McDonnell OKs abortion regulations – Comment on a Washington Times Article

Posted on January 1, 2012 Written by Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment


abortion is not a political issue

What strikes me about this article is that abortion proponents seem to care more about population control, eugenics or sexual freedom than they do about women’s health. Yet they persist in claiming that the issue is all about caring for women.  Abortion proponents often demonize the opposition as not caring about the health of women.

Here is the link to the article: McDonnell OKs abortion regulations – Washington Times.

My question is, why would you not want to have abortion clinics conform to the same standards that other surgery centers must attain? I would think that a major surgery such as an abortion would require as much care as any other procedure.

Are the abortion proponents contradicting themselves or am I missing something?

Springsteen

No retreat baby and no surrender – Inspired by Bruce Springsteen

The Bruce Springsteen song “No Surrender” inspired some thoughts about what is worthy of such dogged pursuit by the believer. See what the Apostle Paul and C. S. Lewis have to say in relation to this.

Fork in the Road Sign

The People Began to Scatter

I see in humans (principally in myself), an amazing ability to find good reasons to do the wrong thing. We (perhaps I am alone in this, but I think not) can muster arguments to do what we want even if it is not what we know is right.

Du Jour

The danger of Method-Du-Jour thinking

Some church does something. It appears to be successful based on attendance numbers. Others then seek to find the method or program that was used to generate the good result. We shorten the sermon, use video feeds, turn up the music, redesign the décor, or hire consultants to try to produce similar results.

Wheat and Tares

Which are wheat and which are tares?

My experience is that sometimes there are people who have come to faith in such a gradual way, that it may be difficult to distinguish wheat from tares. What if the delay is not to only protect the wheat but to allow the harvesters to more accurately identify the tares.

Remember the real enemy – it may not be who you think

1 Peter 5:8 tells us that our real enemy is the devil who prowls around looking for those he can devour. Unfortunately we, as church members, sometimes aid him in his devouring.
