Abortion, Obama, and Schindler's List
Hey. I guess I should have waited until after John McCain and Barack Obama had a provocative exchange on abortion in their last debate before writing my post about Catholics and the Democrats.
Who knew their debate would be so revealing? Aside from making the "health" of a mother of parenthetical importance, McCain (and subsequent McCain campaign robocalls) tried to paint Obama as a baby killer.
But here's a column from a conservative Catholic legal scholar, who backs up Obama's argument that the Democratic presidential contender is offering a new approach that might actually lead to fewer abortions.
And to the Catholics who objected to my post the other day and labeled me a handmaiden of evil for suggesting that improving access to birth control and other imperfect solutions are better than taking no action at all, let me ask you this:
Because Oskar Schindler could save only 1,200 Jews by bribing and working with the Nazis during the Holocaust, should he have declined to save any?

Interesting Information
I found lots of interesting information on www.usnews.com. The post was professionally written and I feel like the author has extensive knowledge in the subject. www.usnews.com keep it that way.
Post-Abortion Syndrome
These people who claim to be concerned about the health of the mother are frauds, or they have not worked with women who have had abortions and are now suffering mentally, emotionally, and/or physically. There are people in Crisis pregnancy centers who work with these women after they have had abortions due to false information given to them by Planned Parenthood or some other pro-choice organization. Some of these women believe that they had no choice at the time except to have an abortion. Later they often regret that decision. Some can never become pregnant again. Some do get pregnant again, and that is when they realize what they have done and regret it. If you are one of these women, there are loving people who will help you through this crisis, and they are not the pro-choice "counsellors." However, there are Christian counsellors who will help you to find forgiveness and healing.
Abortion Comments
...and the beat goes on... both sides shouting at each other.
About 30 years ago a prominent Pro-Lifer wrote:
"...biological progress is on the horizon that will make the entire abortion issue as it stands today obsolete..." But most Pro-Lifers never heard about that, and those that did, didn't seem to care when Caspar Weinberger's "exception" was deleted for no apparent reason.
Preventing unwanted pregnancies is the one subject both sides publically support. But both are hung up on methods and side-effects. Neither side seems interested in ways to make a large group -- MEN -- more responsible for their actions by enlisting the help of another large group. Both sides are more interested in a political "...thrill of victory..."
