Links for 05/12/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Vice President Biden has been very gently with the pro-life movement. He is a good enough lawyer to explain why Roe is settled law and the pro-life movement is a scam for focusing on it. Of course, I think he should give them both barrels, if only to inform the bishops of their error in associating with these people.
Sister Carol is very good at speaking for herself on this, especially in pointing out how many of these suits (all of them) have been dismissed. That said, they should still do late term induction terminations rather than let the butchers in abortion clinics do them - then adopt out the kid if it survives.
Health care is both a consumer good and a right, but it is not what we call a normal good in most cases. Save for optional medicine, like botox, the doctor, not the patient, dictates what medicine is necessary. Until doctors can figure out a way to provide cost effective health care, don't blame either the patients or the government for not doing it. Of course, letting the insurance companies in is totally optional and profit-taking - which is why Single Payer and Employer Payer are such good ideas.
The evolutionary scientist who thinks that religion will die out because it was a way for rich people to subdue the lower classes is simply trying to legitimate the arguments of Dawkins. It does not take into account that the eventual revolution of the proletariat will have chaplains and a religious tone. The entire civil rights revolution was religious. Doh!
