Last week’s piece on terms that pro-lifers should avoid got a great response. Many of you had suggestions for additional phrases that we should remove from our vocabulary.

I couldn’t […]
Our dear friends at the Life Matters Journal have just released their latest issue. The lead stories are on anti-war activism, and particularly the recent rise in prominence of opposition to drones.
