In the decades leading up to one of the most horrific chapters in human history, the leading lights of the day openly discussed bringing about those horrors. Eugenics was posited as the rational position of all intelligent, well-meaning individuals. In journals, newspapers, academic conferences, public health offices and elsewhere, they talked about sterilizing people with or without their consent, segregating them from society, or even exterminating them. And that was in America.
One Issue Voting: Is Abortion a Holocaust?
| September 16, 2008 | Posted by Anthony under abortion, Blog, General |
For these reasons and more, I am a proud one issue voter. I am under no illusions about the other things I have to tolerate that I don’t like nor am I unaware that political candidates may decide to take advantage of this, opposing abortion with their lips but never acting. That is still better than voting for someone who with both lips and action perpetuate the American Holocaust.
Why we need to Start from Scratch in Abortion and Atheism without resorting to Presuppositionalism
| September 12, 2008 | Posted by Anthony under abortion, Blog, General |
One might think then that this is simply a question of shifting one’s presuppositions and evidence has nothing to do with it. Certainly assumptions have a lot to do with the matter. I think my point is that the question of abortion belongs in a different class than the question of atheism or theism. After one has decided where they stand regarding God, conclusions about abortion more or less follow. That doesn’t mean that one’s stand regarding God needs to rest only on assumptions!
Today’s Notes: Moral Equivalency on 9-11, Qualification: Did not have an Abortion, Pro-life Blogs
| September 11, 2008 | Posted by Anthony under abortion, Blog, General |
The South Carolina chairwoman of the Democrat party said yesterday that Sarah Palin’s “primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.” This has apparently inspired a firestorm but this is an observation that was made in the conservative camp already from the reverse: that in the liberal (feminist) mind, Sarah’s primary disqualification was that she hasn’t had an abortion.
Sarah Palin is proof that carrying your baby to term is not ‘punishment’ and does not destroy your life and keep you from succeeding as a woman. Sarah Palin has been described as the perfect example of the ‘American Taliban.’ This is moral equivalency writ large, moral sense perfectly unhinged.
Churches risk their Tax Exemption to Prove Connection Between Beliefs and Politics
| September 8, 2008 | Posted by Anthony under General |
This morning I woke up to a fascinating news report describing out the ADF is seeking churches to make political statements so that the IRS can penalize the churches, giving the ADF a vehicle to challenge the tax exemption requirement that such entities refrain from making political statements. This is the sort of ‘fighting fire…
On Being a Stay at Home Dad: Reflections on Todd and Sarah Palin
| September 5, 2008 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General |
The nomination of Sarah Palin raised all sorts of interesting issues and one that I found interesting was the role of her husband, Todd. There are some similarities between he and I. He had five kids, we have four. His wife works, as does mine. Our youngest child has special needs just like theirs is. …
Abortion, politics, apologetics: Observations on the conservative and liberal cultures
| September 2, 2008 | Posted by Anthony under abortion, Blog, General |
There is no dispute here that life begins at conception. The philosophical question has to do with when we believe that the entity is a person, and consequently entitled to the rights we ascribe to persons. There is no non-arbitrary objective measure other than conception by which to say “before there wasn’t, but now there is.” There is no place in the stages of pregnancy where one can say “Aha! Now it is a person!”
