Last Thoughts Before Christmas

1. Since the Temple of Moloch, er, I mean Planned Parenthood, can't leave any women safe from exploitation, they are taking their "services" to homeless shelters. Wasn't one of Margaret Sanger's lovely eugenic slogans "More of us, fewer of them"?

2. Prof. Michael New has documented the positive effects of parental involvement laws in reducing the number of abortions. As expected, the self-interested pro-abortion crowd has objected, and now Prof. New lays out the defense of his position. This is an important argument, since the supporters of the 100% anti-life President-elect claim that social policies (i.e., public assistance, etc.) are sufficient by themselves to reduce abortions, without a need to actually enact any direct restrictions on abortion. Self-evident nonsense, yes, but the social science studies are an important part of our argument here, and it's vital that we are able to explain it to people.

3. Princess Caroline, apparently non-plussed by the failure of her social inferiors to show proper deference to her droit de seigneur, declines to reveal the nature and extent of her holdings in land and lucre. At what point does this joke get too old?

4. Just in case anyone is still willing to treat scientists as if they were the High Priests of the New Morality, here's a bunch of morally tone-deaf researchers who claim that incest isn't really all that bad, because the risk of genetic defects is "acceptable". What about the risk of moral defects?

5. Our Lord said, "Go and make disciples of all nations..." Here, the first ever public celebration of Christmas in Baghdad. Give Glory to God in the Highest!

6. I'm taking some time off during the holiday, so my missives will appear irregularly for the next two weeks. Try to have a blessed Christmas anyway.
