U.S. Military to Provide Morning-After Pill to Soldiers Abroad
ByFrom the irony department… Apparently, the Pentagon has approved the “Morning-After Pill” for soldiers abroad. Besides the fact that this just shows that military life is not one exemplifying virtue, I will be interested to see the pro-life lobby’s response to this. Who wants to make a bet that they will yell and scream about the morning-after pill without batting an eye or saying a word about the death and destruction the military causes abroad to fifty-thousand times more individuals who are maimed, killed, displaced, and oppressed through military occupation?
The pro-life lobby can be horribly inconsistent, and as I’ve said before the tragedy is that pro-life voters still think the Republican Party is the answer when for six straight years of Republican domination of the Federal Government they did virtually nothing. The only things Republicans have done to limit abortion was to “ban” partial-birth abortion from the Federal level and temporarily stop funding for abortions from the Feds. When will Christians learn that the Republican Party is patently ridiculous?

Wow, so they’re finally (sort of) recognizing that all those babies the soldiers produce with foreign women (mostly coerced, I believe) end up shunned in their societies, or end up orphans. Orphans who have a hard time getting adopted.
On another note, thanks for this blog! Really neat. (And yes, my name really is Liberty!)
Liberty: It would seem to me that this is more directed toward women in the military rather than Middle Eastern women accosted by men. Did I miss something in the article or do you have more specific evidence that supports your statement above?
Well, the AP article does not seem to be too specific about it. But it’s been buzzing around the adoption blogs as an issue that relates to children born within a military context and abroad. Though I’m surfing around to see other articles about the same policy it does seem meant for women in the military. It’s doubtful they would give it to foreign women, huh? Sorry to be confusing!
