In a World of Evil

Rule of law is a precious thing. Nigerian police liberated a baby factory:

Human trafficking is widespread in west Africa, where children are bought from their families to work in plantations, mines and factories or as domestic help.

Others are sold into prostitution, and less commonly they are tortured or sacrificed in black magic rituals.

Don't tell me there isn't evil. This isn't about lack of opportunity or poverty. This is about forced pregnancies to create a product--a product for which there is a market, I'll add. A product that isn't considered a problem wherever they are sold. A product that is a human being denied humanity. So the evil is widespread.

Gosnell and various slavery houses with women held as sub-human property discovered here remind us that evil isn't something completely foreign.

If our civilization is to endure, we have to defeat evil.
