Yes, reasonable article, although still politically correct.
“Anyone who recognizes the humanity of the unborn should support the nomination of a justice who would help return this issue to the legislative arena.” True.
Let’s cut to the chase: every student and teacher at a Jesuit university must actively support Kavanaugh.
The only way abortion will be stopped in the USA is with the support of the Democratic Party.
It would need to see itself facing extinction.
The best argument that can be made that will be effective at changing minds is that abortion has cost Social Security trillions of dollars in lost revenue.
~$200,000 lost FICA/SE tax per dead baby on average
~50,000,000 dead babies
~$10 trillion in lost FICA/SE taxation revenue
But with regards to this editorial, they don't go feet-first into hellfire. And I bet they'll be slapped for it in the combox.
True, the left will grab anything they think can divide America, including this.
We have more important things to worry about right now.
Deal with that later.
So they are arguing for an expanded Welfare State, to bribe low income women from having abortion?
No. The welfare system needs to be dismantled.
Because both the Democratic and Republican Parties want it.
On abortion, everyone wants the ultimate "fix" to the human consequences of lawless, loveless copulation.
On illegal immigration, the Republicans want the cheap labor and the Democrats want the cheap votes.
Both parties need to be destroyed and remade from the ground up.
Give him time (and a couple million enthusiastic active supporters), and Trump may be able to accomplish quite a bit on the political front. On the spiritual front, God help us.
That's because nobody wants to attempt a thorough restoration of a Marriage and Family Culture. This is the only milieu in which babies can be safe, children can grow up sound, women can be respected and men can be the men God intended.
Restoration of marriage culture is the only viable long term solution, and the welfare state undermines that.
The thing is the vast majority of the children murdered in the womb were by liberal idiots who no doubt would have raised another burden on society and another lemming democrat voter. As much as I dislike it if it were not for Roe V Wade the US would have twice as many demwit voters.
My older son will tell you that abortion (among other social crimes against humanity) is an inevitable result of philosophical (classical) liberalism, in both its modern permutations: progressive liberalism (Democrats), and the “conservative” flavor of liberalism (Republicans).
He will tell you that liberalism (including both permutations) is condemned by the Church.
And thus, we social conservatives don’t really fit well with what are really libertarians (the “right” side of the right-left divide of philosophical, or classical liberalism). We will always be beggers at the table of a party driven by markets, commerce, and atomistic autonomy.
The Jesuits often have a bit of an inkling of this, but their solution is to ally themselves with the progressive, Democrat side of philosophical liberalism. But the Jesuits do pay well.
I wouldn’t get my hopes on Roe vs Wade getting overturned on a 5-4 decision. The Supreme Court would be reluctant to revisit a issue unless it had a “supermajority’ or at least one that had the chance of getting at least a equal amount of votes.
Roe vs Wade was decided by a 7-2 vote.
I don’t see the court deciding to overturn its decision unless it gets another two Trump conservatives to pound it into history so future 5-4 votes don’t overturn its verdict.
It’s sad but that’s my realistic prediction.
I’m pro-life, that said I think Roe vs Wade is not going to come up in the USSC in the next 10 years...The taking of a life is murder and the women needs to know the facts...if she doesn’t want the child, put it up for adoption. People are looking for babies to adopt and that’s why overseas adoption is popular...
Your son sounds like somebody I’d like to know.
Oh. In certain cases I meant to say "a 'prompt' peaceful death...
I think in the end we will not win by obvious power, position, political prowess, force. We will win when we are exhausted and battered and down on the ground, with nothing to hope in except God --- and then God drops the victory in our laps.
Most of his published work is not about politics, per se. A couple of years out of college, most of his published stuff is still from his editorial work on his college newspaper.
As convolutedly passed, that’s for sure.
Emancipate the unborn, to be born into their God given right of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness!
“Personhood” begins at implantation...with all of the unaliendable Creator-bestowed rights befitting every child of God!
