Blogger appears to be having some intermittent technical problems. I will do my best to blog this weekend but cannot make any promises.
This is another one of those “good news, bad news” posts. I’ll start with the bad news: the Catherine Ferguson Academy in Detroit is in a dire position. CFA is a school for pregnant and parenting students, most of whom are young women of color. Its mission is just amazing. They are educating the students […]
Domestic News: In Maryland, Americans United for Life are coming to the aide of crisis pregnancy centers. County and City municipalities have been passing recently requiring crisis pregnancy centers from posting explicitly that they do not perform abortions and additional requirements in some areas.

New Zealand’s Court of Appeal has declared that unborn children do not have the right to life. This is not the New Zealand version of Roe v. Wade; abortion was already allowed in some circumstances, although not on demand. But the decision is a huge step backward for human rights. If the unborn have no […]
Domestic News: Indiana has been told by the Obama administration that they are not allowed to defund Planned Parenthood locally.
