I won’t look, I won’t discuss–I approve!

August 8, 2008 by Andrea Mrozek Leave a Comment

Abortion is best approved of in the dark, not in the light of day, where full and open debate might turn the public against it.

This article discusses Democrats versus Republicans–Barack Obama and Catholics–on abortion. Abortion is not like war, or capital punishment, says the author. He also highlights Obama’s position:

In the particular case of Barack Obama, their case is an even greater mess. Bill Clinton, the last Democratic president, frustrated the will of the U.S. Congress by refusing to sign legislation outlawing partial-birth abortion. Even though this procedure means — just before a full delivery — puncturing the head of the infant so that the brains may be suctioned out, Obama, as an assemblyman in Illinois, took the same position here as the Clintons did: in favor of this grim procedure. Worse still, Obama strongly spoke out in opposition to legislation to disallow abortionists from putting to death infants who survived a first attempt at abortion.  

How do you soften that position–make it more palatable? You can’t.

Bad moment in history to be parents of teenagers

May 4, 2008 by Rebecca Walberg Leave a Comment

From NRO:

1 in 4 teenaged girls has a sexually transmitted disease. On the same day that story came out, newspapers reported another study showing that 17 percent of middle-school students had used alcohol within the past year, and 6 percent had been drunk within the past month. A previous study had shown that 47 percent of eighth graders have had alcohol, 20 percent had done so in the last month, and 12 percent had consumed “five or more drinks in a row in the previous 2 weeks.”

The author goes on to point out signs of a recurrence of the tiniest smidge of sexual morality, such as the phrase “walk of shame” to describe the act of going home from an overnight date in clothing that makes the evening’s conclusion obvious.  I don’t know that I agree; the fact that the phrase is so prevalent indicates that this behaviour isn’t unusual.
