Today’s guest post is by Lauren Handy. She recently did some research and determined that the entire front lawn outside the Planned Parenthood facility that just opened in Washington, D.C.—right up to the door—is public property, open to pro-lifers offering alternatives to abortion! This is a bigger deal than Ron Burgundy: We asked Lauren to […]
I do not take divorce lightly. I generally think “til death do us part” should mean til death do you part, and if you can’t handle that, don’t get married. But of course, there are exceptions.
