Oprah Winfrey, after viewing "Leaving Neverland," has admitted that Michael Jackson sexually abused kids, and condemned that. Good for her. I don't care for Oprah personally, but when she's right she's right and her stand WILL cost her, I'm sure, with those who say she's betraying a fellow black person.
In recent years, celebs like Oprah have commented on cases like the Penn State situation, the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal, and others and they have always sided with the now-grownups who say they were abused as children. I hope this is the start of a trend that will lead them to speak up for the ULTIMATE example of child abuse...namely, Abortion.
Aborted kids don't get to grow up and eventually speak out about how THEY were "mistreated," you see. They don't get to eventually expose their murderers. As horrible as sexual abuse is, and despite the unimaginable scars it leaves, there is at least the HOPE of eventual recovery. But when a child is aborted (or, now, murdered after birth, even), there is no recovery for the child. Maybe celebrities will begin to speak out FOR them, as their voices are being terminated BEFORE they can speak. (Of course, it's hard for anyone to speak against a practice they believe in...but that's a whole 'nother "Chetitorial.")
In my blog of Jan. 28th of this year, I expressed the hope that "Leaving Neverland" will end the idolatry of Michael Jackson in America and elsewhere. Now that OPRAH has spoken up to admit that Michael was indeed, as his song says, a "Smooth Criminal," I'm hoping even more than THAT will come of it all. It's a start, but I pray for even MORE...I hope Oprah's stand will have a "domino effect" and cause many to evaluate, and condemn, Abortion...The Ultimate Child Abuse.
