In direct contravention of my wife's explicit instructions, herewith I inaugurate my first blog. Long may it prosper.

For some reason, I think I have something to say to you. You think you have something to say to me? Email me at: gideonsblogger -at- yahoo -dot- com

 
And, last post of the week: a deeply disturbing account in the daily Standard of a story in the Times (of course) of a young girl being talked into an abortion by her parents. It sent chills down my spine. The author is absolutely right: the really hard-core supporters of abortion rights (like the Times) are not pro-choice. They are pro-abortion. They think abortion is the only correct solution to an unplanned pregnancy. I once heard Rebecca Walker (daughter of Alice, the author) say that it was a positive good for women to have abortions because the only way to protect a right is to exercise it. I don't know what else to call such a viewpoint but evil.
