hmmmmm, study the stats Bill. your wrong. teen pregnancy rose rapidly
shortly after the 40's and 50's. in fact, i have a number of interesting
charts plotted and continue to plot them (having been a political activist
orginating in the 50's). the incline in teen pregancy began shortly after
1962 and rose rapidly, as did both minor and severe crime. also on the rise
after that date was child abuse, spousal abuse, and rape. perhaps the
sharpest rise in the history of reported statistics was murder in the usa
after 1962. any idea what happened in 1962?
read on to find out . . .
coming up next . . .
1962 prayer was removed from schools by enactment of law. and btw, until
the 1980's over 80% of all supreme court decisions referrenced the Bible as
a source of reference in handing down legal decision. shortly thereafter,
the unchurched law decided that it was OK to kill little boys and little
girls through what is termed "abortion" but in moral law it is called
MURDER. and now that our country is allowing the baby to be born out of the
womb and then kill it, morality will certainly change.
Bob Ford is right, morality HAS CHANGED siginficantly worse since Man became
his own God and threw God out of our schools, our legal system, and our
minds. watch what happens in the next few decades as homosexuality and
injustice continue without a Supreme Being at the head of our morality.
