Color of Chaos

Nov 7, 2022John StonestreetLGBTLGBT

In the age of the internet, it is said that no parody is too ridiculous for at least someone to take seriously. These days, however, the opposite is true too. Serious content can seem like parody.

For example, Microsoft’s new “pride flag” background features hundreds of bars of random color interspersed with symbols burst from the center of the image like a psychedelic trip through hyperspace. The company boasts that it combines the flags of “40 LBGTQIA+ communities” and that it is an open template to which anybody can add more colors and symbols.

Transgender, “genderfluid,” “abrosexual,” “polysexual,” and “genderflux” are just a few of the identities represented, and “chaos” is a good description of the ideology behind them all. Many have nothing in common except for a rejection of the created sexes and marriage.

Just like an ideology that affirms everything, a flag that affirms everyone’s ideas about gender and the body ends in self-parody and as a source of headaches.

Why Fentanyl is Killing So Many Americans

Over 100,000 people in the United States died from drug overdoses and poisonings last year. Of those deaths, around 70% were from synthetic opioids, such as Fentanyl. In 2021, Texas law enforcement seized around 342 million lethal doses of fentanyl, enough to kill every man, woman and child in the United States.

Samantha Aschieris of The Daily Signal argues that responsible actors, like China, need to be held accountable for their malicious relationship with Mexican drug cartels. The Biden administration’s seemingly open border policies have only exacerbated the flow of these deadly narcoastics into the U.S.

Mobile Death

According to NPR, Planned Parenthood will soon be sending out “mobile abortion clinics,” buses outfitted to provide abortion services on wheels. Initially, the buses will only provide consultations and medication, but the hope is to offer surgical abortions by the end of next year. 

Abortion activists have criticized mobile crisis pregnancy centers for years. It’s tempting to say that, in this case, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but the stakes are simply too high for that. Planned Parenthood portrays itself as being about women’s health, but their commitment to selling and performing abortion is what drives so much of their profit and their strategy.

The fight to defend life continues, on the ground, in every neighborhood, with individuals at risk. If we want to see a culture of life advance, we’re going to have to continue to show up … you can be sure those pushing abortion will.
