Eagles and Babies

Yesterday in Missouri a farmer found a wounded bald eagle on his property. The eagle had been shot and later died from its wounds despite efforts by wildlife officials. They are now searching for the culprit who could receive up to a $250,000 fine and two years in prison. While I am a nature lover and this absolutely appalled me when I heard it early this morning, I found I couldn’t help but think about a tragic irony. There are multitudes of people who feel the same way I do about the unlawful death of that protected bald eagle, but celebrate those who perform abortions—or keep them legal. They “nobly” call it pro-choice. I call it spiritual insanity. God calls it sin.
