A friend of mine sent this letter to Democrats for Life. He wrote and sent it while his blood was up, but I think he’s asking a pretty important question: are pro-life Democratic groups good or bad? Do they moderate the Democratic party, or defuse the pro-life movement? This is an increasingly urgent question due… Continue reading An Open Letter to Democrats for Life

Potentially Great News on Healthcare & Abortion
The Stupak Amendment passed the House’s floor vote, meaning that the House version of the health-care bill now contains strong pro-life language preventing federal funds from being used to finance abortion. What this means, practically speaking. (1) The Democrats’ health-care bill should pass the House easily now, and (2) if the House version goes into… Continue reading Potentially Great News on Healthcare & Abortion
Praying for the Victims of the Ft. Hood Shooting
As I’m sure almost everyone reading this knows by now, yesterday, US Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army pyschatrist, murdered a number of people on the Ft. Hood Army Base. It sounds right now that there are 13 people killed and 31 wounded, but that number’s been a bit in flux over the last… Continue reading Praying for the Victims of the Ft. Hood Shooting
Bart Stupak (D-MI) Speaks Out Against Abortion in the Healthcare Bill
A lot of people are arguing that all the talk about abortion being covered by the proposed healthcare bills is a partisan political ruse, designed to derail Obamacare, a legislative defeat which could send his entire agenda reeling in the months before midterm elections (yup, they’re already talking about that here in D.C. – it’s… Continue reading Bart Stupak (D-MI) Speaks Out Against Abortion in the Healthcare Bill
The Red Mass
As a Catholic law student living in Washington, D.C., I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that this past Sunday was the annual Red Mass. The Red Mass is a Mass for those involved with the law – judges, prosecutors, attorneys, law school professors, law school students, and the like. As a group, I suppose… Continue reading The Red Mass
Pro-Life Feminist Lecture Today!
If anyone reading this lives in the D.C. area, Serrin Foster, the head of Feminists for Life, is going to be speaking on the Georgetown Law campus (we’re located between the Union Station and Judiciary Square metro stops on the Red line — not in the Georgetown area of D.C., which is confusing). The lecture… Continue reading Pro-Life Feminist Lecture Today!
Great Obama/ND Article
http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/05/29/obama-is-no-uncle-tom/ It’s much broader than that. But it’s really good. It’s by Elizabeth Lev, the daughter of Mary Ann Glendon.
Notre Dame: The Fallout
The three major take-aways I’ve seen are: (1) Obama’s speech shows he’s actually “moderate” on abortion, (2) Notre Dame Loves Obama, and (3) only a handful of students protested. As this “gay news service” blog puts it in an article title “Notre Dame Protest Flops”: President Obama arrived at Notre Dame to thunderous applause and… Continue reading Notre Dame: The Fallout
Georgetown, Seriously?
I know, I know, on Saturday I said that I would probably do a post yesterday on Christological prophesies in the Old Testament, and on the issue of typology, but I didn’t. I’ll get to it eventually, but there are a lot of other things I want to talk about in the meantime. One of… Continue reading Georgetown, Seriously?
Georgetown: Caesar > Jesus?
If you follow Catholic (or even political) news, you’ve probably already heard about the recent scandal at Notre Dame University. ND has a generally proud Catholic tradition, (although there have been a few notable missteps), and has suffered greatly for the actions of her president, Fr. John Jenkins. Fr. Jenkins decided that the appropriate way… Continue reading Georgetown: Caesar > Jesus?
