I have to admit, until this last weekend, I had never watched Duck Dynasty. I assumed it would be another dumb reality show. Of course, it is another dumb reality show. But, I like it. There is no cussing, no sex and no yelling. The characters have been married to their spouses for quite some time and there are many Christian undertones. I like it. It reminds me of.. well, people I know, good people.
The patriarch of this “Duck Dynasty” is Phil Robertson. He is a plain spoken man of few words. He recently gave a little talk on the culture of abortion.
“What in the world happened to us?”, Phil asks.
“Listen, from the time you started inside your mother’s womb, Thomas Jefferson had it right, you have the God-given right to life for crying out loud. You’re this long (pointing to his finger). You’re a week old inside your mother. They suck you out of there when you’re about like that (point to finger again). You wouldn’t be here tonight!
“And, when you got to be the size of my thumb, they suck you out. You wouldn’t be here. Then, you grow a little bigger, like my fist – and finally eight, nine months later you come out.
“And we debate whether it’s a – some woman’s right to tear you out of there a piece at a time! C’mon! You have a God-given right to live. And of all places, inside your mother – what in the world happened to us?”
