They often use the death penalty comparison or some other situation where born people are dying. <br /><br />Why doesn't anyone ask Obama or any politician why they want abortions to be reduced, but still want to allow them?Monte Harmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443723403912746089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-39930589931636455072009-03-14T18:06:00.000-07:002009-03-14T18:06:00.000-07:00Hi Scott, could you add a qualifier to your stat t...Hi Scott, could you add a qualifier to your stat that 1.2 million abortions per year is an American figure?<BR/><BR/>I know you're discussing American politics with another American in this case, but when talking about and comparing to a globally known event like the Iraq war, and on a world-wide resource (the internet), it'd be good to avoid possible confusion. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-29521185823100379632008-11-21T13:00:00.000-08:002008-11-21T13:00:00.000-08:00Based on my own experience, one key problem we fac...Based on my own experience, one key problem we face is that many Catholics know the church is pro-life, but they can't come anywhere close to articulating the moral logic of the pro-life view. (That's true of many Protestants, by the way.) Gregg Cunningham once said the pro-life movement is great at shouting conclusions, but lousy at establishing facts. That's why I've devoted my life to teaching Catholic and Protestant students to defend the pro-life view in the secular marketplace of ideas.SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905606527143286458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-42539784569746240622008-11-21T11:51:00.000-08:002008-11-21T11:51:00.000-08:00Scott - I had an almost duplicate discussion with ...Scott - I had an almost duplicate discussion with someone who claimed to be pro-life. Same talking points - almost word for word.<BR/><BR/>Someone very dear to me articulated a very similar view, but changed her mind once she viewed EWTN and Fr. Pavone, who she deeply respects. She wasn't happy with Bush, and was terribly misinformed about pro-life issues, again using very similar talking points.<BR/><BR/>This commonality touches upon what I was stating in your "Friends Like These" post about undiscerning sheep being lead astray by pseudo-pro-life groups and the MSM - that's the only common thread I can see between the nun and those I talked with.Chris Arsenaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773858656968422745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-55255819073276943862008-11-21T08:55:00.000-08:002008-11-21T08:55:00.000-08:00Reepicheep,I'm still sorting that question out in ...Reepicheep,<BR/>I'm still sorting that question out in my own mind. It's baffling to me the almost non-existent moral reasoning that accompanied some so-called pro-lifers into the voting booth. Gove me a couple of days to consider it more fully.SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905606527143286458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-30840701641925870772008-11-20T19:34:00.000-08:002008-11-20T19:34:00.000-08:00Scott, what an outstanding article.

Thank you for articulating the obvious and making it simple. <BR/><BR/>Question: What have you found to be the primary reason why (seemingly) intelligent, pro-life Christians voted for Obama?Reepicheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08732225875687801600noreply@blogger.com
