With the gradual blooming of Spring, I am again moved by the awe of life: whether it be the tulips and violas at the Albuquerque zoo (at left), or the house finches mating and flirting and flitting at my bird feeder and in my trees, I am struck by what a promise Spring is. It is God's promise to continue providing for the world, for the seasons to continue changing, for the sun to continue in its course. What a precious promise!
Whenever I contemplate life, I cannot help but be saddened by the culture of death around us. I have seen several manifestations of this recently:
- Read about presidential candidate Barak Obama's record on life issues in this Washington post OpEd piece by Michael Gerson.
- There is an excellent post from a former pro-choice feminists at the Radical Womanhood blog, detailing her journey and posting a Youtube video to the original pro-life video, "Silent Scream".
- From a slightly different approach, here is an excellent post about the role tax policies play in undermining the strength of the family (with lots of good links included).
- Here is an excellent editorial from the Washington Times regarding the abortion industry as a big corporation.
- And here is a piece from the Christian Post about legislation aimed at the practice of aborting the disabled.
