Kari (abortion is the biggest sin) Lake Lightens up on Abortion


Who would have thought Kari Lake, one of the most conservative politicians, would advocate going relatively deep into the pregnancy to allow abortions. This is her new position. Suddenly she is talking about giving women opportunities in life. Oh yeah, times have changed.

Another way Forced Birth has tried to change is to divert the argument away from religion. Of course, this has been done for decades but today the need is urgent. In this link the attempt is to talk graphically about how the fetus is removed. But it doesn't help because the same argument is being made, "Abortion violates my religious beliefs.

One has to be quite old, as I am, to remember Ronald Reagan. He skillfully stole the moral argument from liberals and used it to argue for less government and lower taxes. Liberals had held the moral high ground for some decades, arguing that make the poor poorer and the rich richer was a moral issue. Along can the rascal Reagan and said, "No, the moral issue is government taking money from people and regulating their industries." I don't have to tell readers Reagan was quite successful.

Today, Biden and Harris are doing a Ronald Reagan. Harris visited an abortion clinic in St. Paul and said access to abortion is a moral right. Note use of the word "moral." Harris knows well now is the right moment to use the "moral" against Forced Birth. 

As to political timing in use of the word "moral," liberals had good timing after WWII and before Reagan it use it for more equal distribution of wealth and income. Reagan had good timing when he turned it on liberals. Forced Birth Protestants had good timing when they started mimicking Catholics after Roe was passed. Now, the time is right for abortion rights to make it their own.

If you are Forced Birth and think Harris' use of the word "moral" for abortion rights is ridiculous and will never work, I understand. That was what I though when Reagan took ownership of the word. 

Now even the dufus Kari Lake sees that Harris is onto something.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

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...

Who Suffers from a "Hardened Heart"

Image
Some years ago on this blog there was a discussion about what the Bible calls "The hardened heart." The "hardened heart" was the explanation given for why people like me cannot accept the tenets of Christianity. We are unable to believe there are floating spirits and gods or imaginary places people go when the die. Now, a prominent Christian preacher and author has given us a way to diagnose the "hardened heart." It contained some surprises.  Rev. John Piper, who spoke about the hardened heart, said we can see this in a person who lacks "ordinary tenderness and compassion." He went on to describe the characteristics of a person without the affliction of the hardened heart. A healthy person displays empathy and sympathy. Those with the hardened heart are like stone. Jesus wanted compassion for the poor. The hardened heart discussion referred to atheists only if they are sinners and then it was indirectly. Sin, Piper said, hardens one's heart a...

Young Women can see Bull$hit a Mile Away

Republicans including their Forced Birth subgroup is bother by recent election results and polling. All show young women going to the left. A poll shows young women are 30% more likely to be very liberal than young men. The link advises the Forced Birth community to give young pregnant women an uplifting message. The message suggested is, "Buck up. You've got this. You can give birth and have a happy life." Another way of saying this is, "It will be OK if you miss work and/or are fired because of the birth. If you cannot make your rent payment, it's OK. Somewhere out there is another place to live. We don't know where but be optimistic."   This is an add on to the new version of the Forced Birth message, "We're for both the baby and the mother." They are not and never have been for the mother. Their message has always been to condemn women who have abortions. Now, the "thoughts and prayers" message, which costs no money, it the me...
