Mississippi to vote on worst anti-abortion amendment yet.
Mississippians will soon be voting on whether to extend the definition of “person” to the moment of conception. Initiative 26 asks: Should the term “person” be defined to include every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the equivalent thereof? (LINK) The most glaring and frightful consequence of such a sweeping change is … Continue reading
Abortion: It’s Not Really About Murder
I’ve been doing some thinking about the anti-abortion position, and asking myself some basic questions: What do anti-abortionists say they believe? What do anti-abortionists do? Are these two things consistent? As far as I can tell, what they do and what they say are at odds. Either they do not really believe abortion is murder, … Continue reading
Jilted Lover Embarrasses Ex with Anti-Abortion Billboard. This is Going to Be Messy.
A New Mexico man decided to take out his grief publicly. He paid for a billboard depicting himself holding a blackened baby-shape. The caption reads “This Would Have Been a Picture Of My 2-Month Old Baby If The Mother Had Decided To Not Kill Our Child!” Originally, the billboard was approved by the New Mexico chapter of Right … Continue reading
Congress Eliminates Funding for Teaching Abortion
The latest in a seemingly endless series of assaults on Roe v. Wade is a bill passed by Congress which cuts government funding to any institution teaching how to perform abortions.

To ensure that taxpayers complied with the law, IRS agents would have to investigate whether certain terminated pregnancies were the result of rape or incest. (LINK) Make no … Continue reading
Christians: Unethical Roe v Wade Assault
How do you go about making abortions impossible to get if you disagree with Roe v. Wade? Here are a few ways: Require women to receive “counselling” before receiving an abortion. Then, make sure not to open any offices where they could receive their state-approved counselling. That’s what North Dakota did. Refuse to protect abortion … Continue reading

America’s Religious Blackmail Abroad
When I wrote about the Jimmy Carter Center’s Forum on Religion, Belief, and Women’s Rights, I raised the philosophical concern that the religious aren’t willing to examine their own shortcomings. In a follow-up article, I summarized the Biblical position on women’s rights. Today, I’d like to call your attention to a real world implementation of … Continue reading
Religion and Politics: Musings
I hope you’ll forgive me a little diversion today. I’ve been tossing around some thoughts about the current state of politics and religion in America, and thought it might help clarify things by putting them down in print. Here’s a blog post I found over the weekend. It’s a neat idea: List what the Republicans … Continue reading
