		<description><![CDATA[The union of one chaste man and one chaste woman is the ideal for childbearing and must be recognized as that. To avoid diseases that would harm the success of future generations, mothers and fathers must remain morally pure and physically virgin until married, and for the health of subsequent generations, they must remain morally pure after the marriage until physical death. This is a requirement, not a choice.

		<description><![CDATA[The cultural understanding of the purpose of marriage has been destroyed over the last 40 years because almost all sense, reason and respect has disappeared in public discourse.
Serious discourse on weighty culture-altering matters is practically non-existent, beaten down by drumbeats of obnoxious self-centered demands. For many, debate over the deep issues of life counts simply [...]

		<description><![CDATA[or Illumination of Ideas
This is a continuation of my last post Adam Hamilton&#8217;s Color Theory. 
I want to be fair to Adam, because in my prior post I stated he&#8217;s assuming both sides can agree on 7 points:

Legitimate concerns of both sides
Life of mother exception
Decrease is desirable
Universal birth control access and info
Pregnancy duration &#38; moral [...]

Steve Wagner of Stand to Reason is soliciting comments regarding Adam Hamilton&#8217;s interview in Newsweek, which Adam discusses on his own blog.
Steve&#8217;s a very thoughtful and considerate guy, so when he notes someone besides himself is looking for common ground in the abortion debate it&#8217;s worth a [...]

		<description><![CDATA[In the abortion debate there is a line of argument that goes like this:
The fetus is not a moral sentient being because it doesn&#8217;t think, therefore it&#8217;s not a person and can be killed.
Such arguments are known as body/self dualism.
As you can see, those who argue this believe a human body exists, then later a [...]
