“Even with a bill that they believe will or could be a successful end run around the tyranny of the federal judiciary, [those who passed the Texas ‘heartbeat’ bill] still chose to violate God’s law absent any even pragmatically compelling reason to do so. This is indicative of an addiction to compromise on the part […]
“These are the faces of women who died because they could not obtain safe and legal abortions. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, these pictures could include your daughter, sister, mother, best friend, granddaughter.” — found on home page (in 2005) for the website of the National Organization for Women (NOW) when Justice O’Connor announced […]
“If you think that not paying someone a living wage is morally equivalent to dismembering a living human being, your moral compass is broken.” — Scott Klusendorf, president of Life Training Institute As with last week’s “8 Things the Abortion Debate Is NOT About”, this post is brought to you via the excellent book, The […]

Though it is pretty much quoted verbatim, I have taken the liberty of adjusting the formatting a little for readability…. “Here’s what I’ve never understood about evangelicals who endorse Biden: Why is Donald Trump’s character an obstacle to […]
“I just don’t think that we really need to make a projection when it’s such a moving target that you could so easily be wrong and mislead people.” — Dr. Anthony Fauci in New York Magazine‘s Intelligencer Today, I present to you three articles I thought were pretty good reads regarding the COVID-19 situation.
