Susan Yoshihara SUMMER 2007/1 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION How fitting that we open this issue with an article that concludes: “The intellec- tual high ground is now ours”—though we would say it always has been. My late father, J. P. McFadden, founded this Review with the conviction that there could be no equivalent on the “other side”—how could one muster philosophical, legal, religious and moral arguments in support of killing the unborn? And yet, the point our lead author, Ramesh Ponnuru, is making in “The Afterparty of Death” concerns a shift in the arguments from the early days of abortion “re- form.” “In 1970 and for many years thereafter, advocates of legal abortion por- trayed themselves as the party of cool, dispassionate reason. Their opponents were the prisoners of superstition and emotion.” Things have changed: because of medi- cal and scientific advances, there is no longer any plausible way to deny the “alive- ness” of a fetus. And the pro-life ranks have grown, especially among the young. Faced with these facts, Ponnuru writes, abortion advocates tend to either “refuse to engage the argument at all or to retreat behind their feelings and other non-rational defenses.” Ponnuru, a senior editor of National Review, reaches his conclusion after taking on several critics of his 2006 book, The Party of Death. When you read the suc- cinct summary of the arguments there, and his motivation for writing the book—he wanted to show that, since the 1990’s, early trends have been reversing and there is “evidentiary basis for hope” that the tide is turning—you will understand why his critics were numerous and … exercised. Ponnuru is a deft, logical thinker and masterful writer. One critic, unable to mount a logical argument, resorted to accus- ing him of clandestinely basing his positions on his Catholicism, as if there could be no alignment between religious convictions and clear reasoning. Ponnuru writes, “For the record: When I was an agnostic I opposed abortion for the same reasons I give in the book.” One issue Ponnuru thinks “in retrospect” he should have addressed more fully is the matter of punishment for women who abort. There is much misunder- standing on this subject: “Many people of good will misguidedly believe that pro- life premises lead logically to draconian punishments for abortionists and their clients.” There are also deliberate attempts to mislead on this subject, as Kathryn Jean Lopez, a colleague of Ponnuru’s at National Review and a nationally-syndicated columnist, writes next. Newsweek’s Anna Quindlen (a celebrated Catholic abortion advocate) challenged pro-lifers in a recent column to answer the question: “How much jail time?” She contended there are “only two logical choices: hold women accountable for a criminal act by sending them to prison, or refuse to criminalize the act in the first place.” Um … no, Ms. Quindlen—as Lopez argues, this is an example of promoting “pro-choice fright propaganda” (another sign we are gaining ground). Jail time for 2/SUMMER 2007 THE HUMAN LIFE REVIEW women has never been a focus or goal of the mainstream pro-life movement. Lopez answers Quindlen: “We’re not looking to further victimize women. They are al- ready victimized—by abortion.” But she also stresses that even to spend time do- ing so plays “into the pro-abortion spin machine” (pay attention, pro-life presiden- tial candidates). There is one practical, non-debatable consequence of the abortion culture here and in many other countries: a shortage of babies. In Boomers Go Bust, senior editor William Murchison warns there is a crisis brewing for baby-boomers who may look around in their golden years and find that the “Social Security well has run dry from lack of sufficient contributions.” The deeper issue is: how did child- bearing lose its standing? It used to be not just another lifestyle “choice” but what people did, because birth and children are good, and also part of the essential “natural cycle of decline and replenishment.” Now, children are sometimes seen as less important than material goods, travel, or privacy—and the “modern mind” is in denial about what consequences this attitude has and will have. (Interestingly, Ire- land, where abortion is still illegal, has the smallest ageing population in Europe, with only 11 percent of the country aged 65 and over—a statistic just announced this August. While most of Europe is seeing the “graying” of its population, Ireland’s nurseries and schools are struggling to keep up with the country’s little ones.) We are currently witnessing (God help us), the “early stages of the longest presi- dential campaign in our history,” writes senior editor Mary Meehan. And what are the candidates saying about “our” issues? According to Meehan, what many of them do say doesn’t ring with sincerity or substance. There is a lot of the clichéd “personally opposed but” talk, and since “many Americans believe abortion is solely a religious issue,” it isn’t challenged. Some candidates do talk about their faith, but only how it has influenced their thinking about non-controversial issues. What, wonders Meehan, would it be like if candidates were forced to give candid an- swers? She offers some first-rate options for questions “guaranteed to get the candidate’s attention. But you may hear some stammering—and see some panicky, deer-in-the-headlights looks—before you receive answers.” Even among those who agree that the killing of the unborn ought to be against the law, there are heated disagreements about how best to work for that goal. Attor- ney Paul Benjamin Linton, who we welcome to our pages, argues here that “the pro-life movement is bedeviled by three ways of thinking that seriously impede its progress.” As he enumerates each, he defends the “incremental” strategy against its critics, taking as his starting point assertions made by Professor Charles Rice, an influential pro-life thinker who is “well-known for his ‘purist’ views and … his support of efforts to establish the constitutional ‘personhood’ of the unborn child.” The latter effort is one Linton sees as lacking—“The pursuit of ‘personhood,’ espe- cially as an alternative to reducing abortions through appropriate regulatory mea- sures, is a counsel of despair dressed up in the guise of false hope.” Several of our contributors in the last few years have been much more optimistic SUMMER 2007/3 INTRODUCTION about a personhood amendment, including Patrick Mullaney, who wrote about it in “A Father’s Trial: The Case for Personhood” (Spring 2001), and “Exactly What Does Constitute Us?” (Summer 2004). For this issue, Mullaney, who is also an attorney, has written an essay about the foundations of American freedom. For an understanding of freedom itself, he looks to the thought of the late Pope John Paul II, who argued that there could be no true freedom that didn’t include a respect for the dignity of the human person. Mullaney writes that America’s history with sla- very “demonstrates a progression of values, of the correction of prior imperfec- tions with standards that are more just.” But “It is now the life issues … that test the obligations and limitations of freedom.” Mullaney contrasts John Paul II’s concept of freedom to that expressed in the Supreme Court’s 1992 Casey v. Planned Par- enthood decision: that “at the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own con- cept of existence, of meaning, of the universe and of the mystery of human life.” Casey’s “freedom” celebrates diversity and tolerance, even unto allowing for the killing of the unborn—this, Mullaney writes, is not the authentic freedom for which America was founded.

  • Robin in Context
    Robin in context Introduction Robin produced some 115 compositions, among them a symphony, a violin concerto, a ballet, a masque, an opera, two oratorios, chamber music, pieces for piano and for organ, songs and choral works, both small- and large-scale. However, in addition to being the composer’s favourite and most personal genre, the songs for solo voice and piano are Robin’s largest and most condensed genre. These compositions will now be considered here within the context of early twentieth century English music and later through critical analysis. By the time Robin commenced song composition, a school of English song was well established through the work and compositions of such ‘main’ composers as Parry, Stanford, Vaughan Williams, Gurney, Warlock and Finzi. However, in the contextualisation of Robin’s songs, other aspects need to be considered in addition to the main composers of song. These include the existence of a twentieth century English musical renaissance and its main composers; Robin’s studies at the Royal College of Music; contemporary composition students at the RCM; the ‘organ loft’ song composers; the friendship with Balfour Gardiner; and the development of music publishing, the British Broadcasting Company (subsequently, Corporation), musical education in schools and amateur music-making (including the many local musical festivals throughout the country). 1 The twentieth-century English musical renaissance Howes (1966) and Hughes/Stradling (1993) suggest and have proven the existence of a twentieth century ‘English musical renaissance’. Having argued the necessity for such a phenomenon, these writers explain its development, including a revival in the music of the Tudors and Bach, and a systematic preservation of and belief in English folksong.

    A MEDIUM FOR MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY AND AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997 CASE 1 1. Photograph of Harriet Monroe. 1914. Archival Photographic Files Harriet Monroe (1860-1936) was born in Chicago and pursued a career as a journalist, art critic, and poet. In 1889 she wrote the verse for the opening of the Auditorium Theater, and in 1893 she was commissioned to compose the dedicatory ode for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Monroe’s difficulties finding publishers and readers for her work led her to establish Poetry: A Magazine of Verse to publish and encourage appreciation for the best new writing. 2. Joan Fitzgerald (b. 1930). Bronze head of Ezra Pound. Venice, 1963. On Loan from Richard G. Stern This portrait head was made from life by the American artist Joan Fitzgerald in the winter and spring of 1963. Pound was then living in Venice, where Fitzgerald had moved to take advantage of a foundry which cast her work. Fitzgerald made another, somewhat more abstract, head of Pound, which is in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Pound preferred this version, now in the collection of Richard G. Stern. Pound’s last years were lived in the political shadows cast by his indictment for treason because of the broadcasts he made from Italy during the war years. Pound was returned to the United States in 1945; he was declared unfit to stand trial on grounds of insanity and confined to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for thirteen years. Stern’s novel Stitch (1965) contains a fictional account of some of these events.
