Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8); and (3) open to all peoples of all places who will accept it.paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17097301774804069480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585942924285040668.post-14930726269967968882008-12-29T12:00:00.000-06:002008-12-29T12:00:00.000-06:00Anonymous:Perhaps you'd be good enough to CLICK TH...Anonymous:<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you'd be good enough to <A HREF="http://onemom.wordpress.com/2008/08/24/nancy-pelosi-meet-the-press-transcript/" REL="nofollow">CLICK THE ORIGINAL LINK</A> which gave the reference to the <B>specific person in question</B> who <B>does</B> support so-called "abortion rights?" After re-reading the post, you might also note that "ardent" was a modifier of the person in question's self-diagnosis of her "Catholicism", not of her (undeniable) "abortion-rights" advocacy.<BR/><BR/>To borrow your turn of phrase: I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and ask you to read the post more carefully... and, when you've seen the details in their proper order and places, you could offer an apology for your hot-headed and knee-jerk accusations?<BR/><BR/>If it makes you feel better: I have never said that any Vox Novans "support abortion"; I've certainly called most of them "Faux Catholics" and "heterodox"--and some of them I've even called "heretics" (which is undeniably true, given the comments of those particular few)--but I've been very careful to call the majority of Vox Novans "abortion-tolerant". That way, it's far more difficult for them to be disingenuous, and claim: "since I don't think abortion is a good thing, I'm not pro-abortion". Such people (and you, I think) know full well that the most common usage of "pro-abortion" is a contraction for "those who wish abortion to remain legal"... right?paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17097301774804069480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585942924285040668.post-9398024905520784742008-12-29T11:39:00.000-06:002008-12-29T11:39:00.000-06:00...the plentiful "crop" of similarly-minded contri......the plentiful "crop" of similarly-minded contributors to Vox Nova and the like, the "ardent, practicing Catholics [sic]" (h/t "One Mom") who unapologetically promote abortion, and on and on, almost interminably.<BR/><BR/>Nobody on the Vox Nova contributors' list supports abortion--ardently or otherwise.<BR/><BR/>You are either being grossly irresponsible intellectually or outright lying.<BR/><BR/>I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and ask you to better discipline your mind and pen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585942924285040668.post-13774867708722104892008-12-28T21:53:00.000-06:002008-12-28T21:53:00.000-06:00Belated Merry Christmas to you.
