Although I am personally opposed to the practice, I do not want to impose my moral values upon others. So if someone else wants to hunt lions, then who am I to judge? My motto is: If you don\u2019t like lion killing, then don\u2019t kill one.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>OK, you can exhale now. You really do want to check out the link to this in the show notes. The other 9 \u201creasons\u201d do basically the same thing; turn <i>abortion<\/i> pro-choice arguments on their head and expose the inverted priorities of a society that values the life of a lion in a country they probably couldn\u2019t pick out on a map, over the millions of babies killed since Roe v Wade. I call them \u201cbabies\u201d because that\u2019s what Planned Parenthood calls them when referring to their organs, harvested for profiteering. Also, because that\u2019s what they are.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and in the 3 weeks from the beginning of the release of those videos exposing Planned Parenthood, the media have reflected, and some might say \u201csupported\u201d or \u201cegged on\u201d, those inverted priorities. During that time, the 3 broadcast networks spent <a href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/katie-yoder\/2015\/08\/05\/3-week-mark-nets-spend-92-minutes-cecil-lion-20-minutes-abortion-videos\" target=\"_blank\">92 minutes on Cecil the Lion<\/a>, and 20 minutes on the videos and subsequent political fallout.
