One Country's Rejection of a Previously Accepted Evil

Every country has segments of its history that few, if any, of its citizens are proud of. Although it goes without saying that America has much more to be proud of than ashamed of, America is definitely no exception to the rule, as we do indeed have our own miserable segments of National history.

As I read this story about the man who recently tore the head off a new wax sculpture of the heinous German leader Adolf Hitler, the fact that "it is illegal in Germany to show Nazi symbols and art glorifying Hitler," caught my attention and reminded me that any nation guilty of accepting evil at one point in its history can still choose to reject that evil.

It is my constant hope that one day, all Americans will look back and say, "It is a good thing that we ended the Accepted Evil of abortion in our country, and closed that dark chapter of our history." Just as many Germans do with regard to Nazism, and fortunately, just as most Americans already do with regards to things like genocide, slavery, and segregation.
