Abortion School Shooting Connection Reprise — Another school shooting occurred a few hours ago, this time at Santa Fe High School outside of Houston, Tx. At least eight are reported dead.
This sort of thing doesn’t happen as frequently in Europe some will note.
That Europe teaches a respect for life that we don’t, will not be noted.
We will again reprise our article regarding the abortion-school shooting connection that we first ran Oct. 2, 2015.
There have been 24 U.S. school shootings by our count of the list at Wikipedia involving five or more injuries or deaths since Anthony F. Barbaro shot passersby at random from a window at Olean (N.Y.) High School in 1974 killing three and wounding 11.
That, of course, has changed.There had been school massacres before, notably the University of Texas shootings by Charles Whitman in 1966 and the bizarre Bath Schooldisaster in 1927 in which a demonic school official spent months planting bombs in the building to maximize tragedy, but otherwise the violence was targeted and personal.
Yesterday (Oct. 1), an anti-Christian named Chris Harper-Mercer murdered nine — or 11 depending on the source — students at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., and wounded several others. Before the killing Harper-Mercer asked his victims their religion. Those who said “Christian” he shot in the head. Those who said otherwise he shot in the leg.
So what has caused this change in society? Was it access to guns? Access to guns were arguably easier before 1974 especially for youths. Barbaro was on his school’s rifle team.
So no, it is not access to guns.
What has changed, though, is our culture.
Our respect for life has disappeared.
We tell young men that protecting the innocent is no longer something they should aspire to do.
We have powerful people in government, media and academia shrug their shoulder at revelations of the weak and helpless being harvested for body parts. It’s worse than that actually. The actively defend the organization that does such monstrous things, and insist it be rewarded with public money.
We have state officials protecting mass murder if it is politically fashionable.
It isn’t a coincidence that the school shooting epidemic didn’t start until after our Supreme Court declared abortion to be a “right”.
We start holding once again that the existence of God is an axiom, and that we have individual rights granted by our Creator, and that the rest of us have an obligation to protect the rights of others, especially those that can’t defend themselves, the epidemic will end.
If we continue the path we are now on, things are going to get a lot worse.

Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit quote puzzle: Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.
