The famous second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence opens by announcing this earth-shattering first principle: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” Our nation is obsessing over what that exactly means. Today’s culture wars are hampering our ability to focus on much of anything else other than sharp divisions over equity, inclusion, diversity, BLM, CRT, pronouns, and similar raging fronts. Likewise, a parallel fight about the meaning of the unalienable right of life is gripping the nation in our abortion wars.
