How in the world could sticking a needle in the heart of a late-term fetus ever be stigmatized at all?
But pro-lifers manage to do it. Pro-lifers manage to make pumping a fetus with potassium chloride something that people should be ashamed of.
It would have never occurred to anyone without them pointing it out.
And how could anyone ever conflate feticide with murder? It boggles the mind!

During the Octave of Pentecost the Church celebrates more especially the glories of the grace of the Holy Ghost and His secret work of sanctification in the Mystical Body of Christ.
Originally the feast of Pentecost brought to an end in Rome the fifty days of the Easter celebrations and introduced the fast of the Ember Days of the summer quarter. Afterwards it became customary to continue the festivity for two more days, the Monday and the Tuesday, and, finally, after the time of Pope St. Leo

Michelle Obama, speaking to high school grads in Tennessee yesterday, said about her husband, 'I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures.” Interesting little barb. And more than a bit disconcerting since we can pretty much guarantee she wouldn't be counting among his failures Benghazi, dismantling the American military, appointing a slew of radical socialists and anti-American types to positions of high leadership, or the apology tours.Neither is that afternoon of criticism

*What Facebook Tells Us About Human Nature - Rebelution May 21, 2013, 12:49 pm
With looming deadlines and constant activity it's easy to drown out the loneliness. When the busyness subsides, it's scary what we find. A recent injury drastically altered my summer plans and I immediately fell into a sort of zombie mode. I've always been the kind of person who likes to set goals and accomplish things — but I didn't want to do anything. My to-do-list just sat there silently.
This kind of indifference terrifies me.

The researchers extracted stem cells from the clones, destroying the days-old human embryos in the process."Let's be clear -- what these researchers are doing is creating a cloned human being in order to destro

*Pros and Cons of Obama's Impeachment - Divine Ripples - reflections, conjectures, memoirs May 21, 2013, 1:16 pm
A few GOP strategists say that impeaching Obama will hurt the GOP in 2014 because of the perception of the meaness on a poor African American by the GOP that will evoke sympathy from the Liberals who will then respond by stacking Congress with Democrats. I think that bleeding heart argument does not give people enough credit. Even Liberals and Democrats see what a mistake Obama is and how asinine his policies have been.So, in my opinion, it is best to get rid of Obama as soon as poss

Driving out of town on a Thursday, a pastor passed an adult movie store. Toward the edge of its parking lot, a familiar bright green car caught his eye. It belonged to another clergyman in his town, a man with whom he had led Bible studies and had prayer meetings over coffee. Upon seeing the car, the pastor immediately turned the steering wheel and pulled into the lot. Without hesitation, the pastor rushed into the store, his eyes darting after the errant clergy until he spotted the man, with a
*Christians and Television: From Death to Life, Not Rot to Sanitation - The evangelical outpost May 21, 2013, 10:00 am
A cadaver in a lab is no more alive than a corpse in a ditch, though it may smell a little less. In the end, both are buried. Rot looks alive compared to the sanitized corpse because rot is life that feeds on death, but sanitation’s sanctity is ultimately worth something. Because Christians identify with Christ’s resurrection as well as his death, merely sanitizing a corpse dignifies it but fails to perform the necessary resurrection from death to life.
