Democrats, Obama, and Abortion: Turning Liberalism Incoherent

Does Increased Welfare Spending or Pro-Life Legislation Reduce Abortion?

By
Catholics in Alliance recently released a study questioning the effectiveness of pro-life legislation and arguing that greater spending on welfare programs was a better strategy for reducing abortion.

Public funding restrictions and informed-consent laws, however, are effective at reducing abortion rates.

Obama and Infanticide

Thinking About Greed

By
Beginning in the time of Aristotle and leading up to the current financial crisis, greed and trust have played important yet shifting roles in the structure of the world's economies. One of the reasons we face the current crisis is our failure to deal with either properly.
