Political Potpourri
"Democrats are increasingly explicit in their support for killing unborn children at any stage of pregnancy--and sometimes even of denying normal medical care to born children . . . Supporters of the country's expansive abortion regime now fear that the SCOTUS will retreat from it, either by declaring that the Constitution permits states to protect unborn children in general or by letting them offer more protection That's why they are pushing legislation in the states to codify that regime. It is an effort that is forcing supporters of abortion to be a little more candid about what they really want: an extreme regime that denies any meaningful protection to unborn children & threatens the protection for born ones." ["The Infanticide Craze," Ramesh Paneru, National Review Online, 1/30]
"Imagine if I were to argue that since lynchings are so rare, we don't really need strict laws against lynching. Infanticide, like racism, murder, & rape is a moral category. It's not less evil if it's rare. It is rare--thank God--because we've agreed to treat it as evil . . . In debates over the death penalty, there is one thing virtually everyone agrees upon: It's profoundly wrong to execute the innocent . . . Well, a viable baby is surely innocent, too. And yet, among abortion-rights maximalists, it is considered the morally sophisticated position to remove as many checks as possible from preventing infanticide. If you think it's worth tolerating a certain number of baby killings to protect abortion rights, you should say so. But please don't pretend the moral ground you're standing on is very high." ["Abortion Maximalists Claim the Moral Low Ground," Jonah Goldberg, NRO, 2/1]
THREE TITLES OF GOD
“Light dawns in the
darkness for the upright; He is gracious, merciful, & righteous.” Ps. 112:4
“He is gracious, for He forgives
where we have sinned. He is merciful, for He spares us so that we still live,
& He supplies what we lack. Thirdly, He is righteous, so that we have
success in what we do.” [Martin Luther Psalm by Psalm, Concordia
Publishing House, 2017.]
