Humans are a weird bunch, and I say this with myself included. We typically have a set of moral guidelines that we each keep, modify, and operate by. We also have a set of beliefs that we hold to, defend, argue, and proclaim.
The problem is that many times what we say and what we choose to do are two very different things.

One of the things that we in the pro-life movement have heard tons of times is “If Roe v. Wade is overturned, it’ll be back to coat hangers for women.” It’s even to the point that at some pro-abortion rallies that coat hangers are held and displayed all around to attempt to make the point.
When’s the last time that you heard someone say “he looks like an Edward”1.
Names are something that stick with most of us for our entire lives. Names define us. In Biblical times, names said something about the person’s character. Even today people will change their name if they think it will get them ahead. Some stars will try to come up with creative names.
When I say that Abortion Hurts Women, I’m not talking about a lot of things that are very valid:
More basic than that– Abortion is killing women.
According to The Times Online, abortion can effect your relationship– including your sex life:
Lack of interest in sex after an abortion is so common that it can almost be said to be expected. Before long your libido is likely to have returned, but both you and your partner have to bear in mind that even now having an abortion is a huge event in anyone’s life. It is possible, but by no means inevitable, that the changes this will have wrought in the way you feel about a future together may have irretrievably undermined your relationship. If this happens, neither of you should assume blame or feel guilty….
14 Year Old Drowns Baby In School Toilet
Quite the sad story that asks the question, what’s the difference before the child was delivered and moment’s after when it was in the toilet?
Barak Obama: I Don’t Want My Daughters “Punished” With a Baby
Just state it like it is, Senator. You don’t want your daughters to have to take responsibility for their actions. You want them to engage in adult (and I would add marital) activity with an escape in case they happen to get the adult responsibility that comes with the action.
An interesting observation that Evangelical Christians may gain the upper hand because of how they value children vs. aborting them.
Abortionist Says He’ll Obey Law Yet Bar Men from Room
An Abortionist told medical students that it was acceptable to lie to patience to get the man out of the room when abortion was performed. It turns out the guys didn’t like seeing their girls going through a painful procedure…
Number of Abortions lowest in decades in US, survey finds
Of course the article ignores the possible obvious reason– that the country may be trending pro-life and that more people are choosing to keep their child instead of kill him/her?
Vogue Magazine Under Fire for Promoting Partial-Birth Abortion
Of all forms of abortion, many people unite behind PBA being the most like torture, the most inhumane, etc. How anyone could get behind this procedure is anyone’s guess.
Change the Way Young Men View Young Women
Buffy gives some practical ways that we can reduce the abortion rate by changing the cultures views of each other– a worthwhile goal because ultimately it has to come from the heart.
Is it all right for a corporation to mask its identity for the purposes of setting up a business the city might not want? What if that corporation is an abortion provider?
Within the comments this weekend was a truly fascinating discussion between Musicguy and myself over the differences between personal liberty and discrimination. Fascinating on more than one level– so I thought I’d share it with you in case you missed it. The original comments took place on the post “An Omen of Things to Come.”
(When I started writing this I expected it to be short, but it turned out to be one of the longer things I’ve written. So, I’m breaking it up into three posts.)
