Democrat: Always wait for consensus.
Aquinas: Any job worth doing is worth doing by a professional.
Royalist: We are the consummate professionals.
Republican: Let someone else take a turn!
Consensus needs a leader who builds it or coordinates it. The republic does this best, without the perils of corruption generated by too much tenure. The republic also requires subsidiarity, so that upcoming leaders can practice their skills.

Bad 'scientific' methods are detailed in the words of the scientists themselves, who depend on abortion to design experiments.

5/20/20 #Law #OT #OldTestament
Most issues regarding OT laws are settled IMO by Catholic interpretation of the NT on forgiveness. To the point: the law is invariant, but the penalties can change. This suggests to me that the OT civil and ceremonial laws that are not types of and fulfilled in NT events are early hygiene and public health laws, or possibly early canon law. Eating shellfish and pork, for example, can be deadly if one lacks proper knowledge and tools for cooking. In the absence of modern biochemistry and the germ theory of disease, I view Moses' hygiene laws as really excellent! Invariant law: health and hygiene are good. Varied penalties: for eating pork, shellfish, depending on prudent consideration of conditions.

More docs say abortion is never medically necessary.
1/18/20 IRS Tax rules seem clear: putative charities must not engage in political advocacy.
So why does Planned Parenthood (I almost typed Panned Parenthood) appear to break them?

3/12/19 Thoughts of one pro-life woman:
Sperm travel and meets an egg. Something is formed. This 'thing' lives and breathes, it eats, it's growing!!! It's a baby it's my child, our children. The blood of these children cry out. Can you hear it? "Don't kill me,mama" it says, "Lemme live and see how beautiful you look" "I love you mama, do you love me too?" Why start something you can't finish, why do something if you would regret it later? If you don't want a child then don't do things that would bring about one. Don't let the euphoria of sex lure you to committing murder. LET THE CHILDREN LIVE... STOP ABORTION TODAY!
