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?

Prayer – Pitfalls to avoid

Have a great summer

I have decided that this will be my last post until September. Call it a vacation, call it a sabbatical, call it whatever you will, I will be taking a break.

You are the salt – Part 2

These verses should inform our idea of what it means to be salt in the world. Do we work for economic justice? Do we work for social justice? Do we work to bring physical and spiritual healing to those we encounter? Do we proclaim the good news of Jesus?
