I am new to Don’s blog, (found it today) and recently discovered “Blue like Jazz”. So I am not going to say anything about Don.

As for your comment, I do believe you have forgotten something- Namely, that with all the negatives of people being brought into this crazy world, there are positives:

People with the cure for AIDS, Cancer, Arthritis, etc. aren’t given a chance to excel in school and medical research

People with the solution to world problems aren’t given the chance to study political science ETC.

Adam, please show me where Don has claimed support for Abortion.
I don’t believe it. I’m also unsure of whether or not this blog is in support of our President or simply stating fact- and pointing out that no matter what my party may think, nobody is all bad. I think Don mentions support for the same party in said book, but that easily could have changed over 7 years. The parties all have good sides and bad sides, so pick the best one. That kind of depends on how you perceive them, I guess. There are good people on both sides.

Megan, how can you say Obama is walking the walk rather than talking the talk. I can’t say that he isn’t, but you can’t say that he is. Neither of us knows what he does behind closed doors, but we can let his public actions speak for themselves.

Do you see it this way? Have you dialogued with anyone in his administration regarding this? Some Catholic leaders have described Obama as the ‘abortion President’ as well as describing many higher level abortion rights activists in his leadership appointments.

Since you were outspoken during the campaign about defending his positions, I am wondering if you have seen his actions in the Presidency defend your claims…

I would just be interested in any follow up to this conversation–

(Also, more dead babies means fewer poor people, which Don wants. It also means fewer fatherless children, which Don wants. It means fewer dumb kids in school, which Don wants. It means fewer people on welfare, which Don may or may not want. It means fewer kids dying in wars, which Don wants. It means less strain on the environment, which Don wants. Etc.)

Yay Don!! You are so wise!

“The life of the mother” issue has been abused over and over again. It is a canard. For instance, doctors routinely use this loophole even when there is absolutely no risk to the mother’s life, except for “her emotional well being”. Think I’m exaggerating? Read this story, written by a Chicago area nurse who discovered an abandoned baby in a soiled linen closet, and get back to me:

We will continue to speak out for justice and children until this type of bloodshed stops.
