Unless you’ve been under a rock the last couple weeks, you know about Walter Palmer. He’s the man who killed Cecil the lion. Not just any lion, but a national treasure in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe has started extradition proceedings and hopes the U.S. will cooperate, said Oppah Muchinguri, the African nation’s environment minister. Walter Palmer “had a well-orchestrated agenda which would tarnish the image of Zimbabwe and further strain the relationship between Zimbabwe and the U.S.A.,” Muchinguri said. “This must be condemned in the strongest possible terms by all genuine, animal-loving conservationists who believe in sustainable utilization of natural resources.”

Let me state clearly that I see no point in killing the lion. There’s lots of fishy and stinky stuff going on here. This IS a big deal.

But over the last couple of weeks, three videos released by Planned Parenthood reveal the horror of what happens to aborted babies. Sick stuff. Predictable stuff. Once the murder of children in the womb is legalized, why wouldn’t a financial enterprise follow?

Some of the Planned Parenthood folks call us pro-lifers “extremists”.

Murdering children in the womb and doing it in such a way as to maximize the monetary value of the body parts and tissues seems evil and extreme to me.

I am truly sorry about Cecil – it was a tragic, painful, and unnecessary death.

Why is it so difficult to connect the dots between “what happens to Cecil if he’s not killed – he lives” and “what happens to life in the womb if it’s not murdered – he or she lives.”

Sick stuff.
