Can you look at endorsement for the presidential candidate and say maybe that endorsement was wasted? Looking at the presidential race one can’t help but wonder. What if instead of endorsing Thomson and Romney, leading pro-life groups of this country would support Hackabee? Could we have McCain trailing behind Hackabee? May be or may be not. But today I would like to look at McCain and his stance on pro-life issues.
John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench. Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states. The difficult issue of abortion should not be decided by judicial fiat.
Unfortunately this is not what McCain expressed in the following video:
Repealing Roe v Wade will lead to would make abortion illegal. Amen to that. Will it make more dangerous that it is today. Not anymore dangerous as it is today- leaving behind one dead and many wounded. But that is the slogan of the “pro-choice” movement “Keep Abortions Safe and Legal”. No matter how hard you try, Sen. MacCain, you just can not be on the both side of the fence at the same time.
So what about his stand on embryonic research and cloning?
Evidently McCain believes that both are OK and is guided by a false argument that many frozen embryos are predestined to die, therefore we should get the best out of the situation. While it is true that in the USA way to many embryos are produced than needed for IVF, even if we kill all these frozen embryos, there will not be enough to produce just a few strains of stem cells, never mind to find a cure. In order for embryonic research to to go ahead, creating embryos for the sole purpose of destroying them is necessary.
I still can’t help but wonder what it would be like if Hackabee was ahead. What about you?
I had some issues with Fox Channel in the pass, however I must admit that no other program even attempts to bring forth issues like PVS (aka persistent vegetative state). A medical condition? More like an excuse to kill handicapped. It is a shame that after Terry Schiavo demise our legislators in Washington DC did not attempt to enact the laws to prevent another handicapped person killed.

“My lawyers were looking for a young, white woman to be a guinea pig for a great new social experiment, somewhat like Adolf Hitler did.I wanted an abortion at the time, but my lawyers did not tell me that I would be killing a human being. My lawyers did not tell me that I would later come to deeply regret that I was partially responsible for killing 40-50 million human beings,” - Norma McCorvey (aka Jane Roe)
I could not pass this image without posting it to my blog (HT Jill Stanek). It has been 10 years since Bill was caught with his pants down, very soon future generations of Americans will have to learn about Bill Clinton’s adventures from the history books. These future generations of Americans may not appreciate the humor of the bumper sticker bellow.

When a man says “I Made A Mistake”, not every one reacts to his statement in the same way. Some of us understand that it takes a mature man to face his past and admit that not everything he did was right. Some of us may look at this man as one who attempts to provoke a contemptuous sorrow for his misery or distress- some one who looks for pity. There are also some who will see in such a statement a hidden political agenda. Ms. Sarah Blustain may be an epitome of the latter two category of people, which is eloquently displayed in her latest writing at The Nation:
Pity the Man: The antiabortion movement has found a new face to exploit for political gain. And it’s male. By Sarah Blustain
Pity the man who conceived four babies with four women and suffered anxiety attacks and nightmares after all four, with his consent, were aborted. Pity the man who saw his soon-to-be-born baby on an ultrasound and instantly came to believe that he “had killed two of my own kids” through abortion. Pity the man who abused alcohol after his girlfriend aborted. Pity the man who suffered a nervous breakdown, depression, psychosis and nearly suicide after his girlfriend had an abortion despite his pleas…
Now we understand. Pity the man.
The four pages of somewhat angry criticism of pro-life movement by Ms. Blustain due to hit the stands this Monday on the pages of The Nation, but you can read her article online.
Evidently we both have attended the same conference in San Francisco- Reclaiming Fatherhood. However I tend to disagree with everything that Ms. Blustain had written in her latest article.
The men who took stand in front of few hundreds of people they have never seen in their lives, are truly courageous individuals who deserve admiration and respect but not pity. They told their stories without hype and exaggeration. They had the strength to acknowledge that abortion was their worst mistake. They had the wisdom to tell us that abortion was their ultimate delusion. They opened their hearts to show us that abortion was their biggest loss.
Every man who spoke in front of us reminded me of the Prodigal Son from the well known Jesus’ parable. In that parable, the Prodigal Son who found the courage to admit his mistake is not a hero. The true hero of that parable is the loving and forgiving Father.
Although these men took the stage and one by one acknowledged their mistakes, they themselves will tell you that they are not the heroes. They will tell you that the true hero in their story is the loving and forgiving God.
Those who would like to put a political spin on the issue are probably would love this to be just that a “political issue”. But it is not. The pain of abortion is not an illusion. It is real. The effect that abortion has on people’s lives is not imaginary, it is also real and often devastating. And men are not immune to neither.
I have already posted once in the past the video by Flipside. I think it is fitting to include it in this post as well. His song is the song of millions of men around the world.
No, Ms. Blustain it is not about the politics. It takes a Man to say “I made a mistake”.
