MUSINGS - An ancient price for convenience

Ahab said to Naboth, "Give me your vineyard to be my vegetable garden, since it is close by, next to my house. I will give you a better vineyard in exchange, or, if you prefer, I will give you its value in money."
Naboth answered him, "The LORD forbid that I should give you my ancestral heritage." (1 Kings 21:2-3)

When confronted by the enormity of the carnage that abortion on demand makes present each day in America, it is important to not to forget that from the days of the ancients men and women have been ready to commit murder in order to secure some convenience. In this sense, nothing much has changed. What is distinctive today is that we no longer have to get around the law to secure the convenience. In fact, securing convenience has become the objective of the law itself.
