President Obama delivers stunning pro-life address
January 21, 2013 by 2 Comments
This Youtube video laying President Barack Obama's words on the Newtown shooting as the background to a Pro-Life message is quite poignant. It never ceases to amaze me how the president and those of his pro-abortion ilk can speak in this fashion about children outside the womb, and yet so heartless … [Read more...]

To abortion choice supporters: what could make you believe abortion was morally wrong? "If X were true, I would change my view on abortion." Fill in the X. For me, if it would be proven that at any point from conception to birth, the thing is not a living human being, I would not oppose elective … [Read more...]
Men shouldn’t comment on abortion?
January 18, 2013 by 21 Comments
From Nuking Politics: When confronted with the nonsensical argument that I should not be allowed to comment on abortion because I don't have a uterus, I like to respond, "Unless you've been an unwanted, unplanned fetus, YOU have no right to comment on abortion." I still remember the first time … [Read more...]
Why might someone doubt climate change is man-caused?
January 18, 2013 by 42 Comments
Is the science settled? Or are there real reasons one might doubt the settledness of the Green™ movement? The debate about climate change and its impact on polar bears has intensified with the release of a survey that shows the bear population in a key part of northern Canada is far larger than … [Read more...]
Let’s talk climate
January 17, 2013 by 43 Comments
Ordinarily I don't read RedState.com, but they had a couple reader questions there I'd like to pose to my audience. I am not convinced that any warming which may be taking place (even though reports now show no warming in at least 16 years) is the result of human intervention. As I come across … [Read more...]

If personhood was so important…
January 14, 2013 by 35 Comments
I mean to ask in what facet of life other than the topic of abortion do we consider the distinction between person and human being to be of any material consequence. It seems that this person/human being distinction is important (even to pro-choicers) only when discussing abortion. For example (and … [Read more...]
Is abortion a religious issue?
January 11, 2013 by 17 Comments
When discussing abortion I sometimes run into someone who will accuse the Prolife advocate of trying to impose their religious view on women. It seems to me that when the Pro abortion choice defender offers this criticism because they believe that somehow invalidates any argument made in favor of … [Read more...]
Pro-Life or Anti-Abortion?
January 10, 2013 by 16 Comments
Sometimes, but not often, I have someone on the pro-abortion choice side of the issue want to make this distinction. Within the debate, as far as it concerns me, anti-abortion and pro-life as labels are distinctions without difference. I will proudly admit I'm anti-abortion. Recently, however, … [Read more...]
The war on women continues
January 9, 2013 by 19 Comments
Someone in the religious community just said publicly: If women get raped, it's their own fault if they're not dressed right. Two voices are suspiciously silent: The liberal media who spent months reporting on the supposed war on women, and the slut walk sluts [said with tongue firmly in cheek]. … [Read more...]

Should we regulate “dangerous” weapons, or “dangerous” people”?
January 4, 2013 by 106 Comments
This should be the last post on guns and gun control for some time, barring any compelling news on the subject. People recognize there is a violence problem in America, well, not really, the number of violent crimes have been on the decline for years.

What are guns for?
December 31, 2012 by 196 Comments
King of the Walrus People, Michael Moore's twitter message is a common rejoinder to those making the argument that if someone wants to kill someone else, guns aren't necessary. For example, baseball bats, cars, knives, anything really can be misused for harm just like … [Read more...]
The poor [white] children
December 20, 2012 by 21 Comments
The inevitability of the politicization of the Newton massacre was as sure as the sun rising this morning. What isn't as certain is the true sincerity of those calling for more gun control in the wake of this horrible tragedy. Why do I say this? Murders happen all the time, so where's the daily … [Read more...]
