Right now, in the form of a BBC commenter:
Television pundit Virginia Ironside prompted outrage yesterday after saying she would suffocate a child to end its suffering.
Shocked BBC viewers complained after the agony aunt said she would hold a pillow over the face of a child in pain.
Minutes earlier the controversial writer said ‘a loving mother’ would abort an unwanted or disabled baby, and praised abortion as ‘a moral and unselfish act’…
Hatred of children is a prime mark of the diabolical – Chesterton pointed this out long ago in his “The Everlasting Man”; asking us to understand that the ancient frenzy against witches was impelled by a belief they were preventing the birth of children. Ms. Ironside is doing no more (and no less) than advocating the sacrifice of children on the altar of our new Moloch – the false god, “Choice”. She is our modern witch, telling us that children are a curse and life is an unbearable weight.
Despair as a worldview is a terrible thing, and we can see that it leads to a woman seriously saying that it is an act of love to kill a child. Orwell in his worst nightmares never thought of this – Peace may be War, but even in his terrible vision, Murder was never Love.
Our world is an ailing place – sick at heart and unwilling to live. Christ came that we might have life and have it more abundantly, the modern secular materialist demands that we have no life, unless it is deemed worthwhile by detached, rich false intellectuals.
It will be a long road back to morality and rationality – but as people like Ms. Ironsides plumb the depths of depravity, the path out of the nightmare becomes ever more clear, and I do believe we will take it…and one day people like this will be as forgotten as the ancient priests of Baal or the Aztec murderers are today.
