Paul, I agree that it is good...Julie, great link!!<br /><br />Paul, I agree that it is good when we do find consensus on things, in order to move forward towards a more just society. However, I think the pendulum has swung so far in the direction of "searching for common ground" that we have forgotten to stand on principle and define what we believe, even when it means we <i>cannot</i> have common ground. I will have common ground with everyone until the "ground" they want me to walk on is in fact shifting sand. Now, having said that, I am a Christian, and that means that, unlike other religions, I do not then physically harm those who don't think like I do. My response is to respect their free will (even if they are dead wrong), to have peaceful protests when necessary (think, praying at an abortion mill), and to pray for their conversion of heart. <br /><br />As for balancing this blog and a large family... Oh, I'd love to tell you all about that, ha ha!! It's crazy. I will say that I purposely decided not to make this a family blog or "mommy blog," for many reasons, so I don't talk about what's going on here. I will say that I have a very helpful husband. And, I don't get a lot of sleep. Ha ha! <br /><br />But since this is my "hobby" (or, passion!), I don't think I will quit anytime soon.... It's my "escape"! Yes, debating people who disagree with me is my relaxation, ha ha ha!<br /><br />I'm very glad you are here, and I hope you will stay.Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-73075364618043140692010-10-08T08:50:06.688-07:002010-10-08T08:50:06.688-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paul Rimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212220645183007323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-84273800832390217232010-10-08T08:32:15.367-07:002010-10-08T08:32:15.367-07:00JoAnna, I would love to meet you...

Under no circumstances should a woman be "forced" to bear a defective child.

I am going to try and attend if scheduling and finances allow. :)<br /><br />Re: 3rd tri abortions, I think you'll find that most liberals would oppose them unless the baby has a disability. :( The "suffering" thing again. As I've said before, after Dr. Tiller was killed I read many msg board posts that praised him for helping women kill their babies if a disability was detected in the third tri, so they (the babies) "wouldn't suffer". :(JoAnna Wahlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09942928659520676271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-48099903897041377202010-10-08T07:54:13.341-07:002010-10-08T07:54:13.341-07:00I do want to add: Though I don't do the whole...I do want to add: Though I don't do the whole "consensus/common ground" thing, I will say that it is good when both sides can agree on some things. For example, most Americans (conservative and liberal) do not want third trimester abortions to be legal. At least that is my impression. I don't have the stats in front of me. But, if we can work to ban things like partial-birth abortion, well, that's a good thing. (I'm pretty sure that the Democratic Party would not agree to ban PBAs, but I hope that most citizens who are Democrats would think the practice abhorrent.)Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-33030854106899271892010-10-08T07:46:51.280-07:002010-10-08T07:46:51.280-07:00I love Dennis Prager!I love Dennis Prager!Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549450017686782369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-50887481755742587552010-10-08T06:34:17.487-07:002010-10-08T06:34:17.487-07:00That BDF sounds like a very worthy cause!
