In a typical sign of the times, Trump admin decisions hover around Donald Trump’s over-sized ego.
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.
Link: Second Class Citizens?
Can a segment of America’s citizens be carved out as a separate class of people whose rights can be limited at the same time those rights are maintained by others? Judging by the desire to craft laws to further limit access to firearms for those between 18-21 years of age, many answer that question in the affirmative.
“Who Doesn’t Benefit”: The Start Of A Trump Conspiracy Theory
Most conspiracy theories are totally bonkers, but at least they follow typical lines of questioning. Conspiracy theories in the age of Trump can’t even do that.
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.
Is Joe Biden The Next Warren Harding?
Joe Biden could ride a return-to-normal campaign all the way to the White House, if his party lets him campaign that way.
