Something noteworthy is happening in the mainstream media. First, The Los Angeles Times ran a story that, in all its horrible brutality, attempted to defend a couple’s decision to kill selected fetuses in the woman’s womb by means of what is euphemistically called “selective reduction.” The article was chilling in its cold honesty and grotesque morality.

In the aftermath of disaster, a phenomenon called the “blame game” often soon rears its head. The impulse to assign moral responsibility is normal — even healthy — but the game often plays itself out in irrational ways.

My article responding to the Virginia Tech tragedy is found at “On Faith,” sponsored by The Washington Post and Newsweek magazine.

I posted a major new commentary today, one that is very personal and based on reflections about my recent health crisis. “Lessons Learned in a Crisis of Life” can be found here.

Jenni Murray has made her pact with death. The popular and controversial presenter of “Woman's Hour,” a popular program on the BBC, stated her views on a recent television program called “Don't Get Me Started,” broadcast in Great Britain. Murray, who is a member of the Order of the British Empire, announced on the program that she had entered into a “suicide pact” with two friends who agreed to kill each other if illness or incapacity should leave them unable to commit suicide. Today, Dr. Mohler considers the worldview that would lead to such an understanding of human life–and human death.
