Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
The celebration of Saint Patrick has become 99.9% secularized at this point, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t add a moral component. SecularProLife.org member Phil E. has an excellent suggestion:
St. Patrick didn’t die so you could drink. Instead of getting drunk tonight, consider donating that money you would have spent damaging your liver to a good charity.
In other news:
Planned Parenthood is once again telling the long-refuted lie that the Stupak Amendment will prevent women from buying private abortion coverage with their own money. And once again, they emphasize the Catholic Bishops, conveniently forgetting the other seventy-plus percent of Americans who oppose taxpayer abortion funding.
A poll by the New England Journal of Medicine found that 46% of American doctors would consider leaving their practice if Obamacare passes. The journal noted that “while a sudden loss of half of the nations physicians seems unlikely, a very dramatic decrease in the physician workforce could become a reality as an unexpected side effect of health [care] reform.”
Sorry Phil, I'm drinking.
