New York state education officials are preparing guidelines that would allow local public school districts to close private and religious schools if they determine they're not providing a good enough education and would also allow them to take parents to family court if the parents continue sending their kids to a school deemed below standard.
Next week recalls one of the darkest days in these united states at it marks the 45th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which decriminalized abortion in our federal republic and resulted in the legal destruction of 60 million innocent pre-born babies.
I have no respect for politicians and political operatives who claim "they are personally pro-life, but that abortion [through Roe v. Wade] is settled law." Such politicians are trying to have it both ways: appear to be pro-life in order to gain the support of moral-values conservatives and simultaneously appease self-proclaimed "fiscally conservative social moderates." An example of this took place last year when the Newton Republican City Committee hosted Republican Attorney General candidate Daniel Shores. Shores's answer to Ward 5 chairman Susan Carson Huffman's question where he stood on the life issue was that he was a personally pro-life Reagan conservative but that Roe v. Wade was "settled law" by the Supreme Court.
