Abortion is Back - in 2008

PJB: Abortion is Back – In 2008


by Patrick J. Buchanan

"The partial-birth abortion ban is a little like the state outlawing the beheading of innocent people, while approving of their execution by more humane means. While the ban is most welcome, it remains but a limited victory for those who believe in the sanctity of all human life."

"Look for Right to Life groups to run ads linking the Democratic nominee to this barbaric and now criminal procedure, which even the high court agrees can be treated as a felony, justifying two years in the penitentiary for any abortionist who performs it.





If the Democratic presidential nominee can be credibly portrayed – in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio or Pennsylvania – as seeking the return of this pagan practice, it could be decisive."

Thank you Bishop Bennison for the most secular Easter I can remember

The Right Reverend Charles Bennison of the Pennsylvania Episcopal Diocese paid an Easter visitation to St. Dunstan's church - and in the space of an hour and a half managed to bring up - the Holocaust, our gay and lesbian brothers (now 15% of the population), feminist liberation theology, racism, and several other things that felt more like a New York Times editorial than an Episcopal Easter homily.

I'm sure that he must have casually mentioned the resurrection of Jesus Christ - but somehow I missed it.

Church today was filled with people who come once a year but are perfect candidates for commitment. I cannot imagine how they felt. They could have gotten the same message in a Hillary Clinton stump speech but in half the time.

The Episcopal church deserves its fate. And Bishop Bennison is a perfect escort for its descent.

WANTED: A "SAFE PLACE" FOR ORTHODOX EPISCOPALIANS

Wanted: A safe place for Orthodox Episcopalians

The churches of the Anglican Communion must be a safe place for gay and lesbian people, says the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams. One wishes the Anglican leader had the same concern for besieged orthodox Episcopalians.

Perhaps the ABC should spend some time in the U.S. (he has been invited often enough), and chat with orthodox parishes and their priests caught in revisionist dioceses. If he did, perhaps he might issue another edict. It could read: The Anglican Communion must be a safe place for Anglo-Catholic and Evangelical Parishes and their priests who are being enslaved and persecuted by revisionist bishops who hate them and want them to change their beliefs for The Episcopal Church's new religion.

Now that would be a word that would ricochet around the communion. There would be rejoicing in Africa, Asia and Latin America not to mention in dioceses like Florida, Pennsylvania and California. The raw naked truth is: it is not gays and lesbians who cannot find a "safe place" in The Episcopal Church, they have thousands of "safe" parishes; it is orthodox Episcopalians who are being hounded and harassed by bishops who want to broker a new pansexual religion that the orthodox want no part of.
