Dear David, Any day now you’ll be making your appearance after nine months of hiddenness. When the time arrives, I want to be sure there are certain things you know without any doubts. First, you are loved. God loves you, and made you in love; and your father and I, living His love, participated in […]

Once my mother heard a story, maybe it was a “Darwin Awards” runner up, in which a man caught himself on fire after a whole series of mishaps caused by his own stupidity. Everyone I knew had laughed at the story, but my mom didn’t. She said it’s about time we stop blaming people for […]

They also prevent the dissemination of accurate information about sexually transmitted diseases; and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is willing to cooperate. This is old news, by media standards, but then by mainstream media standards it wasn’t news at all, which is why it didn’t come to public attention at the time. Essentially, […]

For those who don’t know the word, misandry means hatred of men, as misogyny means hatred of women. Some of us have long suspected that abortion and misandry are connected, even if we didn’t know the word. Now, another abortion promoter has given yet further evidence of the truth of this suspicion. In a recent […]

Today’s mail brought the usual barrage of envelopes: a preapproved credit card offer for only $264 initially and $140 a year afterwards; bills for water, power, and phone; and a couple of ads. In addition, two envelopes full of pretty return address labels arrived: one from March of Dimes, and one from St. Jude Children’s […]

What has the politically correct “right to die” movement to do with sexual predation? Nothing, one might think; one would be wrong. Now that society has increasingly accepted the idea that murder is right as long as the victim wanted to be murdered, killing is being not merely tolerated but sanctioned for a whole lot […]

The good news is that a new Planned Parenthood clinic has been effectively blocked from being built. Through the process of choice. One by one, contractors have chosen to drop out of the project, after urging by pro life groups and the threat of a boycott by Austin and San Antonio area churches. Alexander Sanger, […]

If you listened to the squeakiest wheels, you would get the impression that most people, and all reasonable people, are pro-choice. Pro-choice, these same squeaky wheels would further claim, means in favor of abortion rights, whether or not they would personally have an abortion. The implication is that even if you don’t believe in abortion, […]

Today I am scheduled for a prenatal sonogram, and I am filled with excitement. I get to learn, I hope, whether my baby is a boy or a girl. This is an occasion of joy, and the opportunity to decide whether to keep the blue hand-me-downs or the pink. Getting a peek into the window […]

I half expected that once Terri Schiavo had been rescued, even temporarily, her case would disappear from the media, at least for the moment. As a search for news about Terri Schiavo will indicate, this is not the case after all. Knowing that her feeding tube could be removed at any time by future acts […]
