Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.


A World Where Every Child is Wanted

One way to do that is to abort all the unwanted children. Rather than encourage new ways to love and care for children in our society, Peter Durkin says we should encourage birth control so “every child is wanted, cared for and loved.”

I don’t have any objection to that, and it sounds good on the surface, but who is this Peter Durkin? He’s the president of Planned Parenthood of Houston. Planned Parenthood also want to perform more abortions more effectively, derives 34% of its income from abortions, opposes education about abstinence, and gets all a’twitter about rising abortion rates (login: pphouston, password: pphouston):

Abortion procedures: 2,882 vs. 6,876. This growth in clients is thanks to our Fannin and Bryan staff, our medical director and other staff physicians.

  1. It should make you nervous about supporting birth control, by artificial means when this fellow also supports it. Somewhere there is an underlying truth here.

  2. Good point, Sean. I’m not ready to change my mind there yet, though. Bad people can still have good ideas.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
