Links for 02/22/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: This is good news, at least partially, that the motion to pay the hedge funds first has been overturned. Of course, a U.S Court stipulating that Argentina overturn a law on paying vulture capitalists is a bit overboard. We should not be making foreign law any more than we should be using it. Ideally, Argentina will unite with its South American Spanish speaking neighbors into one large state with a single debt and income tax. That should give them enough leverage to print their way out of such debts.
The Zika virus has actually been linked to the birth defect. The Zika DNA has been found in the children. Should this lead to abortion? No. These children will survive childbirth, so their gestation poses no risk to the mother. Should those who oppose abortion of these children (or infanticide) pay for their moral high ground with higher taxes to pay for massive assistance to the parents? Absolutely.
Our friends at Democrats for Life should either put language in the platform saying what remedies they would use to end abortion or they should end their bumper sticker movement.
The debate on immigration is as loud as it is so that it remains illegal. Undocumented immigrants work in the shadows, unable to demand fair wages, unionization and fair working conditions - even respect in the workplace. One phone call gets rid of any factory immigrant uprising, or even just insubordination, and DHS enforces discipline. Get rid of the whole concept of documentation - and right to work to boot - and migrants will come for jobs because they really need doing - not to undercut native or union labor. As for the Pope's visit - I like the optics of the Mass at the border being on the Mexican side, rather than the U.S. side. It shows where the Church needs to identify.
