    Trump turns up the heat on Sessions! What do you think??

    The whole show seems to be falling apart, going from bad to worse: Scaramucci in vulgar tirade against White House colleague Priebus - Scaramucci in vulgar tirade against White House colleague Priebus - BBC News

    Matt Walsh: Stop pretending you’re killing Charlie Gard ‘for his own benefit,’ you monsters

    Mere contradiction is no argument but a base assertion again. Then you understand incorrectly: far from being 'left out of the equation' and with 'NO input', the parents were involved every step of the way; heck, they were a party to all the court cases so if that's not 'involved' then I don't...

    Matt Walsh: Stop pretending you’re killing Charlie Gard ‘for his own benefit,’ you monsters

    Right, and please explain how you get a roomful of life-sustaining medical equipment into a helicopter? There isn't even enough space to house his equipment at his home (builders have offered to extend the property to accommodate it and of course all parents want their baby to die on a building...

    Matt Walsh: Stop pretending you’re killing Charlie Gard ‘for his own benefit,’ you monsters

    Sorry, but this is misinformation and 'fake news': Hirano has a vested interest in this treatment he was peddling, both financially and ethically (this treatment has not been tried on someone with Charlie's condition and of course Hirano would like a willing lab rat...), and he failed to declare...

    Earthquake in Turkey/Kos (Greek Island)

    Philly is 39 degrees North, Kos 36 degrees North. Therefore Kos is further South than Philly and cannot by any stretch of the imagination be said to be 'North-East'

    Trump turns up the heat on Sessions! What do you think??

    It's unseemly and unstatesmanlike. Cab you imagine Ronald Reagan doing this??

    British minister takes on doctrine of Original Sin

    The boat of Chalke's orthodox credentials sailed some time ago...this latest development sadly doesn't surprise me.

    Matt Walsh: Stop pretending you’re killing Charlie Gard ‘for his own benefit,’ you monsters

    It appears that Hirano never actually examined Charlie and has a financial interest in the treatment he was advocating: US doctor's intervention in Charlie Gard case 'raises ethical questions'

    John McCain Has a Brain Tumor

    Well, that is indeed the Christian response. And then we have this: AZ Republican Just Set The Record For The Sleaziest Thing Ever Witnessed In American Politics

    Is healthcare a right or a privilege II

    As Christians should this be a condition to which we aspire? Surely our Good News to share with others is that God has redeemed us from that curse in the sacrifice of His Son!

    Is healthcare a right or a privilege II

    If it is necessary for life then surely God has endowed us all with a right to it and denied the 'right ' to knowingly withhold it.

    Is healthcare a right or a privilege II

    So, what if they have McCain's condition and have to return time and time again until either they are well or they die?

    Is healthcare a right or a privilege II

    But you.must accept surely that there are circumstances where healthcare is necessary for the sustenance of Health?

    Is healthcare a right or a privilege II

    I responded by expressly quoting Locke and stating that it was explicit IMO that he was sanctioning the right to health. But, as you say, we are, as with any other text including the Bible, free to draw what conclusions we see therein. [ETA: cross posted with you: I'm not talking abiut a...

    Is healthcare a right or a privilege II

    And if they are diagnosed with a longstanding or terminal condition but cannot pay for treatment, what then? Your ER isn't going to treat them long term is it? How can you say with a straight face that such a person has the right to life in such circumstances?

    Is healthcare a right or a privilege II

    I have put forward a reasoned argument - on your Natural Law/ Rights framework terms based on John Locke and have cited an article in support. I have yet to see anything similar from your side. Unless you produce something of that nature, the observer is forced to conclude that you have no...

    Again, evidence? Or are you just throwing soundbites out there?

    Is healthcare a right or a privilege II

    Except I haven't seen the good Reverend put forward a reasoned (as opposed to unsubstantiated assertions) defence of his position as to how he can claim to be pro the right to life and not pro the right to healthcare as its adjunct.

    Is healthcare a right or a privilege II

    Alright, I'll refine my request: explain, using cogent arguments and reasoning (and, where possible, evidence), how you square being pro-life with denying that the right to healthcare is a corollary to that.
