Thus far two states have cut off funding to Planned Parenthood. Only 48 to go. In addition, we had a close vote in the Senate on whether to cut them off at the federal level. This vote was taken after just a third of the videos had been released. The current amount of pressure, continued …
Stonewall Trailer, Round Two
Sorry you have to click through to get to the trailer, but life sometimes has difficulties that attend us on the way. I would fix it if I could, but we were not put into this world for pleasure alone. At any rate, here it is:
Just Watching
A few days ago I wrote, in that lucid and penetrating way I sometimes have, that we ought not be tying other political or cultural issues to our pursuit of Planned Parenthood. As much as within us lies, we ought to keep the focus and attention on the indefensible conduct of Planned Parenthood, and the …
The Collapse of Their Righteousness
I have just a couple points this morning, and not surprisingly, they are all related to the continuing Planned Parenthood scandal. First, no one should doubt that the pro-abortion party is reeling, and there are objective grounds for saying this. And second, their precarious position needs to be connected, at every opportunity, to the gospel …
Thanks Bunches, Techie Pagans!
There are many reasons to look forward to the day of resurrection. The foremost of course will be to be with the Lord Jesus, and then after that to be with all the saints — with those I have longed to meet but especially those who will make that day a wonderful day of reunion. …
And Then Swash Some More
In this battle with Planned Parenthood that just erupted, certain worried cautions against triumphalism really ought to wait until after the triumph. I would much rather encourage the troops to pour it on, they’re doing great. And they have been doing great. The Center for Medical Progress has done a wonderful thing in and through …
The Grove of Ashtaroth
A common definition of hypocrisy is to understand it as saying one thing and failing to live up to that standard. While such personal inconsistency is not a good thing, the kind of hypocrisy that Scripture so fiercely denounces occupies another level. High hypocrisy, defined biblically, occurs when you accuse, condemn or assault others for …
Moral Imagination and the Right to Life
The right to life is the basic human right. When it is denied, no other right will ever be recognized. When it is affirmed, and appropriately grounded, all other God-given rights will be recognized and defended in just the way they ought to be. In order to appropriately ground this right, however, we have to …
Hashtag Tactics
The outrage against Planned Parenthood is ongoing, and the third video released today. Thus far, the pro-life response has been vigorous, coherent and good, but unless we are careful, the outrage might begin to sprawl. Before I make some tactical suggestions to help keep it all focused, I suggest you watch the third video. Here …
A Rook for a Queen
One of the most interesting things about the Planned Parenthood scandal is that it has blown the Obergefell scandal off the front page. This might seem problematic to some, given the travesty that was Obergefell, but to my mind it is entirely to the strategic good. In the long game, I am always willing to …
