Lack of respect
Re: Van Hee launches a constitutional challenge of bubble zone law (Dec. 2):
Thank you for the good coverage of pro-life hero Fr. Tony Van Hee.
The undemocratic bubble-zone law, in effect forbidding helpful outreach to pregnant women seeking an abortion, really needs to be challenged. But I have one question about the headline in The Register, in reference to Fr. Tony Van Hee as simply “Van Hee.” This sounds cold and disrespectful.
I am aware it is standard practice in the media to refer to people in headlines by only their surnames, and not their titles. But might not this lack of respect also tie into society’s disrespect of human life, and even God Himself? Just musing.
