LilAngel pings us to a fascinating topic, one which would surely, as LilAngel notes, be of great interest to T'wit.

A recent AP news report has concluded, after compiling the results of numerous studies over the years, that there is a strong and disturbing link between severe child abuse and non-traditional family environments. In the article' words:

"[Scholars and caseworkers] note an ever increasing share of America's children grow up in homes without both biological parents, and say the risk of child abuse is markedly higher in the nontraditional family structures."

I am not sure what is going over at the progressive AP, but the report's conclusions demonstrate in utterly stark terms a fundamental truth that conservatives have held dear since the time of Aristotle (or, if you are from China, since at least the time of Confucius): Natural Law. I was told once by a very smart professor that Aristotle was much smarter than I was, and he was right. He also told me that Aristotle would resurface every now and then, in the form of nature, to remind us in often ugly ways, of our excesses, and of our proper limits. We know, for example, that study after study demonstrates a link between abortion and depression, and abortion and suicide. We also know now that there are studies showing strong connections between abortion and breast cancer. Aristotle's great Christian interpreter, St. Thomas Aquinas, argued that divorce was also unnatural, and that two parent families were natural:

There’s a report called “Bloody Harvest” compiled by two Canadians detailing the theft of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners to supply China’s lucrative organ transplant industry.

Pardon my not using html. If I make the above quote italics, which is easy enough, then I have to use an html code for the link, which is not so easy. I can’t copy/paste, so I might have made some typos in transcribing. Please just pretend not to notice. Go read the rest of it. There’s some important stuff there.

Thanks for the ping. I forgot my thread. This thread is also noteworthy, IMHO, even if I didn’t read all of the comments.
