Well, you already know the arguments on this I think. Partial-birth abortion involves a fetus that essentially is a baby. It therefore is not ethical to destroy. An early fetus, however, is not anything like a baby. Just because it will grow up to be...  [Read More]

A sperm won't develop into a human unless it's fertilized an egg. Once that's occurred, it's a life. And if it's okay for a mother to kill her fetus, then why stop there? Why not allow partial birth abortion? Or even allow a mother to kill her child...  [Read More]

Or, instead of killing the child, they could *gasp* give it up for adoption!!!! Instead of having the baby live with parents who don't love it, give it to parents who do want it and will love it, and stop murdering unborn children! What I don't get...  [Read More]

Well, in my opinion, it's a bit disengenuous to argue whether he should be bishop because he's setting a bad moral example because of alcoholism - he's a gay bishop. He apparently didn't have a very good record for morality to begin with. If the cont...  [Read More]

Now it might well be that THIS TIME the authorities did restrict their spying to legitimate targets... but if they are bypassing the courts and the legal system to do so then there is no oversight. So next time it is possible that their target won't...  [Read More]

The President's so-called 'domestic spying' program has generated a lot of debate. I've heard arguments for both sides: that the program is legal under statute and used as a tool to fight terrorism, and that it is illegal and a restriction of civil l...  [Read More]

They may have been correct, but they weren't offered as some kind of tribute to Mrs. King - they were a stab at President Bush. This was a memorial service, not a political rally, yet these people were exploiting the opportunity to make political poi...  [Read More]

I agree that funerals shouldn't be rose-tinted affairs, but you need to look at the quotes themselves and make your own judgments. This (http://drudgereport.com/flash8.htm) was the first article that I saw about it, and it presents the information i...  [Read More]

Basically what it gets down to is that you accept evolution theory as fact just as I accept creation as fact. There is a lot of evidence for evolution, just as there is a lot of evidence for the existence of God (though I know you won't agree with me...  [Read More]
