Huckabee’s Divisive Argument Against Abortion

Mike Huckabee appeared on The Daily Show last week to discuss the touchy subject of abortion, and Stewart brought out what I find most annoying about the pro-life argument.

Two Hands

This is a comparison of the personal convictions of two people.  On the one hand, we have Dr. George Tiller.  He was a doctor who worked for what he believed was the good of his patients in a quiet and unassuming way.

The Republican Womb Patrol [updated]

I saw a post today, Say good bye to your wombs, gals, you no longer control them. The Republican party does, on the liberal blog The Daou Report, referring of course to the imminent confirmation of Judge Alito and the suspected future overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Virginia Bills Under Consideration

In my effort to learn more about local and state politics, I've been perusing some of the new bills that the Virginia General Assembly will be discussing, and I came across this interesting gem: From our good friend and Catholic police state advocate Bob Marshall, of the recent Marshall/Newman Amendment fame, comes a new bill proposing to automatically make abortion illegal in Virginia if Roe v.

A Skirmish In The War On Culture [updated]

Fighting in the Culture War is pretty draining. I've been having a "debate," if you can call it that, with a person on the Blog of Daniel comment boards.

Introducing: The Party Afraid Of Death

I was reading this yesterday: A Q&A with Ramesh Ponnuru on The Party of Death. While perusing the author's pro-life remarks, a complementary Republican party nickname occurred to me: The Party Afraid Of Death. It seems fitting. Ponnuru appears to be against anything that might result in death, as if death is somehow unnatural and beneath human dignity. Almost like he believes we've evolved to the point where death, like the flintlock rifle, is obsolete.

Brent:

Your analysis picks on irrelevant points. What matters is doctrine, particularly as described by the early Christians. Thus a much more effective analysis is here:
