Vote for Life.

Portions of a letter by Barbara Nicolosi:

It is proof of the complete triumph of the civil rights movement that the group that was once oppressed now gets to declare another group subhuman so as to nullify their civil rights.

Don’t kid yourself. Abortion ain’t just one more issue on the horizon anymore than slavery was in the 19th Century, or anti-Semitism in Germany in the 1930’s. There were certainly other issues in 1858. There were economic problems and international disputes – but the truth is, today, we remember none of those other issues. Slavery was the DEFINING issue in the same way that abortion is today…

Consistency

I frequently read Len Munsil’s blog. A couple weeks ago he wrote this:

According to the New York Times:

Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic nominee for vice president, departed Sunday from party doctrine on abortion rights, declaring that as a Catholic, he believes life begins at conception. But the Delaware senator added that he would not impose his personal views on others, and had indeed voted against curtailing abortion rights and against criminalizing abortion.

This is the worst and most inhumane of all positions on abortion. Those who argue that what occurs in a mother’s womb is nothing but a blob of tissue until, at birth, it magically becomes a human child are wrong as a matter of science, reason and ethics. But at least they are consistent when they conclude that their “blob of tissue” can legally be removed and destroyed.
For someone to conclude that a human life is at stake, as Biden does, but then refuse to prevent the taking of that human life is beyond morally reprehensible. It is the height of political cowardice, hidden under the dismissive, politically correct nod to enlightened tolerance — being unwilling to “impose his values” on others.
I couldn’t agree more.
