In watching the coverage of the Harriet Miers nomination, I couldn't help being impressed by how some in the media seem to be fixated over the issue of abortion.
One reporters claimed that efforts to calm the waters over the Miers nomination have only inflamed controversy over Miers' pro-life position.
However, in days past, a judge's pro-choice position seemed perfectly acceptable to the mainstream media.
This strikes me as a double standard, indeed.

Thank you very kindly for your comments.
What we have in politics today is a certain coldness and hostility to the idea of life -- innocent, human life.
I don't know where certain elements of our culture went so far off track, but it did. It has.
I suspect, however, that it started to go off the rails when some people decided that the material world was far more important than the spiritual, and that their lives today were the only things that really mattered.
One hopes that we return to a better sense of the spirit that moves all of us, including the spirit that tries to find expression in the little beings struggling to live in the womb.
