Orson Pratt quote on Population

"And what will he do when this is filled up? Why, he will make more worlds, and swarm out like bees from the old hive, and prepare new locations. And when a farmer has cultivated his farm, and raised numerous children, so that the space is beginning to be too strait for them, he will say, “My sons, yonder is plenty of matter, go and organize a world, and people it; and you shall have laws to govern you, and you shall understand and comprehend through your experience the same things that we know.” And thus it will be one eternal round, and one continual increase; and the government will be placed under those that are crowned as kings and Priests in the presence of God." 

~Orson Pratt “A General Funeral Sermon of All Saints and Sinners;
Also, of the Heavens and the Earth,” Sermon Delivered on 25 July 1852

Dragon Mother...

In the face of the David Browers and the Peter Singers of this world is the story of the (Oct. 15th NYT) Dragon Mother... who bless her, teaches us the infinite value of every life.

Liberal Logic that I will never understand...

Governor Rick Perry gave an amazing speech over the weekend. It was Reagan-esque and I was impressed. THIS article is a sampling of the liberal retort. It goes something like this. "We don't want conservatives telling what to do with OUR bodies. They should stay out of our business. And, after all, they are sick murderers who execute death row inmates. Who are they to talk?"

Let's look at that logic for just one second.
In the year 2010 over 1.2 million of the unborn were aborted. Killed. Murdered?
In the year 2010... 29 convicted murderers received the death penalty. In a country where in 2009 15,421 murders were committed.

It is possible that 1 of those death row inmates was innocent.. Maybe. It's not likely, but possible. (One of them received an extra trial in The New Yorker)

But, that injustice aside, I can tell you this: the 1.2 million babies that were aborted... ALL were innocent. Every one.
