Posted by: kathrynjudson on: March 8, 2011
…was actually the headline over a column in the New York Times yesterday. No, really. They dared print something that states that social conservatives might, after all, not be completely wrong about a contentious issue.

Kathryn Jean Lopez, responding to someone trotting out the old “abortion is pro-family because it can cut down on single motherhood” argument, says (writing at The Corner, at National Review Online): No, we don’t need to embrace single motherhood or embrace murder to cut down on it.

Anthony Esolen discusses how, so often, ”compassion” has led to murder. A snippet: Flannery O’Connor once said that without faith we would govern by compassion, and that compassion leads to the gas chamber. We’d do well to ask why that is so, and what it might have to do with the insights of Lewis and Tolkien. That is, we [...]
