Week In The News: Campaign Intensifies, Goldman Man To Jail, Rape Comments -- Tom Ashbrook

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2012/10/26/week-in-the-news-219?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wbur_programs%2Fonpoint+%28Programs%3A+On+Point%29


All the stops pulled out this week on the presidential campaign trail.  Mitt Romney talking big change and claiming big momentum.  Barack Obama saying we can’t let that happen, and getting out the vote.

Out of nowhere, rape is back.  And God’s intention for women to carry those pregnancies, says a Romney-backed Republican.  The campaign cost tops two billion.  Polls, neck and neck.  Foreign policy comes and goes.  Trump weighs in.

This hour, On Point:  a week in the news.  Our news roundtable goes behind the headlines.

Friday News Roundup - Domestic -- Diane Rehm

Interview:
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2012-10-26/friday-news-roundup-domestic

President Barack Obama suggested he will seek a grand fiscal bargain with Republicans if he’s reelected. Obama told The Des Moines Register this week he would also work to win congressional approval of immigration reform. Mitt Romney’s campaign said he disagrees with Richard Mourdock’s comments on rape, but he hasn't asked that an ad featuring him with the Indiana Senate candidate be withdrawn. New home sales rose to the highest level in two years. The Department of Justice said it will sue Bank of America over allegations it sold defective home loans to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And a look at the legacy of George McGovern. Diane and guests discuss the week’s top national stories: what happened and why.

Atheists at the Creation Museum

Religion needs to be criticized.

“Religion remains a major obstacle to basic reforms that reduce unnecessary suffering. Think of issues like contraception, abortion, the status of women in society, the use of embryos for medical research, physician-assisted suicide, attitudes towards homosexuality, and the treatment of animals. In each case, somewhere in the world, religious beliefs have been a barrier to changes that would make the world more sustainable, freer, and more humane.”  (Peter Singer, ethicist, secular humanist, http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?section=library&page=psinger_26_4)
