abortion

Michael Novak had an interesting comment about the President signing an executive order approving of tax payer money paying for abortions overseas. Those funds go to countries who value children and they wonder why Americans want to kill them. They do not see things the way secularists see them and look at us in a negative light. So much for trying to make an improvement on America's status overseas. It gives "the ugly American" a whole new meaning.

Frederica Mathewes-Green offers another view on abortion. She comments on the changing views on abortion, but not what many think. While the boomers are growing older, it is the younger generation that will soon be in control. And they will see that the 49 millions abortions were their brothers and sisters, and that they might have been aborted; they then find common ground with those babies. She goes on to comment that that generation might not to well on the boomers, seeing them as murderers.

Both authors make interesting comments that secularists, and some religionists, might not like. We are getting change but maybe not the kind we wanted. Even several theologians who were supportive of the new President have been disappointed with his recent decision.
