Higher Learning Indeed

Higher Learning? by Anne Hendershott

As the mom of a college student (and more coming in just a few years), I keep my eye open for articles such as this which I see as a “state of the nation” type of report.

As the mom of a previously-homeschooled college student, you can bet I still keep [...]

US House Health Care Bill Online

The whole document can be found here.

And you have guys like these, who think it’s too long to plow through, and therefore let’s just vote on it?

You know, my mom always used to say, “If you’re not sure, don’t.” Think Conyers et al. ever heard those words of wisdom? Apparently not.

From RTL: “The [...]

Twenty-Five Years Ago

Reagan wrote this unsolicited article for Human Life Review on Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation. Oh Lord, how far we have come… how do we [...]

Before You Vote #6: Bishop Serratelli on FOCA

Bp. Serratelli: FOCA – an alarm for decent Americans to wake up

Why this is critical reading: If you don’t understand how FOCA works/will work, you need to read this. “Freedom of Choice” is such a *NOBLE* phrase — at first glance it may fool anyone into thinking that it’s so magnanimous and helpful to [...]

Before You Vote #4: A Defense of the Pro-Life Stance

One of the best I’ve seen, and boy, do we need every single one these days (warning, not for young eyes/ears):

Here’s the rest of the “Before You Vote” series [...]

Before You Vote #2: Palin on Obama and Abortion-on-Demand

Consider this:

Palin Slams Obama’s Pro-Abortion-on-Demand Record

Excerpt:

I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable, or more innocent, than a child?

Yes, every innocent life matters. Everyone belongs in the circle of protection. Every child has something to [...]

Before You Vote #1: Life is THE Foundational Issue

Here’s the rest of the “Before You Vote” series [...]

I’m Against Cloning, But…

could we maybe make an exception and clone this guy for when my daughters are ready to settle down?

Hey, he’s tall, dark and handsome, he speaks Spanish, AND he’s unequivocally PRO-LIFE??? What’s not to like?

The unedited version (contains graphic images of abortion) can be found here.

And not to minimize the impact of abortion on the [...]

Responses to Statements Around the ‘Net

This post may be qualified as venting, because I do need to get these off my chest. While I am a very opinionated person I don’t believe in confronting people who don’t know me well enough to know that I’m speaking from my heart. What makes this difficult is that I’ve been [...]

Well, duh…

High abortion rate worries NY experts

Maybe “Sex and the City” doesn’t work the way “it’s supposed to” after all? Tell me no one’s really surprised about all this.

Reminded me of an e-mail I got recently:

My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call [...]

Finally, Someone in the Philippine Media Gets It Right

And a lawyer to boot. You won’t usually see “Filipino”, “lawyer”, “writer”, and “understands Catholic teaching” all in the same sentence. Add to that he’s got an understanding of how contraceptives REALLY work. But hey, there’s always got to be a first time for everything, right?

Contraception and Abortion

Can You Believe This? Defund Planned Parenthood!!

My hubby does the taxes in our household — bless his heart — since our move to Ohio our taxes have been less complicated and we haven’t needed H&R Block like we did in the past, but still, I wouldn’t want to do it myself. Fortunately, I’m one of those people who really doesn’t have [...]
