Well, Nancy Pelosi has been sworn in (and I have had to stop myself from vomitting a few times). She’s made history as the first female speaker of the house and many are calling this an advancement for women, but SanFranNan’s stron pro-abortion views, and voting record, is actually a disservice to women everywhere. With a 0% pro-life voting record … Read More
Ashley the Pillow Angel
I saw this story about the disabled little girl whose parents decided to stunt her growth to ensure that they would be able to treat her at home for a longer period of time. While realizing that the parents did what they thought was best to continue to treat her themselves, something still seemed wrong about the whole thing and … Read More
Exposing Media Bias on Abortion
Earlier last year Jack Hitt, a reporter for the New York Times, wrote an article attempting to explain the horrors of criminalized abortion, using the case of a woman who was allegedly put in jail in El Salvador for having an abortion. LifeSiteNews investigated this story and, in November, wrote an article exposing the truth. The woman was in fact … Read More
Congress is at it Again
Next week the US House of Representitives is scheduled to take up another measure that would overturn the limits President Bush put on funding embryonic stem cell research.

While you’re at it, find the local pregnancy care center and make contact with them. It is likely they are … Read More
Mary the Mother of God
Today was the Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God. Like the feast of the Holy Family, this special feast, which celebrates the motherhood of Mary, calls to mind the importance of family, with an emphasis on the beauty and sanctity of motherhood. By being born of a woman, Christ exalted the dignity of women. All women are called to … Read More
The New Year Has Begun
So it is time to look back on the year that has come to an end. Wesley Smith wrote a piece for the Center for Bioethics and Culture last month highlighting the ups and downs in bioethics last year. He also did a radio interview on the same subject. Jennifer Lahl also has a similar look back on her blog, … Read More
The Holy Family and the New Year
Today was the feast of the Holy Family. It is significant not only that Christ came to earth, but also that he came to earth as a member of a family. The birth of our Savior into the Holy Family of Mary and Joseph reveals the sanctification of family life. This is especially important today because of the breakdown of … Read More
