A recent news item from Vancouver, British Columbia arrived in my inbox, sent by a fellow pro-lifer who has been battling the culture of death in Canada for many years.

Remember the flap over Don Imus when he made a crude comment about the Rutgers University women’s basketball team?

It is with the deepest admiration that I come to you with a story that makes me wish there were more heroic people like Susan Crump and Javier Negrete in our world.

Just when I thought there might not be anything worthy of a blog post, two news items came to my attention within the short span of five hours; In each case I was appalled at what the facts exposed.

Every political season we get around to the same old arguments, don’t we! The one I heard today is typical.

Do you remember the first time you heard about the newest in automobiles? They are called “hybrids” and the idea behind them is that they run on a combination of two or more sources of energy.

I have just been in Colorado speaking for the Colorado for Equal Rights campaign for personhood. The wonderfully committed people involved with this effort need to collect at least 76,000 signatures by the first week of May.

I grew up in and around New York City; so, at an early age, I became aware of con men plying their trade.

Some years ago a very holy priest explained that once the door was opened to contraception, all manner of sexual sins would flood the culture.

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation is not making many friends in the pro-life movement despite their seemingly sincere dedication to eradicating the threat of breast cancer and discovering helpful treatments for those women who have already been diagnosed with this dreaded disease.
