Pro life films are hard to produce and market

pro life films

There’s a very good reason pro life films are so hard to make: they turn people against human abortion. In other words, they are effective.

12 week fetus

By Tom Quiner “What is this?” I held in my hand a model of a 12 week old preborn human being, also known as a fetus, or also known as a “blob” of cells if you work for Planned Parenthood. I was working a shift for Iowans for Life at the Iowa State Fair. People poured by. We…

Our merciful Lord

our merciful Lord

By Tom Quiner “Out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord.” The psalmist might allude to drowning in the depths of dark, frigid water. Or he might allude to life’s addictions and sins that separate us from God.  Whatever the depth of our suffering, our soul is hardwired by God Himself to cry…
