When fueled by an agitated sense of social injustice, class and ethnic consciousness can become the greatest threats to a free society.
Matters of the Heart | Part 7 – Final Points and Conclusion
To conclude this series on abortion, I offer a few final points followed by my overall conclusion:
Wait, I Thought The Media Was Wrong On Kavanaugh
Many conservative pundits are crying foul over the media’s apparently hypocritical treatment of Joe Biden’s sexual assault accusation. Apparently, they want the Kavanaugh circus to be the norm.
The Lie of Irreconcilable Differences
Peace and coexistence are almost always inevitable. The only barriers to their eventualities are the prevalence of groups who preach and embrace the lie of irreconcilable difference.
Matters of the Heart | Part 6 – Abortion and the Non-Aggression Principle
In 1973, when the beginning of life was a mostly theocratic and philosophical question, the non-aggression principle perhaps demanded unrestricted access to legal abortions. But in 2020, evidences of life in the womb have become a scientific fact. This demands a reevaluation of the rights of an unborn child.
Matters of the Heart | Part 5 – The Right to Choose and Fetal Non-Personhood
Americans are fundamentally live-and-let-live people, so “The Right to Choose” is a strong and persuasive argument. But, it relies heavily on the concept of fetal non-personhood. For if a fetus, at any stage, were to be considered human life, the fetus would be entitled to the same rights of life and liberty as the mother.
Procuring Toilet Paper with Social Capital
For most of us, relying on our economic capital or on government assistance alone to get through however long this season lasts would be devastating. We need one another. Now more than ever.
Link: A Profile in Virtue – George Washington
Civic and Republican Virtue were once the expectation and duty of an American citizen. It is an unfortunate reality that such ideals are generally lost in modern American society.
Matters of the Heart | Part 4 – The Inevitability Argument
Pro-Abortion activists have long argued that abortions will happen regardless if it is legal or not. But such an assertion sidesteps the veritable industry that abortion has become.
Freedom Is The Highest Principle
As we deal with crisis, we must not allow freedom and security to become mutually exclusive ideas.
