The protection of life in the womb delineates more than any other issue the difference between presidential choices this November. Yuval Levin examines the topic in this National Review article.Within the article, he takes note of how science, like the Republican party, goes to bat on behalf the uni-celled, multi-celled, and barely formed child. Over and over, the more science learns about the mind-boggling machinations within the womb, the more they concede the humanity of the child from the moment of conception.
Levin noted that Senator Obama Houdini'ed around Pastor Rick Warren's question during the Saddleback Forum regarding the moment at which life begins. The candidate asserted that the answer was above his pay grade. In other words, who is he to know the mind of God.
Levin summed up the parties' position with this gem of a query:
"Now tell me again which party seeks refuge in theology when it doesn’t like the facts that science helps us know."-----------------------------------
A number of other articles have surfaced on the strong stand the Republican party has taken regarding the sanctity of human life in its addition of Sarah Palin to the ticket. Some superb articles just today:
- Ken Blackwell, "Candidates Abortion Views Inform"
- Rich Lowry, "Choosing Trig"
- Paul Weyrich, "The Speaker's Unusual Description of Catholic Dogma"
