Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic Ping List:
Please ping me to all note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
On the matter of trying to win hearts and minds, as this writer suggests, we can - and are - doing that. She mentions the movie “Juno”. I offer “A Dream A Lot Like Mine” at http://www.myspace.com/emmettgrayson. I hope folks will click and listen.
I think the internet may have some impact. Most kids have access to it and can easily find sites that show the development of the child, making it more of a person than a glob of tissue.
Thank you.
Many crowns in glory await you.
I think that the Townhall people need to spend some time in FreeRepublic.
This post (<-click) in FreeRepublic attempts to show some serious corruption in the Supreme Court where the Court's scandalous ignoring of the 10th A. protected power of the states is concerned. The post explains how FDR's 10th A.-ignoring establishment of constitutionally unauthorized New Deal programs ultimately led to the Court's scandalous legalization of abortion. Note that the post gives two non-abortion USSC case examples in order to show Roe v. Wade in a different perspective.
Anybody who feels inclined to comment about the above referenced post, please do so in this thread.
Pro Plancio 80
etenim, iudices, cum omnibus virtutibus me adfectum esse cupio, tum nihil est quod malim quam me et esse gratum et videri. haec enim est una virtus non solum maxima sed etiam mater virtutum omnium reliquarum.
In truth, O judges, while I wish to be adorned with every virtue, yet there is nothing which I can esteem more highly than the being and appearing grateful. For this one virtue is not only the greatest, but is also the parent of all the other virtues.
— Cicero
He probably thinks that the only way he can be vindicated for his action is if everyone comes to believe abortion is okay. He needs to realize that he can never achieve vindication that way; the path to absolution is through repentance and atonement. Only by recognizing that what one has done is wrong, and seeking to do what one can to make up for it, can one escape the ghosts of one's past.
He needs to realize that if he comes clean, he can cut a deal to escape punishment.
