Liberals in Love
I enjoyed reading this interview with Bernard Goldberg, author of A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media. “This is not the same old, same old. They jumped the shark this time. They really took sides and they didn’t care who knew it. That’s different from anything that happened in the past.”
Undiscovered Sampler
Some free music (of varying quality) for you to download.
Ted Haggard’s Facebook
This is an interesting article from someone who knew Ted Haggard well. “I was hoping — against hope — that The Trials of Ted Haggard would document his walking into the light. It doesn’t. It captures his attempt to reenter the limelight.”

While I agree with the overall conclusions Mohler makes re: forgiveness, I’m not sure I’m completely on board with his use of the term “murder” to describe any and all abortions. I’m not a lawyer, but I can see a case for very early abortions, the morning after pill, destroying frozen embryos, etc. instead being classified as criminally negligent homicide. Legally speaking, negligent homicide is not murder. Is it still sinful? Sure. So the rest of Mohler’s conclusions stand. I’m just not sure that conflating all abortion with “murder” really advances the debate.

JPH, it is not about the debate, but about saving lives. I could care less if someone thinks the term murder is too harsh, the point is children are dying! It doesn’t matter if someone uses the morning after pill or waits until the ninth month, it is killing a child! Compromise shows up in so many areas, don’t let this issue be yet another!

I’m not compromising.

Legally speaking, killing a child is not always murder.

If I had to decide between abortion and the life of my wife, I am not sure what I would choose. However, I suspect that I would probably choose my wife’s life over the life of my child.

Tom, I did…The choice was already made, the baby would not have survived, and was likely already dead. God taught us many lessons that day/week.
