Sadly, we live in an RU 486 world, where children are viewed as an interruption to an otherwise carefree sexual lifestyle. Just the other day, courts ruled that the “Plan B” abortion pill would be available to 17 year olds over the counter (see here). We can rest assured that sexual promiscuity comes with a...

The backlash of Notre Dame
According to this story, Catholics are fairly outraged at the decision of the administration to invite Barack Obama to speak this spring at Notre Dame. Considering his activism on behalf of abortion, many Catholics believe he ought not to be put forward as one to be emulated and honored. Some of the opposition refer to... Continue Reading →
The Apple and the Floodgate
Wesley J. Smith asserts that the Obama move on funding embryonic stem cells is akin to taking another bite from the forbidden fruit. Indeed, he interacts extensively with an article from the New York Times which he believes cries out for a further devouring of forbidden and foreboding fruits of destruction. (See here) Dr. R....

Rejected Ad
You may have seen this already, but it not you should watch it. Then ask yourself why NBC and the NFL do not want such a "controversial" ad to run during the Super Bowl. The group sponsoring the ad is called catholicvote.org. I am not Catholic, and I am not real crazy about the name... Continue Reading →
Feminists Hurt Women
Womanhood is under attack, and the reason is feminism. Women in the 19th Century in America had reason to complain. They were not treated equal to men. As a result of the Christian belief that all souls are equal before their Creator, women took their complaints to the masses and much good followed. However, the... Continue Reading →
Historic Change?
I do not have the Inauguration glow that many have today. I think the problem is all mine. I know this is a day for America, when we unite behind the free democratic process which has worked and delivered to us a president, an historic president (as we are so frequently reminded). Well, history is... Continue Reading →
Forced Abortions
Not much has changed in China. Sure, they have adopted a capitalist economic system--sort of; (it's still under communist control). At heart, however, the nation is still communist, which means it is still ungodly in its view of human life. This story, which is not worth mentioning in U.S. news outlets, speaks of the horrors...

Voting for Piper
No, not John Piper, although he is worthy of our support as a great man of God. Today, my mind is on Piper Palin. Maybe if we all remember that sweet little girl licking her hand to fix baby Trig's wayward hair at the Republican convention we will be a bit more cheerful today and... Continue Reading →
Is Obama OK?
There is a common line going around that it is OK for pro-life people to vote for Obama (even though he favors taxpayer funded abortion on demand and has even been in favor of allowing infanticide). The reason some say it is ok is that they figure abortion is just one of several important life... Continue Reading →
Sanctity of Life
Dr. Gushee was the first seminary professor I heard when I visited Southern Seminary long, long ago, seeking the Lord’s will for my call to the ministry. Though I haven’t always agreed with him since, I have often been encouraged by his writing. He has a good article here which mentions, among other things, the... Continue Reading →
Choice Is Abandonment
I link a blog here which describes two different stories concerning our pro-choice culture. In the one story, a woman dies after drinking anti-freeze. In the other story, a man loses his arm. In both stories, the medical community is unsure of how to respond to people in need. It seems the freedom to choose... Continue Reading →
Abortion and the Election

Husband Kills Wife
This article tells the story of a many who murdered his wife. There is a consistent pattern at work here with abortion. I think it shows in the deplorable decision handed down by this judge. This is murder, plain and simple. This is atrocious, and it shows just where we are headed in terms of... Continue Reading →
Slight Detour Worth Considering
Professor Robbie George of Princeton writes a lucid and scathing review of Barack Obama’s record on abortion and concludes that one cannot be pro-life and pro-Obama without blatant hypocrisy. Read his article here…
Impact of Abortion
Blacks and the impact of abortion Dr. Alveda King here and Bishop Harry Jackson here have spoken out against abortion because of the way that it affects the African American population. These two outspoken opponents of abortion are not completely off-base in asserting a black genocide as a result of abortion. When one researches... Continue Reading →
