Does Bart Stupak Read the News?
If so, he and all his enablers (you know, those allegedly "pro-life, pro-Obamacare" types) should be reading this and doing a whole lot of breast beating and repenting in sackcloth and ashes. But somehow, I'm not holding my breath....
Department of Information--Who You Gonna Trust?
And hard on the heels of my post below on totalitarian leftists who want the government to establish our facts for us comes the news that Elena Kagan, when she was in the Clinton administration, wrote language for the supposedly...
Choice devours itself--Forced abortions for minors
Long-time readers will be familiar with my interest in the "choice devours itself" phenomenon. (See here and here.) Briefly, a "choice devours itself" incident occurs when liberals connive at or turn a blind eye to coercion in one of the...
In praise of obscurantism
A follow-up on my previous post: The widespread practice of deliberate screening for birth defects is a bad thing. Now that I've gotten everyone's attention... No, it is not intrinsically wrong to find out before your child is born that...
Not quite right
Here's an odd and interesting post arguing against post-abortion ministries like Silent No More and the Abortion Changes You ad campaign on the grounds that they contribute to our society's elevation of emotion over reason and reality on the issue...
Infanticide
Page Peter Singer. Or Steven Pinker. They ought to live in Virginia. And I like Virginia. But this is horrible. I just learned from this story that under Virginia law a mother may commit active, violent infanticide against her newborn...
No content-neutral perception of ideology
In my recent interview with James Allen on his show, we got to discussing what it means to be an ideologue. I had an inkling from James ahead of time that this question might come up (big revelation), and as...
One good, one bad
You have probably read elsewhere in the blogosphere the good, indeed joyous, news that a director of a Planned Parenthood facility in Texas has resigned, citing a "conversion," though apparently she already considered herself a Christian and means only a...
63-year-old pro-lifer gunned down; local teen says punching him would have been sufficient
By now I'm sure my readers know about the double murder in my state of Michigan yesterday. Suspect Harlan Drake allegedly confessed to police that he had a list in his head of three people he intended to kill. One...
Would Obamacare pay for abortions?--Updated (see below the fold)
Yes, we all know that the Senate may change the landscape of the health care debate radically. But for the moment, what I mean by "Obamacare" is the bill presently on the table, HR3200, along with the Capps Amendment much...
Wrongful birth suits are back
Now we're back to what's wrong with the world, I'm afraid. Wesley J. Smith (whose blog I have to catch up on now that I'm back) reports that an Oregon couple is suing because they didn't find out their baby...
More on Boston Caritas Christi and abortion
Here's some follow-up to this post. Boston's Catholic charity has apparently made a partnership with another company, CeltiCare. CeltiCare's representative Brian Delaney has definitely confirmed, as of May, that the program will provide "family planning services as appropriate." (Unfortunately, there...
The things which belong unto thy peace
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, saying, "If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! But now they are hid from...
"Nobody is Pro-Abortion"
Ever hear that one? You know, no one is for abortion. No, no. It should be safe, legal, and rare. It's a sad thing, a tragedy. All the lefties are merely pro-choice. Don't you understand? Well, the next time someone...
Stanley Fish--Still one of the bad guys, big-time
Several readers have written me e-mail asking me to blog on the Obama administration's apparent plan to revoke the Bush federal conscience protection rule, put into place late in the Bush administration, which protects health-care professionals against discrimination if they...
Coercion for doctors to come to California?
I described here a new law in Australia which has passed and which requires all doctors to provide referrals for abortions. Now a possibly even more radical law has been introduced in California. It has not passed, and it is...
Money Corrupts
Especially government money. Via Scott at Romish Graffiti comes the story of a Catholic agency in Boston--administered by the Archdiocese, no less--that has made a deal with the devil: They were awarded a state contract to provide medical services to...
Liberalism, Abortion, and Natural Law - Following Up
Purely for the sake of clarifying an earlier post, in which I objected to a rather vehement critique of a neoconservative's commentary on abortion, I would like to offer an observation about two rival visions of ethical and political thought,...
Liberalism, Abortion, and Community - a Note
Thomas Fleming, the editor of _Chronicles_ and president of The Rockford Institute, has posted a new column flaying George Weigel, noted cafeteria Catholic as regards Just War doctrine, over the latter's commentary on Pope Benedict's chastisement of Nancy Pelosi, noted...
Population control Nazis in the news again
This story came out a couple of weeks ago, and it was so bad that I couldn't think of anything to say about it. (That does happen sometimes.) Of course, anyone with sense knows that the "global warming" spin is...
Two Scotts with two great lines
We bloggers are sometimes sad borrowers. For purposes of this post, I abandon all claim to originality and simply pass on to you two things I have seen recently that deserve a wider audience. W4 reader Scott W., writing on...
Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, 1936-2009
Fr. Richard John Neuhaus died this morning just before 10 a.m. Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord, and may light perpetual shine upon him. And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in...
FOCA forcing with federal funds
I had a brief discussion with commentator msb in an earlier thread about the question of how, exactly, the so-called Freedom of Choice Act could be used to force hospitals and doctors to be complicit in abortion. My only question...
Where's my referral?
I have reported earlier on the new law in Victoria, Australia, that mandates that any doctor who has conscientious objections to abortion refer women who consult him on the subject to a doctor who has no such objections. There seems...
New blog by a pro-life physician
An e-mail correspondent just sent me news of this new blog by Eric Telfer, a physician with whom I have corresponded to my profit in years past. It looks good. (He appears to have comments disabled.) Warning: Disturbing abortion-related picture...
Time for Civil Disobedience in Victoria, Australia
Most pro-lifers are familiar with the argument that there is no such thing as being called upon to disobey the current abortion regime in the United States, because the current abortion regime doesn't require anyone to participate in an abortion....
"Life Lies: Barack Obama and Born-Alive." By David Freddoso
From today's National Review Online....
Writing and voting for abortion laws with exceptions
If and when, God willing, that blot on the moral and legal landscape Roe v. Wade is fully overturned and the states are free once more to protect unborn babies, what sort of legislation may pro-lifers write or vote for?...
What is a vote?
Zippy has raised the above question in a post on his blog. Over a year ago I had firmly intended to write a post on this topic to convince conservatives not to vote for Rudy Giuliani. As the Giuliani issue...
Gaseous Clouds of Self-Deception
It is not a frequent occurrence for me to find myself in agreement with David Frum. Nevertheless, when Frum writes of Doug Kmeic, a pro-life supporter of Obama, that he has descended into sheer foggy unintelligibility, I am compelled to...
PRI continues to help innocents in China
As Jupiter could be hidden from all-devouring Time, as the Christ Child could be hidden from Herod--so the child unborn is still hidden from the omniscient oppressor. He...alone is left; and they seek his life to take it away. G.K....
