I’m all into taking care of the environment. I recycle and other such things. After all, we are called by God to be good stewards of the earth. I even wrote a post about it a few years ago.

At their conference last year, they had an entire session on the detrimental effects of toxins from the Pill on our environment. Apparently hormones from the pill are leaking into our water ways and reeking havoc on wild life, i.e., male fish with ovaries. Just another sign that the pill is no good. (Another something the Catholic Church has known all along!). I’m into organic food and recently received a magazine called ACRES.

Men like Edmund Burke, Richard Weaver and Russell Kirk have understood this for quite a while. The Catholic Church knows a thing or two about it too :) As a city dweller, I'm probably the only one on my block that composts and attends latin mass. Go figure.

This thinking was used to support Alito's confirmation as Supreme Court Judge. I heard it over and over again from pro-lifers, including from some at Allen County Right To Life after Alito was confirmed. That NARAL and others opposition to Alito was evidence that Alito was a good choice as judge and would vote to overturn Roe v Wade and uphold pro-life law. And this was their best reason for supporting Alito, since they admitted that they had not checked out how Alito decided on pro-life cases, some of which were extremist pro-abortion decisions. There's a lot of bad "science" that is used to back up the claim that people are the reason why "global warming" is occuring.
