Last night, NRLC marked the 25th anniversary of the founding of Teens for Life. It was a sad occasion in a way, since the pro-life movement always hopes to go out of business, but they kept the tone upbeat. The celebration featured lots of pictures of teens with big hair in the 80’s. Next, Dr. […]
I’m trying a new format for my weekly news roundup – let me know what you think and please join in the discussion. Domestic News – In a strange twist, in Iowa a controversial new program has been set up where women virtually talk to a doctor and then a machine spits out their abortion […]
