“Abortion and the Negation of Love”
Posted by: kathrynjudson on: April 13, 2011
At First Things, Joe Carter writes (emphasis in original): Those of us in the pro-life movement often claim that we live in a “culture of death.” But most of us don’t believe it. Not really. We may use the phrase as a rhetorical tool, but deep in our hearts we think that our family, friends, [...]
Protecting your loved ones in an age of euthanasia
Posted by: kathrynjudson on: April 5, 2011
Denny Hartford has a few suggestions. He notes that active euthanasia – actual hastening of death – has become more common in medical facilities than many people realize – until they have a loved one in need of care.

Ladies, this is a great post on the value of human life and the sanity and power of Christian love: Teaching Grace, by Tim Muldoon (Patheos, March 22, 2011).

“Why Monogamy Matters”
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. Columnist Ross Douthat works off of a ‘results’ premise – i.e., the Sexual Revolution has resulted in unhappier women, etc. [...]

Posted by: kathrynjudson on: February 15, 2011
Karen Edmisten has a series called When I Was a Pro-Choice Atheist. She’s up to Part 5. Much of it has to do with how often we don’t communicate well with people who don’t agree with us. She also brings up a point that’s easy to forget. Conversion comes slowly for most people. (Eric Sammons [...]

It is not a good thing when the very people who are supposed to be in charge of protecting human rights instead spend time trying to argue that some people aren’t really human beings. The good news in this article is that parliamentarian Carlos Salvador isn’t letting up, and is trying to force the minister [...]
‘Liberals’ then and now
Posted by: kathrynjudson on: May 8, 2009
Not that long ago a number of highly-placed liberals were outspokenly against abortion. Robert P. George, in an article about the life and times of Richard John Neuhaus, notes: At the same time, more than a few notable liberals were outspokenly pro-life.

Eugenics and Other Evils by G.K. Chesterton was first published in 1922. It’s uncanny how well he foresaw where the eugenics movement, so popular amongst the ‘elite’ of his day, was headed. The original book is available online in several places, including Wikisource. A more recent, expanded print edition is also available, about which is written: “An Argument [...]
