Feigned concern by the Pro-Choice movement

I can't even begin to count the number of times I have heard a pro-abortion choice advocate justify abortion by offering what almost sounds like a compassionate plea on behalf of the child.  "Unwanted children", they say, "often grow up abused and neglected, and that is no life for a child.  That's … [Read more...]

Is our culture becoming more or less moral?

I think it's probably the norm for one generation to the next to believe the culture is in a state of moral decline. Of course this all depends on your worldview's standard of ethic. Depending on what you view as morally good and morally bad will shape how you view the moral direction of the culture … [Read more...]

The woman who objected to being likened to a prostitute, Sandra Fluke, sells herself to highest bidder

Contraception activist Sandra Fluke is having her "services" auctioned off .  The highest bidder will win a "strategy session" with Fluke to harness the tools of activism to help promote whatever agenda you need.  Fluke is captalizing  on her recent "person of the year" nomination by Time magazine … [Read more...]

Pro-choice hypocrisy: Halappanavar vs. Reaves

Every senseless death is a tragedy.  This being said, depending on one's perspective, rationale can be offered as to why one death is more tragic than another. Recent headlines mourn the unfortunate death of Savita Halappanavar, a 31 year-old woman who died apparently because she was denied an … [Read more...]

Why liberals will never be pro-life, Part 2

Not long ago I offered why I believe liberals will never be pro-life.  In the post I referenced President Obama's view that babies are punishments, and contraceptive activist Sandra Fluke who called babies barriers to success.  Well, recently I was in a debate which was recorded for the … [Read more...]

Debate: Is Abortion Murder?

Over the course of the past six weeks or so I had been engaged in a debate with Justin Sheiber of Reasonable Doubts, the topic of which is: "Is Abortion Murder?"  Justin sent me the invite through social media and I gladly accepted.  In many circumstances I might be hesitant to accept such an … [Read more...]

Good and Bad: My Outlook on the Next Four Years

OK, so after some time to let the dust settle and having dismantled the noose from my basement rafters, I think we can see some good news and bad news about the next four years.  I certainly don't think the hyper-Conservative outlook of America morphing into a North Korea-esque full on … [Read more...]

Who holds the responsibility for caring for children?

How have we gotten to a place where who actually has the responsibility to raise children has been assigned to someone other than the child's parents?  Take a look at a comment from a previous post: My problem with most conservatives is that their position is inconsistent. They are (typically) … [Read more...]

Why Liberals will never be pro-life

It's no surprise to anyone who follows the platforms of American political parties that nearly universally speaking, Liberals and Democrats are pro-choice when it comes to abortion.  But it wasn't until recently that I think I have stumbled upon why that is. We all remember -- well, those of us who … [Read more...]

Who’s to blame for single motherhood and abortion?

Note: I realize the following commentary may be controversial and seems to be backwards at first blush.  So while reading this please try to keep from 'reading between the lines', 'interpreting my views and arguing as though my view and your interpretation are identical', and trying to figure out … [Read more...]

Another Facebook dialogue on abortion

It's rare that I engage in an discussion on the social media site Facebook about abortion, but the other night it was unavoidable.  Well, kind of.  My personality is such that there are times where my self-imposed restraint is set aside in a situation where I think a clear line must be made.  The … [Read more...]

How do you determine rights?

Rights are kind of a tricky issue.  We have come a long way from the past where rights were fewer.  What I mean is today we seem to have more rights than in previous generations.  Put another way, rights are things we as citizens are entitled to in virtue of our citizenship, they're what we're owed. … [Read more...]

My Top Ten Favorite Posts

I had been thinking about doing a post like this for a little while now.  Here I've narrowed my top ten favorite posts from over the past three years.  In no particular order: What Gives You The Right? Many defenders of abortion go further than claiming elective abortion is a right, they claim it is … [Read more...]

God, killing, and abortion

It's my experience that many Atheists fault God for commanding the Israelites to kill peoples at His will.  As I have heard it, they believe God is quite the monster when he demands no men, women, nor children be spared.  Some Atheists have even described it as God commanding murder.  My point here … [Read more...]

Week in Review

Now just saying voter fraud is illegal is...wait for it...Racist An election-related billboard in Cleveland's Ward 5 has caused a stir, prompting some complaints that it discriminates against minority groups and felons.

Good people don’t do bad things

Ok, so as much as I hate to admit it, I watch reality shows with my wife.  One of her favorites is Rehab with Dr. Drew.  In past years, the series was a showcase of celebrities in need of rehab from drug and alcohol addictions.  This year however, the show puts ordinary people with the same problems … [Read more...]

Wally is too many people

Wally encapsulates a lot of people...too many.  We all know people like this, they have "strong" opinions on many things: Abortion, same-sex marriage, politics, and religion.  The problem is that they seem to be impervious to any reasoning whatsoever. Wallys don't like to argue about their … [Read more...]

Abortion provides no dignity to the pre-born

(Daily Mail) -- Nebraska’s new abortion law forced one woman  to give birth to her terminally ill, premature baby who she then helplessly held  dying in her arms. [...] With this heartbreaking information [that their baby would not survive] the couple decided to have an abortion to avoid the baby … [Read more...]

Whose Body Is It?

If I was to suppose as to the most popular defense of elective abortion, it would be some variation of bodily autonomy -- It's a woman's body to do with what she chooses.  A British woman made news by being sentenced to eight years for self-inducing a late-term abortion in order to hide an … [Read more...]

Life is a coin-flip for some

I'm not quite sure how to approach this issue so I'll just be blunt.  I don't see how blacks can so adamantly support Democrats given how pro-abortion the party is.  If you are black in America, your being born is virtually a coin-flip, and Liberal politicians seem to consider it their duty to … [Read more...]
