Re: Catholic hospitals and FOCA

Re: something that is never mentioned
HA! You've fallen for the hype that ''It's just a blob of tissue.'' of ''A bunch of cells.'' But let's just assume (for a moment) that this is true (as you think) during the first trimester. Are you then in agreement that abortion is wrong in subsequent trimesters? Here's a link about fetal development ...

Vintage Hitchens destroys Gov Palin's remains
Mr Hitchens warns us of his ire with the 2 year campaign in his 1st sentence which goes far from being soured gastric juices. A manufacturing chemist who works daily with the most toxic compounds will identiy the composition of Mr Hitchins's 1st sentence for us shortly. I wish to be enlightened. Sarah Palin's remains, political & earthly, ...

When Refrencing a Holy Text...
... make sure you know what you're doing. Lilith is not a biblical figure. She does not appear in the Bible anywhere. She is a figure from Judeo-Christian mystical mythology. It's an easy mistake, just... you know... be careful. Scriptures of any kind are like any sharp object, use them carelessly and you could get somebody hurt.

Good for you!
I agree with the concept of ''autonomy''; that's what's really at stake for women. I'd like to make the controversial observation that five of the Supreme Court Justices--Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito--are Catholic. Catholicism forbids abortion. Should we consider limiting the number of members of a given religion that can be ...

Hitch On Helms like White on Rice
Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

Re: LDS Texas Children
i'm not mormon. not even close but i hope everyone who values their freedom to worship will take a look around in their own lives and how their own beliefs have been scrutinized and tested. how far off do you all think we are from facing the same fate. this nation is moving from “a land under God” to one that puts believer’s out on the ...

Turks - New Applicants to NATO - Fear Women's Head Scarves?
Speaking plain American English, I would say that any Western, Modern Government that can be brought down by women wearing head scarves, quite honestly deserves it's fate. This goes for Turkey, for Germany, and for France, too. How far does this anti-Moslem, anti-Arabia, anti-Religion and anti-Tradition Modernist Feminist conceit of our dopey, ...

Krebs Can't Shake Imperial Thinking
It seems like so many pundits, thinkers, politicans, and leaders in America just can't shake the mindset that America must advance its interests abroad through conniving double talk, backstabbing hypocricy, and cutthroat manicheanism. Its like the abuser that beats his kids, realizes its wrong, but resorts back to beating them because it just ...

Mormons and women
One discussion that has appeared nowhere in the news is the issue of Mormonism and women. As Mitt is a Mormon, his religious beliefs about women will bias his decisions at the very least. It is my understanding that Mormons do not allow women to be priests. They cannot hold any position of authority within the church. If men wish to ...
