Read More“You are hypocritical”
Our May 7th blogpost, “How much is a human life worth,” generated some pushback with this response: “You hit the nail on the head when you called the fetuses “unborn humans.” Until they are born, they are not humans, but potential humans.

The poor Little Sisters of the Poor are back in court again, thanks to lawsuits filed by pro-abortion governors.

By Tom Quiner Holy Week is upon us. What a perfect time to enjoy good religious movies, especially with so many of us homebound due to the coronavirus lockdown.
