  and legal ones over such issues as abortion and homosexuality--two issues about which, increasingly, critics are told to keep their mouths shut or face punishment: The Bible and natural law teachings tell us that God's law is written upon our hearts and are known to all. As Christian philosopher J. Budziszewski writes in his book, The

  I think Gina's point is about demographics and Reverend Longcrier seemingly representing most voices of a certain voting bloc instead of a minority (used in the broader sense of the word). You seem to have a problem with most arguments made on this blog regarding abortion and homosexuality -- do you suggest these behaviors are compatible with a

  Right to Life of Montgomery County reports that Planned Parenthood has been sued for not reporting instances of child sexual abuse, including of an 11-year-old girl in California, a 12-year-old in Arizona, and a 16-year-old in Ohio. In Connecticut, according to their newsletter, On the Beat, "A 22-year-old-man was arrested for impregnating

  I'm sure there's much more to this tragic story -- the deaths of four preborn children in Maryland at the hands of their mother -- that will emerge in the coming days and weeks. For now, it simply seems more than a bit sadly ironic that the mother's name is Freeman and the apparent father's name is Godman.

  I love the last sentence in this piece about Peter Bergson, who pressured the American government to rescue European Jews from the Holocaust and whose work saved 200,000 lives: "Around Washington, Bergson earned the nickname 'the nuisance diplomat.'" What a great nickname. May we all be nuisances for the sake of those stumbling to the

Anthony List) to deal with this question when Anna Quindlen asked it in a Newsweek column. They do a stellar job of showing that no, this does not have to be

  Dr. Woo Suk Hwang is back in the news. You'll recall Dr. Hwang as the South Korean scientist who falsified research on stem cells from cloned embryos, and was disgraced. Now the BBC News reports on an independent review of his work suggesting that he actually accomplished something more remarkable: Virgin Birth, or parthenogenesis as it's

It seems that Barnes had researched the matter further when, in a September 1, 2006 column entitled Choosing Life, he wrote: Let's begin with Reagan. In his first year as California governor in 1967, the legislature passed a bill to legalize "therapeutic" abortions. It was an issue

  James Dobson has a new piece that will begin airing on ABC Radio today. I think he speaks for a lot of us. Not to diminish Michael Vick's actions, but some of us think the world would be a better place if we could get as outraged over the killing of innocent human lives as we have for man's best friend. You can hear the whole

"That speaks volumes not only about the conditions of those clinics, but also Planned Parenthood's concern for the well being of the women it claims to serve," Forney added. Janet Morana, also a co-founder of the group, agreed that women's safety should come first and said Planned Parenthood's

  Over at Wittingshire, Amanda Witt shares two very different stories of children with Down syndrome: Olivia and Daniel. Both stories make clear that it's the people who think these children have nothing to offer, who would rather dispose of them than make the time and effort to care about them, who are the losers. Sadly, as Amanda writes, "For
