Christian Carnival CCXXIV

The 224th Christian Carnival was posted yesterday at the Evangelical Ecologist, and you should probably check it out.

You should also make a point of checking out the Evangelical Ecologist often. It’s one of my very favorite blogs, though I admit that I haven’t discussed that one much. I was considering running a series of my favorite blogs, but then I had a fear of leaving someone out, or not getting them in the right order, or something irrational. Ah, well … anyway, EvanEco is one of them.

McCain vs. Pro-lifers

Jill Stanek, a wonderful columnist whose work you should read, wrote a commentary about John McCain in the 2000 Presidential race against George Bush and Alan Keyes. The conventional wisdom has been that pro-lifers more or less have to back John McCain in this election, since he is at least a mild pro-lifer, while the Democratic nominee will certainly not be. Barack Obama, in fact, has fought long and hard against even protecting the lives of babies who survive abortions and wind up born alive (he prevented the Born Alive Infant Protection Act from passing while in the state Legislature).
