He’s probably best known for his portrayal of Christ in Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ.” Actor Jim Caviezel, I’m so very glad to blog, is pro-life. From Catholic Digest:
“Part of what had spurred the adoption was a pro-life challenge. Could you share a little about that?
“This guy I know said, ‘You’re pro-life. Tell you what, if you really believe in what you speak, adopt a child — not any child, he’s got to have a serious deficiency,’ (and I will become pro-life). He never changed his (position), but it convicted me. I don’t think he thought I would step up to the plate.
“I was listening to Johnny Mathis the other day and I said, ‘What an amazing voice.’ I have yet to hear another person sound like Johnny Mathis. How are we so arrogant to think the 51.5 million babies who have died in this country… Look, I am for helping women. I just don’t see abortion as helping women. And I don’t love my career that much to say, ‘I’m going to remain silent on this.’ I’m defending every single baby who has never been born. And every voice that would have been unique like Johnny Mathis’. How do we know that we didn’t kill the very child who could have created a particular type of medicine that saves other lives?”
Pro-life and easy on the eyes.
People really ought to watch where they’re stepping. The dung can get pretty high, and irony often broadsides those who don’t see it coming.
Take this statement from Planned Parenthood. The world is mourning the death of Ted Kennedy, whose son I almost hit at a stop sign years ago. Blogger and former labor and delivery nurse Jill Stanek linked to and highlighted this portion of Planned Parenthood’s statement:
If the point of the post and highlighted statement eludes you, I’ll enlighten you. Ted Kennedy, a Roman Catholic, believed women had the right to kill their unborn babies.
When Planned Parenthood wrote that Kennedy provided “a voice to those Americans who otherwise would not have been heard,” the abortion mill obviously didn’t mean the literally voiceless. I suppose the figuratively voiceless are those perpetually oppressed minorities and “poor” folks.
Disclaimer: This post isn’t a celebration of Kennedy’s death. Just wanted to “raise awareness” of the abortion mill’s statement and advise its author to avoid unintentionally ironic sentiments in the future.
I wouldn’t blog it if it weren’t true. It’s so blatant, my six-year-old nephew could name it and explain it.
Don’t hate the messenger; hate the media bias that sees one group as dumb special children and the other as the embodiment of evil itself. No matter what color you are, you’re willfully deaf and blind if you claim to neither hear it nor see it:
