Out of Egypt:

Not much more to say right now. Kinda surreal to be here as part-student, part not. Glad to not be a full student anymore. Chattanooga, Covenant is definitely attaining the status of a phase in my life now. It's a time of uncertainty.

But that's cliche. I'll say no more.

"I'll comment on the article myself sometime soon, and hopefully fix the comments so that they don't wrap improperly." Evan Donovan, his previous entry.

Followed by "Not much more to say right now. " Evan Donovan, his current entry.

"If Evan Donovan has not much more to say right now, he can always refer to previous entries for writing direction." Sarah Funke, current facetious comment.

Followed by "Hope your foreign language testing is going well. Have fun seeing folks." Sarah Funke, current less facetious comment.

Thanks Sarah. I have been. I'll see you when you get here - obvious and song-quoting as that statement is.

Yes, I have quite a backlog of unkept blogging promises. Maybe if I was making money (or being graded) on this thing I would have a better record.

Anyway, one comment on the article (since you (indirectly) asked) (disclaimer: this is written late and off-the-cuff): I am pro-life since I believe that fetuses are human beings in the obvious sense that they certainly don't have the ability to grow up into anything else. As Ronald Reagan said, we don't know when the soul (however we understand that metaphysically fraught concept) enters the body (or even if there is such a thing, absent God's revelation), but in such life-or-death matters we should err on the side of caution. Yet if anyone should be penalized for abortion, it should be those who provide it - just as drug dealers are punished worse than users. Though one class is making a decision I believe to be immoral, those who enable them to carry this decision through have greater responsibility. The women are victims too, and should be shown compassion - partly if, as in the article, they have other children who need a mother's care.
