“So you kill them now or you kill them later”
The Alabama House of Representatives just passed a bill that would make human abortion a Class A felony for doctors (but not the mother). Republicans overwhelming supported the bill.

Read MoreThe weights of vengeance and mercy
By Karen Zainal Vengeance dominates the tide of social media these days. Sometimes it comes in the form of mob justice descending upon the perpetrator of a crime inadequately punished, other times as smaller and subtler smears against those who have wronged us. But perhaps we could spend some time pondering on the perennial tug-of-war…
Read MoreThe dehumanization of the fetus continues
Just as slaves and Jews were dehumanized to justify stripping them of human rights, the dehumanization of the fetus continues from every conceivable corner of America. The latest dehumanizing effort comes from the medical community. A lecture in a University of California San Diego School of Medicine course, Evolution of Human Disease, characterized the human…

By Tom Quiner It’s hard to believe Psalm 22 was written a millennium before Jesus was nailed to the cross. This messianic psalm, which describes the travails of David, surely prefigures Christ. It is reminiscent of Psalm 51 which opens our Lenten season with Ash Wednesday, just as Psalm 22 is sung on Palm Sunday,…
