It amazes me that they will be so proud of being instruments of social change when it suits them, and then say they have no responsibility for the bad messages, and so many people buy it.

It is dangerous to give knee-jerk reactions. Admittedly, given the history of this administration it is hard not to do.

Society seems not to want to take a hard look at the question, "When is this being (zygote/embryo/fetus/child) worthy of protection? At what point does someone get human rights?"

They find it more positive and more humanizing than the approach modern secular culture takes (surprise), and I shall be interested in watching the development for the coming years.

I am so disappointed in Jackie Chan
