IVF is wrong, and so is this ramen

Because it’s wrong​

This is not a post about politics. Or at least, it’s not a post about who you should vote for in November — your vote is your own.

But I did some reflecting over the weekend on a proposal Donald Trump announced Thursday, which would require either the government or insurance companies — the details are still quite scant — assume the costs of in vitro fertilization treatment for couples.

Like a lot of Catholics — regardless of how they plan to vote — I was taken aback by the idea. Catholics have long fought against the notion of taxpayer funding for abortion, in large part because of their opposition to being made an involuntary cause, however remote, in a chain of events that leads to the unjust destruction of human lives in abortion.

That’s also the reason why so many Catholics groups fought so hard against the HHS contraception mandate — because people like the Little Sisters of the Poor didn’t want to be a link in a chain that would lead to provision of contraception, and thus connected, however remotely, to the moral evil of contracepting the conjugal act.

The Little Sisters of the Poor dedicate their life to care for the elderly…why would they need contraception? Enlighten me, please.

Ugh. I hope Obama comes to repentance before it’s too late.

Apparently, it was nothing like carbona?

I don’t think anything is wrong with ramen, but it was the particular ramen the writer was eating at the time
One could argue that ramen is inferior to Vietnamese Pho, but that is a matter of taste not morality

Some people lump all Asian noodles as Ramen and don't understand the difference.

When I think of Ramen I think of those cheap ramen noodles that come in different colors of packaging based on their flavors, orange for chicken, pink for shrimp, green for chili etc

I really enjoy spicy shin noodles. Yum.

Ramen refers to the type of noodle, so you are somewhat correct in thinking, but it is what’s done with them that makes the dish
I had this last night

Spicy shin noodles are yummy, also Udon noodles if one enjoys something thicker
