A "Pro Life" Blogger Gets Caught Facing the Consequences of Her Views


Do anti abortion boosters regularly adopt or care for children of incapable parents? This came to mind when I encountered the story of one loud mouthed anti abortion blogger who talked a young woman out of getting an abortion.

The baby was born, the mother could not care for her. Officials inquired of the blogger about taking the baby as a foster child. No, the blogger said, she had obligations and another baby would disrupt her life.

Oh yeah, would disrupt her life. It was fine to persuade her friend to not get an abortion. When the baby was born, Ms. Blogger could not step up.

The oldest and most accurate generalization about the anti abortion lobby group is the group will work tirelessly for fetuses. Once a baby is born they disappear--they could care less about the welfare of such children. Anti abortion politicians regularly vote against taxpayer funded programs for the vary births they promote over abortions.

The word used for such Christian mischief is hypocrisy. It is to prevent abortions but ignore the consequences of their political passions.

It reminds me of stories by late brother told me. He was a psychiatrist and, years ago in his state of Missouri, parents needed a sign off from psychiatrists about the mental duress a young women would experience if she continued with an unwanted pregnancy. My brother believed in abortion rights and simply signed off all such requests. He found it annoying, however, when doctors who were vocal in the anti abortion believes asked by brother to sign off for their daughters. "If was just my child's mistake" they would say. She should not experience this tragedy that will jeopardize her future."

All women should have the right to terminate unwanted pregnancies.

P.S. My blogs may be irregular for several days--I'm taking historic Rt. 66 to California.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

Image
We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make som

The Religious Capitol Invaders May Yet Win

Image
So much about U.S. society and religion can be learned from the Civil War and what happened afterwards. After its defeat, the South started a myth about the unethical soldiers from the North. The South fought for principles of God and states rights. The North did not. It was the South, this propaganda told the country, that had the high moral ground.  The Capitol invaders, encouraged by Trump, swallowed the myth that Biden's election was stolen. Thus, they think they held and still hold the high moral ground. This was reinforced by the cross and prayers during the invasion. Even with Trump is gone, we will see political opportunists like Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley stroking crowds and feeding the same lies as Trump. Like "the South will rise again" these gullible followers will talk of victory over the unclean. After the Civil War the South rallied around the phrase, Lost Cause. For decades, and maybe to this day, there are ceremonies remembering fallen martyrs, Re

Father Frank Pavone, the Ultimate Crook

Image
Recently, the Vatican defrocked Frank Pavone. His diehard fans are outraged. This is because he cleverly manipulated his fans and the press all the while living well from donations and, apparently, abusing some women. By making abortion the "sin" of the century, and himself the main opposition to this one sin, he himself could get away with any sin he pleased.  As the link points out, Pavone was the perfect priest for the Trump era. Trump is so self-important laws have no role in his life. He felt accountable to no one. Women were there to be had. Pavone and Trump are interchangeable.  Pavone was very successful raising money. In his mind, abortion was so important in Catholic beliefs and he was so important in anti-abortion the money he raised opposing it was his to do with what he liked. The Catholic Church, the brand name he used to raise this money, thought the money belonged to it. When he gave the Vatican the bird, it gave him walking papers. With polls showing the majo
