More than One Outrage in Connecticut

1. The storm of outrage by bishops, clergy and laity have resulted in the hearing on that horrible Connecticut bill being postponed, and the bill has been tabled for the rest of the session. The matter is not dead, though -- the two committee chairmen say they are reviewing the bill's constitutionality. Well, perhaps they should listen to Carl Anderson, the Supreme Knight, on that score.

2. At the same time, the State of Connecticut official website contains unbelievable noxious propaganda about homosexuality, including a page entitled "Help for Youth", and subtitled "Being Gay is Normal". It even has pages devoted to a "pro-gay" interpretation of the Bible. I won't link directly to those pages because they're objectively gravely sinful. But what in the world is going on in that state, that they can put this kind of junk on their official website, paid for by taxpayers, specifically designed to corrupt the morals of minors? Where's the storm of outrage over this?

3. The fashionable continue to call it an "right-to-die network", but here's the nuts and bolts on how a murder for hire outfit actually works, courtesy of our Morning Paper.

4. Boo Hoo. Now some of the scientists who've been on the public dole for stem cell research funding are pouting because they think that state and private money will dry up once the federal government starts shoveling money their way. Hey, I have an idea. Why not take the billions earmarked to pay for the scientists' BMW's and spend it on aid to poor families instead?

5. Robert George and Eric Cohen puncture the airy rhetoric surrounding the President's stem cell decision, and replace the hot air with the truth.

6. You've heard some people (e.g., the Prof. Doug Kmiec) argue that the way out of the "gay marriage" debate is to take the state out of the "marriage" business altogether, and grant only civil union status to people (a la France). Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse turns her intellelectual Cuisinart on that idea.

7. Just so you know what public witness entails in this age of "tolerance", here's the story of a woman who did nothing more than give money to the Proposition 8 cause in California, and the persecution she suffered at the hands of the forces of "tolerance". Remember John 15:18.

8. Thank goodness they're on the case. The Administration is on top of the real crisis in our nation -- the need to get more fresh vegetables in our diet, especially for the poor people who eat at soup kitchens. Now, does this mean that we vegetarians can get a piece of the stimulus package?
