  • Yeah, it’s a large part. Although, anecdotally most of the Catholics I know tend to be pro-choice (this is probably just selection bias, though).

    Interestingly, the Church’s anti-abortion stance is doctrinal, but has not been proclaimed by the papacy in an ex cathedra statement or as an essential matter of the faith. A lot of Catholics treat it as one of their faith’s “matters of conscience” and form their own personal opinions on the matter.

    Roman Catholicism finds itself in a very awkward place with regard to abortion. The Church itself was the creator of the concept of Social Justice and many of its faithful (rightfully, imo) seek to apply a similar philosophy to the topic of abortion.






  • Nope. Aide was rendered and the territorial integrity of Malaysia was maintained by returning the foreign nationals to their country of origin.

    Malaysia’s coast guard escorted away from its waters two boats carrying almost 300 undocumented Myanmar migrants found in a state of exhaustion for lack of food and water, a top agency official said.

    Authorities gave the migrants food supplies and clean drinking water after the boats were discovered on Friday two nautical miles southwest off the coast of the Malaysian resort island of Langkawi, the agency said.













  • The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), also known simply as The Washington Institute (TWI), is a pro-Israel American think tank based in Washington, D.C., focused on the foreign policy of the United States in the Near East.

    WINEP was established in 1985 with the support of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the funding of many AIPAC donors, in order to provide higher quality research than AIPAC’s own publications.John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt described WINEP as “part of the core” of the Israel lobby in the United States.
