I just don't know how to do it (the uploading part that is) :)<BR/><BR/>Posting posts with links, images and video, and basic HTML is about the extent of my expertise with web-based platforms. <BR/><BR/>One of these days I'm going to spend some time messing around with the blog and doing some online tutorials to learn how to do more, but until then I think I will have to stick to disclaimers. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466296830608945690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413141937874559546.post-42876669617705565992009-03-24T18:03:00.000-06:002009-03-24T18:03:00.000-06:00For better clarity and shorting up you blog post, ...For better clarity and shorting up you blog post, if it is possible, you may want to consider dumping the 9 paragraphs of text for "D&P's description of its Mexican partners" into a text or pdf file and upload that to your site and then place a hyperlink to the document.<BR/>...just a suggestion :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413141937874559546.post-30052078136006515972009-03-24T12:21:00.000-06:002009-03-24T12:21:00.000-06:00Anonymous,I can't agree more with your point. ...Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>I can't agree more with your point. D&P is trying to turn this into an issue about Lifesites journalistic integrity to avoid answering pointed questions about their partners. <BR/><BR/>I hadn't noticed that they weren't linking to Lifesite's articles, but now that I look it over again, your absolutely right- they must be afraid of people actually reading the interview, because it is damning. <BR/><BR/>Yes, Share Lent is an important time for D&P, but I think that makes this report by Lifesite more important. I hope people contact their bishops and priests to prevent Share Lent money from going to these groups. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the suggestion! I've added a disclaimer at the bottom of the post... I never thought about that being a possibility, but reading it the way you did I can see how you might come to that conclusion!

By making this likely true statement, D&P is fallaciously 'changing the subject' to try and sound like this is what they were being accused of. <BR/><BR/>From what I have read, LifeSiteNews.com only exposed and brought to the light the truth that "The groups support the legalization of abortion on demand throughout Mexico, call for the government to expedite and guarantee existing legal rights to abortion for rape and other reasons, and urge the distribution of contraceptives, including abortifacient 'emergency contraception'." Nowhere did I see LifeSiteNews.com stating that the groups were "actively involved in the practice of abortion".<BR/><BR/>Also, why do you suppose D&P is negligent in naming the "messenger" (LifeSiteNews.com) on any of the posts on their website? Do they not want people to read the whole interview and see what was really said by LifeSiteNews.com? Perhaps they don't want to lose funding for their "Share Lent" campaign? <BR/><BR/>D&P's credibility only suffers more as people discover that D&P's website posts only distort what LifeSiteNews.com actually said. <BR/><BR/>Parishioners should share this blog with their Pastors and demand that the "Share Lent" envelopes For Sunday March 29, 2009 be pulled from the churches until the Canadian Bishops get to the bottom of this and have completed the uncomfortable job of pruning D&P so that it will be truly enabled to bear the full fruit of Christ. <BR/><BR/><BR/>PS. One suggestion for your blog would be to change the layout a bit because when I first scanned it I zipped down to the end to see what your last paragraph said and I initially thought that you were accepting D&P's statements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
