Don't talk to me about "pro life" while we have a hothead in the White House and enablers in the GOP controlled congress.—AileenUSA on this Memorial of Saint Clare, foundress of the Poor Clares.  Moses asks, “did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by testings [sic], by signs and wonders, by war with his strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors (nuclear weapons) all of which the LORD, you God, did for you in Egypt (and right here through the fruits of academic freedom and freedom of the press) before your very eyes?” (Deuteronomy 4:34).  “I remember the deeds of the Lord” (Psalm 77:12a) as we seem hell-bent for a nuclear holocaust.  “For the Son of Man . . . will repay each according to his conduct” (Matthew 16:27), meaning conduct has consequences.
