Yesterday, in a move heralded by pro-life advocates, the European Union declined to adopt a measure that would have declared abortion to be a human right. If adopted, the proposal would have approved a violation of the right to life, marring the very concept of human rights. Moreover, abortion advocates sought to use this opportunity […]

That may not sound like much, but think about how frequently you Google things, and you’ll understand how it can quickly add up! Getting started is easy: 1. Sign […]
