“Pope Francis has appointed 45 new ordinary members of the Pontifical Academy for Life, according to a statement on the Vatican website. They include Nigel Biggar, who has said that he thinks the limit for legal abortion should be 18 weeks. In a dialogue with fellow philosopher Peter Singer in 2011, reported by Standpoint magazine, Biggar said: “I would be inclined to draw the line for abortion at 18 weeks after conception, which is roughly about the earliest time when there is some evidence of brain activity, and therefore of consciousness. In terms of maintaining a strong social commitment to preserving human life in hindered forms, and in terms of not becoming too casual about killing human life, we need to draw the line much more conservatively.” –Source
If he was serious about “not becoming too casual about killing human life” he would draw the line at conception and declare that is when God is involved. (See Isaiah 48:8; Jeremiah 1:5 & Luke 2:12) As per the written Word that says He names us in the womb and so any Bible believer would never even consider abortion because it is murder. But Nigel Biggar is Roman Catholic and so truth is not a prerequisite to any dogma of Rome. Hence the reason they hate Sola Scriptura with such a passion. This is also why the Roman Catholic Vatican approves and even funds abortion clinics in their hospitals. That fact alone shows it’s not about the so called Vatican dogma that abortion is wrong. (which it is) Rome only uses the abortion card when it is politically feasible for them to do so; and it has served them well over the years when making sure certain unjust laws get passed as well as good laws get tabled. But let me get this straight, and I hope some Catholics ask similar questions. Continue reading

“A bill allowing the starvation and dehydration of dementia and mentally ill patients against their will passed the Oregon Senate 17-13 on June 8. …SB494 would remove safeguards in Oregon law that protect the right of patients to receive food and water as part of basic treatment. It would give healthcare representatives power to potentially coerce doctors into starving patients against their will. …SB494 was introduced after a dispute between the husband of an Alzheimer’s patient and her nursing home. The patient, Nora Harris, had filled out an advance directive saying she didn’t want to be fed intravenously. She began needing helping using utensils. Harris could still eat with her hands and was still expressing a desire to eat. Her husband filed a lawsuit to get her nursing home to stop feeding her.” –

In his comments, Gore equated the fight against global warming to a religious-based, moral crusade similar to the civil rights fight, women’s suffrage, and the abolitionist movement during the Civil War era. Gore insisted that it is a moral imperative to fight against climate change. … And if you are a believer, as I am, I think God intends for us to open our eyes and take responsibility for the moral consequences of our actions.” –
