These indicate that Gerald Campbell does favor the legal status quo because he is arguing to keep the legal status quo.

Gerald Campbell writes: “The question of freedom is not about the freedom to murder. It is about the freedom from government intrusion into the life of the individual.”

Gerald Campbell’s argument does not advocate killing but does advocate keeping abortion legal which is the status quo. It’s the “pro-choice” argument, a women should have a legal right to choose to either keep her baby or kill her baby

Or this where Gerald Campbell defends those with perfect NARAL voting records as being pro-life. They’re just attempting eliminate abortion by different and better means. A better means which includes keeping the legal status quo.

But of course this does not mean that he favors the legal status quo.

Its rather telling that you automatically accuse me of misquoting Mark Shea. He gave reasons he thought Palin would work, and I gave reasons she wouldn’t. That you automatically assume some kind of antipathy is both depressing and a little bit creepy.

Then again, it makes you like 70% of the other commenters here.

When I started writing this, I thought I would go into many more issues; but as went through it, you can tell, just to get the few I did, took quite a bit of space, and I thought they were the big issues, so left it with them.

So Obama is guilty of formal cooperation in evil. At least we agree on that.

I also believe with every core of my being that the strategy adopted today by the Catholic right, by the Republican party, by the politicized pro-life movement is a shameless charade that will do nothing to foster a culture of life or to reduce abortions in this country.

I have said all of this before. I say so again to face down the poison that had infested our comboxes as of late.

You should stop saying thing like this, unless Gerald Campbell has ceased being a contributor. You do know of his position, much as you might try to deny it. He’s even said that pro-lifers are “insane” for trying to change the legal status quo.

However, please say it quietly and repeat it to yourself: In a time of financial and economic melt-down of neo-liberal globalist capitalism (caused by the emergence of the creditor states, as world powers); in a time of increasingly militarist responses to those pressures; in a time of massive environmental degradation; in a time of increasing dysfunction of America’s national health system (and the possibility of epidemic-scale disasters in that sector); in a time of proliferation of “dirty” weapons of mass destruction–ABORTION SIMPLY CANNOT BE THE Sine Qua Non for political choices, and to make it such would be a singularly unpatriotic act, the betrayal of whatever community might eventually be capable of acting in unison to eliminate the social and economic pressures that are instrumental in causing so many abortions.
