McDonnell OKs abortion regulations – Comment on a Washington Times Article

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

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?

If some could witness the miracles of Jesus and remain unconvinced and unconverted, we would be foolish to think that everyone will respond to our presentation and defense of the Gospel. The will overrides the intellect when dealing with matters of faith and world view. If the lack of response is an indication of failure, it is a failure that Jesus also experienced.

That pesky sense of oughtness

That pesky sense of oughtness seems to keep creeping in, even in those who say it doesn’t exist. This is the dilemma of the materialist. It is this sense of right and wrong that has caused many to explore the claims of Jesus Christ.
