Bork: Religious Freedom in Jeopardy
Jan 27, 2009 Five Non-Negotiable Issues
Former Supreme Court nominee, Robert Bork says that religious freedom in the United States is in danger. He cites the example of doctors who are unwilling to perform abortions and may soon be forced to. This represents an inability to exercise religion freely.
Judge Bork said he also thought that America is “now going down a path towards kind of a happy-go-lucky nihilism.”
“A lot of people are nihilists,” he continued. “They don’t think about religion. They don’t think about ultimate questions. They go along. They worry about consumer goods, comfort, and so forth.
“As a matter of fact, the abortion question is largely a question about convenience. If you look at the polls about why people have abortions, 90 percent of it has nothing to do with medical conditions. It’s convenience. And that’s I think an example of the secularization of an issue that ought to have a religious dimension.”
It’s the natural progression from the war against Christmas trees in the workplace several years ago (and there was probably something smaller before that). It is time for a major Christian rally of sorts. Time for us to end our silence while we are being asked to give, give, give without any concession from the other side. We are at a point now (if we weren’t there already) where giving further ground endangers souls. Christians who are forced into performing abortions will have to leave the medical profession. Christian hospitals will have to close (it will not be sufficient to merely sell off to a group of people who will perform them). We need to start pushing back in this war against religion; the war against Christianity.
