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?

Not Yet

Living in the Not Yet

There are many places in Scripture where the phrase “how long, oh Lord” is expressed. This phrase exhibits a longing for change and protection. As I listen to news of the day I connect with this sentiment. There is much in our world that appears out of control and evil seems to win the day […]

DNC

The night God was booed

At the DNC, it was announced that the word God was added back to the party platform. The change was booed by the delegates. How should we respond?

Relevant

On the pursuit of relevance

So while I think there is nothing inherently wrong with wailing guitar solos and smoke machines as part of the worship experience, perhaps we should pump the brakes on the drive to make worship like a rock concert and the sermon like a motivational seminar.

Stony Heart

Living in the not yet: dealing with a stony heart

So living in the not yet, we struggle with the pieces of the world (including ourselves) that are not in submission to Christ. That is the bad news.

The good news is that one day Jesus will return and set everything right, including my stony heart.

Time To Listen

Racism, Christians and the NFL – For what it’s worth . . .

Rather than fueling the divide between people, Christians should be at the forefront of those who are trying to bring peace and reconciliation. Listening before sharing opinions, would be a good start toward bringing this about.
