Something sweet from South Bend

Tim & Terri Palmquist's blog Posted on May 20, 2009 by Tim PalmquistMay 20, 2009

Cherry Blossoms from South Bend Chocolate CompanyI wish we had time over the past few days to get involved in the controversy over pro-abortion President Obama receiving an honorary degree from “Catholic” Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.

“Common ground” with abortion supporters?

Tim & Terri Palmquist's blog Posted on May 20, 2009 by Tim PalmquistSeptember 1, 2012

I wrote the following note on Facebook responding to Bryan Kemper’s comments on President Obama’s speech at Notre Dame which suggested that abortion opponents and abortion supporters should seek “common ground”:

There are occasionally opportunities for real “common ground,” such as years ago when we were helping Chinese refugees who were fleeing China’s forced abortion policy and we cooperated with Amnesty International and a “pro-choice” women’s organization and some “pro-choice” celebrities. The refugees were finally freed and it is likely that the “pro-choice” support helped.

However, usually when “common ground” is mentioned, what it really means is that pro-lifers should stop talking about the babies and focus on handing out birth control and supporting immoral sex education.

So to me “common ground” is ok if it is for the right purpose. But Obama’s type of common ground just puts us on the devil’s side.
