From Choice is Murder...Tim Murphy, Peter Krump, Edmund and I would rendezvous at nine or ten o'clock on a Saturday night at Blackie's, a bar on the south end of the Loop--a bar popular with young singles. Sometimes earlier in the week Tim would have gone by himself to the Michigan Avenue Medical Center trash dumpster and retrieved a box of babies. One night Edmund, Peter and I sat at a table at Blackies waiting for Tim to arrive. When he did, he walked into the bar carrying a large paper bag co
*Autonomy: it's just not for killing - BIG BLUE WAVE Nov 18, 2009, 9:24 am
Sane Conservatism is a new blog that is worthy of your consideration. Today's topic: euthanasia.The most common argument in favor of euthanasia is an appeal to choice. The philosophical presupposition to this argument is the harm principle which was articulated by the philosopher John Stuart Mill. This is the well worn adage that you should be free to do whatever you want as long as you don't harm others. But, it is interesting that Mill himself argued that one could not appeal to the harm princ

"Music is not part of our tradition and religion, and we totally reject it," Qatar's Gulf News quoted parent Salih al-Khalid as saying. "What will our sons gain from learning this Satanic course?"Yeah. It's like all the poetry-reciting crap. And that painting non-sense. Who needs it? And sculpture. Pouah. Only leads to idolatry.
*Mary in the role in the life of grace - BIG BLUE WAVE Nov 16, 2009, 9:05 am
I've been having a discussion elsewhere about devotion to Mary and related topics.Many people tend to relegate Mary to the background, as if devotion to her was some quirky habit that detracts from the main event-- the devotion to Jesus Christ.But the mind of the Church does not go in this sense. I don't want to turn this blog into a theological treatise, but as an example of this, I would like to publish an excerpt of Pope Pius X's encyclical AD DIEM ILLUM LAETISSIMUM, published in 1904 on the

The Australian Bureau of Statistics 2008 births report found the nation's total fertility rate rose from 1.92 babies a woman in 2007 to 1.97 last year, the highest since 1977.sourceIf they could just inch it up to 2.2, perhaps they could escape the social dysfunction of an inverted demographic pyramid.

Today is the 23rd anniversary of the French pro-life group SOS Tout-Petits. To mark the anniversary, the group held rosaries for life in over 28 cities across France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Phillippines. (Gee, maybe us Canadians and perhaps some Americans should get in on the act next year-- already 4 countries there, why not make it six?)But I digress...AvortementIVG.com reports that the group in Bordeaux met at the St. Andri Cathedral with police presence and numbered 150 people strong.

An Abortioneer writes:A lot of pregnancies I see at work are wanted, even if they aren't planned, even if the boyfriend is a jerk and the woman is still in school or even on drugs. Some women really want the baby, but it's the circumstances and the future that they don't want, and that tells them that they won't really be able to support this pregnancy. Pro-lifers dedicate millions of dollars to help these women bring their wanted pregnancies to term.Abortioneers just stick a vacuum up their c

It was widely assumed that because whites were superior in this or that category, that gave them the right to kill or disrespect inferior peoples.I'm not so irritated at the raci

Anglican Samizdat raises some pertinent issues about the recent bid by the Church to open the gates to dissatisfied Anglo-Catholics:For the Anglicans who accept what the charitable view as a more than generous offer and the cynical as opportunistic poaching, I wonder how they will feel when the Pope acts ' and he or his successor will ' on something they don't agree with.

Lifesite:"I saw a full side profile, so I saw face to feet on the ultrasound machine," said Johnson.

"And I thought, 'It's life.' I mean, it's alive. ..."My mind was racing, my heart was beating so fast, and I just was thinking, 'Oh my gosh, make it stop.' Then all of a sudden, it was over. I saw the baby

Silky Laminaria confesses:What do I mean when I say I love abortion? To me, there is absolutely nothing wrong or surprising with the supposed "controversial" statement. I love women, therefore I love abortion. Abortion is a part of women's lives.But she doesn't love fetuses. They can suffer and die for all she cares. It's a zero-sum game, right? If you love women, you can't love fetuses. If you love fetuses, you can't love women. If you love women, you must support their "right" to have their fe
*Are date rape spiked drinks an urban myth? - BIG BLUE WAVE Nov 7, 2009, 5:19 am
The Daily Mail:Last week, academics concluded that women who claim they've been drugged and raped were usually just drunk(...)Could it be that women instinctively feel that if they admit to themselves how much they had drunk they would also be admitting they were somehow to blame for putting themselves at risk?Believing your drink was spiked transfers the blame to a malevolent, external force, something which women have no control over. It shifts responsibility.Alcohol expert Robin Touquet, Prof

Many poor-choicers can't get over the fact that the director of a Planned Parenthood franchise had a change of heart and has renounced abortion.It doesn't add up! Cries Amanda Marcotte.Parenthood director to an anti-choice fanatic has more holes in it than a piece of Swiss cheese after being used for target practice. Johnson's story fits way too neatly into a bunch of easily disproven anti-choice myths, the main one being that all it takes is one glance at an ultrasound to cause someone to "real
*Pro-lifers: Becoming a Force to be Reckoned With - BIG BLUE WAVE Nov 3, 2009, 6:11 pm
My latest at No Apologies:The conventional wisdom is that the Tories can risk alienating their social conservative base because so-cons have nowhere else to park their vote. But so long as pro-lifers reward the Harper Conservatives, he and his band of sell-outs will continue to throw us under the bus in the name of political expediency.The pro-life movement will never move forward in the legislative arena if we sell our votes cheap and reward politicians who don't deliver.

What the English Canadian media are reporting, and what I saw, are two different things.The English Canadian media give the impression that the College was calling for euthanasia to be legalized.CTV:Doctors should work with patients who want to end their lives if death is inevitable but not if it means breaking the law, the Quebec Co
*Left-wing publication in denial about PP director's resignation - BIG BLUE WAVE Nov 3, 2009, 9:41 am
Salon:That level of harassment is enough to make anyone consider a new profession. Not to mention, a threat to the life of one's husband and daughter would send most folks fleeing to the first bland desk job they can find. That is why anti-abortion activists do it; terrorism can be very effective. That isn't to say that Johnson was coerced into quitting her job and joining the other side. It's utterly believable that an ultrasound could change one's feelings about abortion, especially for someon

That's good. The question is: Will the nun stop being an escort?I thought this blurb was interesting:The Sinsinawa Dominicans took the opportunity to re-affirm unequivocally their commitment to the Catholic Church's core teachings, "Core teachings"? Hm. That sounds like a code phrase for dissent, as if they're saying: Don't deny the Resurrection, but if you want to question the teachings on homosexuality or contraception, that's A-OK.Now, will other congregations clamp down on dissenting sister

They have been going up and down Bank street for years. You can see it in their beat-up signs. It's like the pro-aborts only suddenly discovered them.

Another possible use is for sex-selection abortions. Legitimate ultrasound operations might never use them, but unsavoury characters might use them to reveal to a woman the sex of her baby.Tha

This epitomizes the problem with the Church.A nun is in flagrant violation of Church law, has been for close to thirty years, and she is not disciplined.She should be automatically excommunicated. She should be laid with every conceivable canonical penalty.It's bad enough that she denies the equality of the unborn children, but that she facilitates their death is outrageous.Shame on the Dominican Order.

I always bristle when Quebec clergy propose "dialogue".It has to do with the nature of Quebec Catholicism.When I was living in Quebec, the only kind of Catholicism I saw from the Church was the watered-down, touchy-feely, liberal, modernist-by-omission kind of Catholicism, especially in the Prions en Église (the weekly missal in Quebec).I don't want no lousy "dialogue". I want a conversation. A conversation where each party says exactly what they're thinking. None of this hide-behind-nicey-nice
