Spare me the distress!

Spare me the distress!

June 17th, 2013

The Netherland and Belgium seem to be in a race to the bottom of medical ethics. Early in the week, Belgium was ahead by a nose. Its Parliament reportedly reached a consensus on expanding controversial euthanasia policies to include access for gravely ill children. But the very next day the Netherlands broke clear and lunged ahead. The Dutch press reported an even more startling development on the euthanasia front. Dist[...]

How to Defend Your Pro-Life Views in 5 Minutes or Less

June 16th, 2013

Cross-posted from Life Training Institute. How to Defend Your Pro-Life Views in 5 Minutes or Less By Scott Klusendorf Suppose that you have just five minutes to graciously defend your pro-life beliefs with friends or classmates.  Can you do it with rational arguments?  What should you say? And how can you simplify the abortion issue for those who think it’s hopelessly complex? Here’s how to succeed in three eas[...]

Questions for pro-life people

June 12th, 2013

You might disagree with this, and in many ways I hope that you do, but often I find that as soon as the words "pro-life" come out of my mouth many around the table assume an aggressive stance. It seems that being pro-abortion (apologies, that is pro-the-mother's-choice) is taken as the default stance of "normal" people. Prolife then seems to begin any debate on the defensive. At least it does whenever I begin, but as I say I h[...]

New test for Downs Syndrome developed in UK

New test for Downs Syndrome developed in UK

June 10th, 2013

Not sure if you caught One News last night. It featured an article about a brand new test for Down syndrome that has been developed in the UK. Three important things to note: 1. The article made absolutely NO mention of the fact that the end result of the vast majority of positive tests for Down syndrome using this new technology will be the abortion of those unborn human beings with Down syndrome. Funny how, apar[...]

I want to talk a bit about equivocation in discussions. Equivocation means to use the same word to mean 2 different things, but to pretend as if the words mean the same. It’s not always obvious that it’s being done either (even by the person doing it sometimes, I suspect). The word ‘choice’ is an appropriate example. We usually use the word ‘choice’ to refer to choosing between different good options (eg choosing what to ha[...]

The Inhumane and Unacceptable Consequences of Elective Abortion

The Inhumane and Unacceptable Consequences of Elective Abortion

June 5th, 2013

I use this very tongue-in-cheek, but often the scene I think of when people speak about the quality of life of people with Downs Syndrome comes from Shallow Hal. In the movie Hal's friend berates Hal for dating a woman that he considers ugly ...after 'saving' him by breaking up his relationship. Hal shakes his head and asks "What if you were going out with your dream lady, only everyone else considered her ugly?" His fri[...]

Holocaust survivor became a killer of the innocent

Holocaust survivor became a killer of the innocent

June 3rd, 2013

        Imagine if I told you about a Holocaust survivor, someone who had walked away from such evils as the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, only to later become a killer of many, many innocent human beings after the war had ended. Sadly this isn’t a thought experiment, it’s a true story. Last week famed Canadian abortionist and activist Henry Morgentaler passed away at the age of ninety[...]

NSW Parliament Rejects Euthanasia Bill

NSW Parliament Rejects Euthanasia Bill

June 2nd, 2013

Cross posted from Paul Russell's blog. On Thursday the 23rd of May the Rights of the Terminally Ill Bill 2013 sponsored by The Hon Cate Faehrmann MLC was defeated in the NSW Upper House by a margin of 23 to 13. There were effectively 5 abstentions and one non-vote due to a vacancy. In her closing speech and in the media following the bill’s defeat, Ms Faehrmann said that she expects the same bill to be introduced int[...]

FRIDAY LIFE: Abortion apologetics 101 practicum

May 31st, 2013

The other day I was looking at some of the comments that were posted in response to the Prolife NZ Tour/Jill Stenek story that the Otago Daily Times (ODT) ran on their website and print edition following a tour we ran a couple of years ago. Today I want to post a reply to one of the typical comments to so everyone here can benefit from the experience. I thought I would reply to this specific comment because it is a v[...]

Embryology: Inconvenient Facts & Dehumanization

Embryology: Inconvenient Facts & Dehumanization

May 29th, 2013

I found this article here. Truly an excellent work! William L. Saunders, Jr.   In the ongoing debate about cloning human embryos for research, and about destroying them in order to harvest their stem cells, it is important to keep some basic facts in mind. Our moral analysis must be built upon fundamental scientific truths. If we obscure the facts, then we will not think clearly or act responsibly about[...]
