Earlier this month, I sang with the Handle Choir of Baltimore at the Red Mass for The St. Thomas Moore Society of Baltimore at Loyola College. Got to see our Cardinal & Bishop along with judges, priests, lawyers, and others. We prayed that God would guide us in all justice and judicial prudence.
The homilist talked much about how God would eventually be victorious in matters of just law. His main point was in regards to abortion. It was very un-P.C. that he would talk about the subject, especially in the manner he did, but I liked it.
He mentioned that Blacks were once not considered human and that Blacks were not to have the same education as Whites. The Supreme Court and other judges upheld it. Yet eventually, it was overturned. He said in the same way that the abortion issue would return to the states, if not outlawed, overturning yet another decision.
Also, earlier this month Ms. Miers, the president, and other high level officials attended a Red Mass just down I-95 from the one I attended.
Would Harriet vote to overturn Roe? The president alluded to it when he thought Ms. Miers’ religion was an important issue. Is this the case? Is he just trying to get people like me in the general population and in Congress to back her? Who knows?
Unfortunately for pro-life folks like me, I don’t think Bush could get someone into the court socially conservative enough to pass Sen. Spector (R) and the Democrats. Nevertheless, I hope if Harriet’s confirmed she’s the right person for the job.
There has recently been a great push in the world of women's health to consider prescription birth control (oral contraceptives, IUD, DepoProvera, etc.) not only a "right" but indeed a necessity – the "standard of care," if you will. The fact that ever-growing numbers of registered pharmacists are refusing to fill legal prescriptions for such birth control has caught the attention of quite a few powerful pro-choice and "feminist" groups, who have made it their goal to force such professionals by law to fill all such prescriptions with no questions asked. As a practicing pharmacist, I would like to try to address this issue.
