“To me there’s nothing different in principle with a Catholic adoption agency, or indeed Methodist adoption agency, saying the rules in our community are different and therefore the law shouldn’t apply to us. Why not then say sharia can be applied to different parts of the country? It doesn’t work.”
Thanks for opening this email and starting to take time to read this message about ending abortion. With every TWO clicks of the clock, ONE baby is aborted in America.

Mitt Romney has three big things going for him in today’s Republican caucuses in Nevada: Momentum (and fund-raising chops) from his big win in Florida’s primary election Tuesday. A fractured and therefore ineffectual tea party movement. And a lot of Mormon coreligionists. At this point in the campaign, with former tea party favorites Michele Bachmann, [...]

Three quite thuggish articles in as many days demonstrate that anti-Christian bigotry is alive and well in our mainstream media.

The first [...]
