Best of the week entry 1

Comes from Hunter Baker and takes on the ridiculous argument that if you are going to be pro-life, you must also support social welfare: The Trouble with the Social Welfare Modifier to the Pro-life Position. I am as pro-life as they come and I also support the church and individuals helping the poor but as Baker points out, abortion is evil on its face and opposing something as evil as abortion doesn't require a secondary requirement. Abortion is evil and should be opposed and that opposition is not predicated on support for social welfare, especially when considering the abysmal record of governmental efforts to alleviate poverty.
