Just as the poor will be with us always, so too shall those who make poor decisions. Policy will not change that and they must therefore continue to work on the mission of their faith, to protect the life of the innocents. I have often said that the right should adopt the McDonald's/Burger King marketing philosophy, so for every planned parenthood there should be a "life savings" institute across the street. God does not promise an easy path to virtue, nor does he hold us accountable for our sister's choices in life. We must commit to a lifetime of spreading the message, helping where we can, and stop thinking of the loss of a policy victory as a moral failing.Anngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442409692601789090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276040368928521439.post-46067329439326815202012-08-23T08:17:34.232-05:002012-08-23T08:17:34.232-05:00When this debate gets re-framed as one over natura...When this debate gets re-framed as one over natural (or god-given, depending on your point of view) rights, then the discussion can truly be renewed. Do we have a right to life as HUMAN BEINGS? If so, and if it is a right, then don't we all have it? Or is it just a privilege, afforded to a few relative to their political power? This is the framing of the debate that should set moral people on both sides of the aisle to thinking. Instead, we must get bogged down by ridiculous people on both the left and the right. <br /><br />We know who they are. <br /><br />You said it best when you said: "Abortion is a perpetual political war that gnaws at our polity by inflaming equal and opposite responses from Republicans and Democrats. A war where we learn to hate the "other" so we don't notice the kleptocrats looting the treasury."<br /><br />Welcome to the road to libertarianism, it's good to have you here.Corey Stinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661959209598881353noreply@blogger.com
