For some, a shift over the decades was done with great trepidation. Who can blame them? Almost everywhere you look there is evidence of a culture in crisis: Democrats vs. Republicans, traditional values vs. progressive political correctness.

Add to that the very real concerns regarding America's national security and the geopolitical unrest taking place throughout the world. Many people (even people of faith) have forgotten that God's laws never change.

This nation was founded on a belief in God and biblical principles, which have been under attack for years. For all practical purposes, America allowed the Supreme Court to rewrite the Constitution when they removed prayer from school. The justices based their decision on the constitutionality of prayer in schools on a clause that to that point had only been seen as a way to keep the government from dictating how people of faith were to worship.

Obviously political changes can lead to changed perspectives. I wonder if the justices had any idea what a Pandora's Box their decision opened up. After that came free speech for Hustler and Playboy magazines. Somewhere on the timeline following that decision, free love stepped onto the scene.

Free love was not without consequences and once again the court found another obscure meaning to the Constitution ruling that abortion was a woman's health issue and therefore right.

Forty-seven years after Roe v Wade, almost 60 million innocent lives have suffered the consequences of a "woman's right to choose."

For those who believe man was created in the image of God, abortion became the signature attack on the image of God in the world. For those who don't hold that worldview, the procedure has been sanitized and is being marketed as a "woman's health issue."

American has turned her back on God. The evidence is written in her laws and "we the people" have allowed it to happen.
