Ontario Sex-Education Curriculum is that it is age-inappropriate. If understood, however, that the plan is to make transgenderism and homosexuality normative, it becomes clear that younger is much better. It is much harder to unlearn what has been taught at early ages, and this is why such material is delayed until High School.

Corrie Ten Boom is well known among Christians as a Dutch woman, who, along with her immediate family was imprisoned for sheltering Jews during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. They were betrayed and sent to concentration camps. I believe that only Corrie survived to tell the tale, and she lived to old age.

She is the Corrie in the article excerpt below. Although this was written in 2013 about the US president Obama and his Attorney General, ,Eric Holder, the principles of the destruction of childhood apply to Ontario today. Please take the time to read the whole article here.

“Corrie Ten Boom, in her autobiographical The Hiding Place, relays the story of when she, still a young girl and traveling with her father, asked him what sex was. He told her to try to lift his packed luggage bag. She couldn’t. He said he would be a cruel father if he made her carry this heavy bag. Just like that bag was too heavy for her, the knowledge of which she was inquiring was too heavy. But when she grew stronger and more mature, she could bear it. It was a timely metaphor from a very wise father, and quite to the point. Sexual knowledge is too glorious for a young child to bear. Every good parent understands this implicitly. It is not a mere social construct that makes parents uneasy when their children begin to inquire into this more glorious knowledge before they are ready to bear it. And when a child learns of it prematurely, it tends to twist and pervert her just like a heavy object would twist a young tree growing under the weight.

Understanding the nature of glory in this way, especially is it pertains to human sexuality, exposes the cruel agenda of sex-education in our government schools. The Enemy would crush our children with the weight of sexual glory in the hopes of perverting them and even robbing them of that very glory. Given the statistics of divorce, unmarrieds and abortions since the advent of sexual “liberation,” the scheme seems to have worked nicely. Satan is not so much interested in attacking the family generally as He is in crushing the woman (man’s glory) and the fruit of her womb. He has always targeted the womb, lest the woman be saved through childbearing.”

Blogging the Revised Ontario Sex-Education Curriculum 2. It is illegal to convert.

Conversion therapy will be illegal in Ontario. So if a person becomes a Christian (converts) he/she (or any other of the 50+ genders) must not convert to the sex with which they were born.

Remember, that when faith is private, the realm of the private shrinks and the rule of the state increases. The state now owns your emotions and affections.

Wynne calls conversion therapy dangerous, saying it has no place in Ontario

Keith Leslie, The Canadian Press

TORONTO – So-called conversion therapy that attempts to alter someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity is “dangerous” and should not be practised in Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne said Thursday.

“There is no place in Ontario for conversion therapy, which is based on the premise that being gay or transgendered is wrong and needs to be corrected,” she said. “The use of conversion therapy to dissuade a person from self-identifying results in neither outcome and should not be tolerated.”

Wynne, who is gay, spoke in favour of an NDP private member’s bill that would make it illegal to attempt to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of someone aged 18 and under through therapy.

The premier said she had a lot of life experience when she came out in her mid-30s and understood her sexuality, unlike young people.

“I had the benefit of 36 years of life experience and I understood my journey in a way that an eight-year-old or a nine-year-old cannot possibly,” she told the legislature. “They can be vulnerable to the notion that being gay is a choice, rather than being integral to who you are.”

Private member’s bills rarely become law in Ontario, but it’s equally rare for a premier to speak in favour of one and to vote for it.

The bill by New Democrat Cheri DiNovo was approved unanimously on second reading Thursday and will go to the legislature’s justice committee for consideration.

“I want to dedicate this to all of those victims who’ve been electro-shocked, shamed, suffered induced vomiting, induced paralysis, told they’re not male or female enough,” said DiNovo.

“There have been studies done that show children that have been through conversion therapy are eight times more likely to commit suicide than those who have not.”

DiNovo said there are no professional bodies anywhere in the world that support conversion therapy “but it’s still going on” in Ontario, which she discovered while touring the province with a committee on gay-straight alliances in schools.

“We had psychiatrists come before that committee that testified the majority of their practise was conversion therapy,” she said. “Many of them were informed by fundamentalist religious convictions … but many others across the faith spectrum say this has nothing to do with faith or religion.”

There are no medical guidelines in Ontario that support therapy that would “convert” someone’s sexual or gender identity, said Wynne, who promised the government will make sure the medical profession is aware of that fact.

“(Health) Minister Eric Hoskins will be sending a letter to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and other relevant colleges explaining that their rules should not allow conversion therapy,” she said.

DiNovo said she wants to make sure conversion therapy is no longer covered by Ontario’s health insurance plan because some doctors have billed it under general counselling.
