ChelseaAbortion, video, Women1 Comment

This is heartbreaking h/t The Crescat: “I would break down and I would just cry…because I wasn’t a mommy. I cried almost every day for almost nine years.” It is absolutely insane to compare abortion, as many do, to other medical procedures, even major ones. By and large, people don’t tend to cry every day for years regretting their decision … Read More

Over at Catholic Lane, Mark Pickup writes about the importance of Christian perinatal hospice: There are expectant parents who face the terrible reality that their baby will be born with a terminal condition.

ChelseaHHS MandateLeave a Comment

I said before, opposition to the HHS/Obama contraception mandate is not just about Catholics or contraception.
