Introduction/Situation

Shortly after the 9/11 Terrorist Attack we were told that our US-American society is vulnerable to such attacks because we have lost much of the sense of community that was once such an integral part of our forefathers society.  In our quest for individual freedom, we have lost much of the sense of spontaneous community; spontaneous community participation, spontaneous community interaction, spontaneous community accountability, spontaneous community commitment, and spontaneous community responsibility key to their/our survival; as individuals, as a community, and as a nation.

The most fundamental issue that is polarizing our US-American society today is the lack of an attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life.  There seems to be a horrific selfish attitude of evil apathy growing in our nation that condones the premeditated, preferential murderous killing and chopping up (abortion, "harvest" of human embryonic stem cells, fetal tissue and infant organs) of innocent new unique unborn human life, for convenience, self preservation and/or profit. 

In the United States of America there have been, 40,000,000 atrocious abortions after Roe v Wade, and counting at the rate of about 4,000 per day.  According to the CNN November 2004 California Exit Poll, 73% of the voters who voted on the California Right to Conduct Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research/Utilization Proposition 71 professed to be Christian, an overwhelming majority.  Of all those who professed to be Christian,  55% manifested a lack of love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unborn human life by voting for legalized genocide of the unique unborn human personage group.  Even 42% of those "Christians" who "Attended Church Weekly" manifested the same lack of love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life, by voting not to preserve it.

It would seem that US-Americans as a society still have not found the system by which to bring about the restoration, preservation and furtherance of an attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life in our community, in our society. 

Around two thousands years ago, when another group of peoples were faced with an overwhelming issue of belief, too complex for comprehension and/or resolution of the individual, the people of Corinth were told of a system by which to resolve their fundamental differences. 

Like the police chief from Ceres said, in his recent article in the local newspaper, relative to gangs after the killing of one of his officer;  (to paraphrase) " . . . there are those in our community who "respect life" . . . and there are those who "do not".  Like the Abstinence Instructor said, (to paraphrase) ". . . the biggest frustration of the students is that their parents are not talking about loving and respecting the sanctity of unborn human life in their homes."
 
We have a community "gang task force" (an after the fact kind of approach) but we do not have a "community love and respect life task force" or even a love and respect life focus group, (a before the fact kind of approach), dedicated to the restoration, preservation and furtherance of an attitude of love and respect for life in our community!!! 
 
We have many organizations religious and secular that include "respect for life" as a fundamental unspoken foundation of what they are doing.   But, no one seems to be really willing to talk with each other about, what could really be done to restore, preserve and foster an attitude of "love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life"in our neighborhood,  in our community, in our society?
