The second part of the book focused on differing philosophical positions which deny or give uniqueness and dignity to human life. The authors rooted their views in historic Christianity and, fundamentally, Whatever Happened to the Human Race? is a defense of the Judeo-Christian ethic as the foundation of Western civilization. It is a polemic based on the principle that human beings derive their value from having been created in the image of God.

The challenge of the book was directed primarily at Protestants (Evangelicals in particular), but at Christians in general, many of whom the authors believed had neglected to recognize the " unbreakable link between the existence of the infinite personal God and the uniqueness of human life." The continued silence and lack of involvement of this group were serving to fuel the decline of human significance.

Here is the episode on abortion:

Dr. C. Everett Koop noted that many have changed the Hippocratic oath and do not confirm it like they used to. Doesn't that put the weakest part of our society at risk?

Hey, Saline, think that might apply to disabled people in nursing homes, living on the skimpy remains of Medicaid before the godless Republicans pull the plug on them?

There is no tech park. Can we please get over the idea that LR is ripe for a tech park. There is UAMS moving across the freeway. It's not a bad idea.

And of course from the other side is this feigned indignation that the nasty slum is somehow beloved. They just want more money, commercial prices for commercial land. They should get it. Flake is getting his rake off. UAMS is getting a new building for pennies on the dollar. The po folks should get a taste as well. I know that part is new to LR, not screwing the little guy. But, it could happen.

The three At-Large Directors owe too much for their re-elections to buck the chamber (as if they ever would) and its sickening appendage the Tech Park.
 
Director Richardson still tries to protect all the citizens of Little Rock by taking away the Emanate Domain powers of the Tech Park board pillaging citizens with their won tax dollars.  If the Tech Park were to pick a west LR neighborhood, it too would be shielded by Director Richardson’s proposed ordinance.  When the issue came up Tuesday night, you could hear the crickets, not one board member spoke, even to debate it.
 
The University and Asher is the best site, size, location (shortest distance of all the site to the players UALR & UAMS), internet, price and can house new business today,  Dilks major complaint is a smoke screen, like UALR wouldn’t allow Tech Park employees to walk across the new athletic fields.
 
If the Tech Park throws the three sites out, then LOOK OUT Forest Hills!  Here comes the bulldozers!!!

Director Fortson as much as characterized that outcry as irrational. Director Kumpuris pushed through a smarmy resolution that some people considered a guarantee that neighborhoods would be spared. Mayor Stodola blocked action on Director Richardson's proposed ordinance to give the Kumpuris measure time to be manufactured and pushed through.

All this happened before the September 2012 election to renew capital improvement bonds and the elections for City Directors. Opponents to the Tech Park and other neighborhood advocates warned that the Kumpuris measure was a ruse, and that the Tech Park Authority, Chamber of Commerce, and their apologists on the City Board would zero in on low and moderate income neighborhoods this year.

Now the dire predictions of the people Director Fortson called "irrational" last summer appear to be coming true. Now, as then, those among us who openly questioned the concern Director Adcock professed to have for preserving neighborhoods again notice her refusal to back up her rhetoric with relevant helpful action. Now, as when opponents to the $500 million sales tax measure first said so, Little Rock's leaders are poised to use revenue generated from the sales tax to oppress low and moderate income people and enrich the wealthy. Now, Dr. Mary Good (UALR Chancellor Anderson's hand-picked designee for the Tech Park Board) is doing what we warned everyone she would do--act against the interests of neighborhood residents and rubber stamp whatever the City-subsidized Chamber of Commerce wants.

We told you so.

Director Ken Richardson's proposed ordinance is the best opportunity we have for preventing the destrucution and dislocation of mid-town neighborhoods. Little Rock residents should demand its passage.

The unborn are gaining visibility...(1).Discomfort has grown as such publications as Life, Newsweek, and Families feature cover photographs of perfectly formed unborn children (2) and articles run under headlines like “Surgery in the Womb” (3).The unborn child enjoys a greater visibility in our society. For instance, Williams Obstetrics, a standard textbook, remarks in its preface, “Happily, we have entered an era in which the fetus can be rightly considered and treated as our second patient” (4) (emphasis added). Objective, scientific data continue to bear eloquent witness to the citizenship held by these little ones in the human family.
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
(Proverbs 31:8)

The Presbyterian Church (USA) must choose between two paths: one of darkness and one of light. The path of light is the path of repentance for our complicity, direct and indirect, in the silent screams from mothers’ wombs which have surrounded us at the rate of 1,500,000 per year since 1973. The path of darkness is the path our denomination has walked with respect to abortion for close to two decades, now, as we continue to advocate a woman’s right to choose a painful death for her unborn baby.
