I said so on Facebook almost half a day ago:<\/p>\n

\"Life<\/p>\n

Why is life<\/i> such an offensive term to many folks? <\/p>\n

OK, I’ll grant that it’s not the term in and of itself. It’s the context in which it is used sometimes. Like this:<\/p>\n

An Abbotsford mom is threatening to pull her three children out of the Mennonite Educational Institute following an anti-abortion Life Day event at the middle school on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Kristy Greenwell believes administrators at MEI were in the wrong by not notifying parents in advance of a voluntary pro-life demonstration Tuesday in which kids had the option of wearing red stickers that read ‘Life.’<\/p>\n

The stickers, an idea that originated Friday afternoon from a Grade 8 girl at the school, were to show student support for unborn fetuses and against abortion.<\/p>\n

Suggestion: Next time skip the demonstration, make the stickers available, and be sure to let parents know in advance.<\/p>\n

It boggles my mind that so many people celebrate death, whether it’s at the hands of a doctor or at the hands of a Libyan rebel.<\/p>\n

Amazingly, even Christians who don’t celebrate the abortion death of a child found it in them to celebrate today’s death of Moammar Gadhafi (aka Muammar Gaddafi and Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi).<\/p>\n

But then they also celebrated the death of Osama bin Laden<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
