[maranta]

I like this article because it sums up what's wrong with some of the most common arguments for abortion we've all heard

This is brilliant.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have heard the "Don't like abortion? Don't have one!" line so many times I can't even begin to estimate how much it has been said to me. In fact, somebody said it to me two days ago. I always tell people it's not that simple, but they always shoot back with "yes it is," and I've always had a difficult time trying to explain this to them. I'll be sure to cite this article in the future. I'm interested in reading the entirety of Mr. Klusendorf's book.

Moral relativism is something I just cannot handle. It makes me want to kill people...

Is none ashamed of the blood-drenched holocaust vocabulary used so cynically (and anti-semitically) to whip up fervor for the crusade? Where are the outspoken cries of conscience by bishops and cardinals who should be appalled by the evidence of links between anti-abortion fanatics and far-right militias, neo Nazis, and white supremacists? Is there no religious leader who regrets his church's role in feeding this blind frenzy?

Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?
