I'm in a long-term argument with a friend over the "choice" misnomer. Would it be possible to get the reference to the Guttenmacher Study? I looked, but without knowing if it's US women or worldwide or the year, I didn't have any luck. Thanks again! - Jennifer Halbleib Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:44:00 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/compromise-on-abortion.html#comment-2407 Politics is the art of moving the tide of popular opinion and attitudes slowly up the beach of my Utopia project vs. yours. The present Administration is trying its utmost to advance its Romantic/Gnostic humanism agenda in yet another attempt to "immanentize the eschaton" (Voegelin). It\s doing a spectacular job of polarizing itself as an oligarchial monstrosity. I hope everyone is happy-changey with it. - Jeff H.

Calling the President a "liar" as I have seen on other websites, will not provide opportunities at all for a rhetoric change or comprehension on the part of the people supporting reproductive "rights".jb. - Jamie Ballenger Sun, 26 Jul 2009 17:46:39 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/compromise-on-abortion.html#comment-2400 Mr. Buttiglione may be simply recognizing how unlikely it is that Europe will prohibit abortions. Therefore, in the absence of a strong societal condemnation and punishment of the practice, he hopes to allow more women (and men) of good will to make the right choice. Unfortunately, in the fornicator's paradise that is the modern Western world, the burden of an unplanned child will often trump the moral considerations that are dismissed by half of the world's population. - Tom Borek Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:16:47 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/compromise-on-abortion.html#comment-2394 i believe the Aztec people felt they had "no choice" but to offer in continual sacrifice the blood of their children....did they need to be "freer?" Uh, YEA.... but let us look at what held them captive. the father of lies. the evil one. the opposite of LIFE. so maybe what this very mistaken man needs is an encounter with Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Indians were poor, but not without value to the Queen of Heaven. Can we ask for Her intervention here & pray for a deeper conversion for this man? - debby Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:08:48 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/compromise-on-abortion.html#comment-2390 I admit, I don't understand Mr. Buttiglione's reasoning. This seems to be a feeble attempt to establish some reason for parlance with the most anti-life regime in US history. One would be well advised to watch what this president does, rather than what he says. How much more freedom? A woman can eliminate her baby even at the point of birth. Some ethicists would allow killing the infant even up to 2 months of age. With Obama one best judge the tree by the fruit it bears. - Willie Fri, 24 Jul 2009 08:03:56 +0100
