Valentine's Day
February 14th is the memorial day for Saint Valentine. Because he refused to renounce his Christian faith and because he secretly married Christian couples when aiding Christians was against the law, Emperor Claudius had him arrested. When he tried to convert Claudius, the emperor had him clubbed, stoned, and then finally beheaded. Valentine is said to have been martyred on February 14, around the year 270 AD.

What would happen if you threw a pro life rally and a quarter of a million people showed up?
Nothing---if the mainstream media outlets are to be believed. On Monday, January 24, 2011, thousands upon thousands of people converged on Washington, D.C. to show their pro life solidarity through the annual March for Life. This mighty wave of humanity marched up Constitution Avenue to our U.S. Capitol to be a witness for the sacredness of all human life, from conception to natural death.
One would think that all the major media outlets would be on hand to cover such a newsworthy event, but think again. If the weather was warm, the only sound you'd hear would be crickets chirping. That's right. The annual March for Life is the biggest event, media non-event, found in our country. But of course, as we all know, there is no reporting bias in the MSM. Right? Right?

What is Your Life Worth?
"This person suffering from hereditary defects costs the community 60,000 Reichsmark during his lifetime. Fellow Germans, that is your money, too."
What is your life worth? Can it be quantified financially? Is one person's life worth more than another person's? Is personhood arbitrary? Does your "quality of life" determine whether or not you should live or die? Does your utility to the state decide your fate?
As we can see from the Nazi propaganda poster above, these questions are not new. History recorded what occurred when the German political system decided what the answers to these questions were.
Abortion, 'selective reduction', embryonic stem cell research, use of aborted babies for scientific research, assisted suicide, euthanasia, human cloning, 'right to die', 'quality of life', and the judicial ruling to dehydrate/starve a living human being to death---these are the answers we, as Americans, have given to the question of what a human life is worth. On this subject, we are closer to the ethic of the Nazis than we seem to realize.
