An email from Wade on abortion reminded me of an article I read a while ago. Emily Maguire, an Australian writer, pointed out in the SMH that it really is hypocritical for politicians to descry the use of taxpayer funds to support abortion if they really believe it to be murder. If they really believed that a foetus is worth as much as an adult they should be protesting out the front of abortion clinics (as some people do). Instead they cluck their tongues and try to withhold money!

She's written a few more eminently sensible things since then about things like non-religious ethics and free speech around religion. So I've added her blog to my mail aggregator and the sidebar.
