Patheos hosts some great bloggers. But
it hosts a very wide range of perspectives. So, in following links, I
cam across this page:
Recent Perspectives on Roe v. Wade
The blog posts selected were about evenly split. I suppose in 1934, if Patheos' page editor had been around, he would have posted 6 articles on why Jews shouldn't be sent to internment camps and 6 articles on why they should.
Body Parts, Schmarty Parts. What’s
All the Fuss About?
July 20, 2015 by Bethany Blankley
Very dark, snarky satire. Almost passes
as what it critiques.
If You Want to Defund Planned
Parenthood, Think Through the Consequences First
July 19, 2015 by Hemant Mehta
Mehta is the friendly atheist. In this
brief post, he tries to pull a Twitchy by posting a Twitter
conversation between a Christian and a troll. Unfortunately, the
troll steamrolls the poor guy with a non sequitur. If PP closes she
will have no recourse but to go bankrupt paying for her gyn services
and finally die a painful death due to a lack of free birth control,
STD treatments, and abortions on demand. She says there are no other
alternatives on her block in the Iowa countryside that take her
crappy insurance plan that offer her lifesaving STD treatments.
Apparently, she refuses to consider a better policy (couldn’t be
she has limited choice among expensive policies with lousy benefits
because of ObamaCare? Nah. Its because of ignorant Christians who
hate her. And it couldn’t be that $500M in free money from the
federal government + tax exempt status gives PP a competitive
advantage to other providers – thereby limiting her choices. IOW,
could it be that she is defending policies that hav resulted in
reducing her choice and increasing her costs? Sure, she should act
all superior towards her interlocutor to hide how stupid she really
looks.
Why I’m a Christian Who (Still)
Supports Planned Parenthood
July 20, 2015 by Dan Wilkinson
Dan is the Unfundamentalist Christian.
Considering his argument in defense of PP harvesting body parts from
pre-born children who they have killed, perhaps he should rename is
blog the Utilitarian Christian. I'm surprised to say that I hadn’t
seen the “they’d just throw it away anyway” argument prior to
Dan’s essay: “Why shouldn’t cells from aborted fetuses be used
for medical research with potentially life-saving applications? Would
those opposed to abortion prefer that these resources be simply
squandered? Since the abortion is going to happen anyway, what
possible reason is there for not utilizing the aborted tissue?”
That segment probably approaches some
sort of record for euphemisms per square inch.
Why I wrote the same thing I always do
when the Liars for Jesus attacked Planned Parenthood yet again
July 18, 2015 by Fred Clark
Fred is some sort of progressive
Christian. His take, nothing to see here, you’ve seen it all
before.
BTW, how can you tell when a Pro-Life …
sorry, Anti-Choice person is lying? A: His lips are moving. If an Anti-Abortion liar tells a lie
and nobody listens, is he still lying? Yes! Because Fred will combine
it with some urban legend about Pepsi
using aborted babies as a flavor enhancer and ta-da! Whatever he’s saying is a lie. You
can tell it’s a lie because he is anti-abortion and he’s talking
about PP. Therefore he is lying. Don’t even bother to see for
yourself what those two PP executives were recorded saying. Just you
go back and call them names.
It must be nice to be a Progressive /
Pro-Abort / Democrat / liar – but I repeat myself.
It gives you the ability to hold two
contradictory statements in your head and not see the contradiction.
The videos discuss human organs. The lackeys lying in their defense
can only find “tissue” or “cells”.
Planned Parenthood Isn’t Selling Baby
Parts: Unpacking the Lies in a New Undercover Video
July 14, 2015 by Hemant Mehta
Our friendly atheist also adds that we
are so dumb we think that killing a child in utero and extracting her
liver, lungs, heart and brain and then exchanging them for money
isn’t selling body parts. Man, we must be way dumber than he is.
#PlannedParenthoodSellsBabyParts….so
what?
July 14, 2015 by Rebecca Frech
“Over her salad, she explains how the
unborn children are carefully turned to a breech position before the
doctor, guided by what he/she sees on an ultrasound, uses forceps to
carefully rip off body parts until the fetus has been removed
completely from the uterus without destroying the commercially
valuable organs such as the heart and liver. She even details what
they do about that pesky head that’s often too large to fit easily
through a cervix which isn’t dilated enough to extract it easily.”
“This latest video is nothing new. It
is the same brutal disregard for human life which is necessary for
abortion to be possible.
“There is nothing new in Planned
Parenthood, or any other abortion provider, making money off of the
destruction of human life. Making money off of killing babies is what
they do.
“We shouldn’t be shocked and
outraged that they are selling off the organs of these poor massacred
children. We should be shocked and outraged that it is legal for them
to be killed in the first place.”
We are to the
point, in the increasingly evil of our banality that if CMP came out
with a video of PP workers eating fried fetus fritters, these people
would say just that: “so what?”
