In a 5-4 decision released on June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States redefined marriage nationwide, mandating that same-sex couples be allowed to “marry” in every state in the union. At least two of the justices participating in the ruling should have recused themselves. Also, the U.S. Constitution never mentions marriage, so […]
Pro-life advocates should stop buying the premise that because we oppose the intentional killing of innocent human beings, we must take on other tragic societal ills under the banner of being “pro-life.” The criticisms are not only unfair; they are narrowly targeted. Is the American Cancer Society neglectful because it fights one type of disease […]
This list includes an action point for Tennesseans. Heartbeat in Preborn Baby at Five Weeks and Five Days Gestational Age1 Key point: Heartbeat legislation not only will protect the youngest among us, it also has the potential to end abortion altogether. The state of Tennessee ought to be among the states involved this movement by enacting […]
In an article titled “My Problem With Expanding Pro-life Definitions,” cultural observer and writer Ben Buera—who also is Catholic and very pro-life—says this. Photo by Filip Mroz on Unsplash Expanding the definition of “Pro-life” by new pro-life/whole-life movements reminds me of trying to expand the definition of marriage. I’ve heard it said that marriage should […]
Let’s be clear: The RHA is not a simple codification of Roe v. Wade, as advocates claim. Rather, the legislation has components that should be disturbing to pro-choice and pro-life individuals alike. Currently, the state’s penal code defines “justifiable abortion acts” as being performed with a woman’s consent by a licensed physician within 24 weeks of […]
[The effort to expand abortion to the point of birth, an effort that includes the RHA,] amounts to infanticide. It’s the murder of fully developed or up to that time of delivery, that assaults a tiny baby. If that child should manage to survive the assault, and the effort to kill him, the law allows […]
See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the […]
The story of Nazi Germany is really the story of the weakness of human beings, the fallen nature, of how easily—under the exigencies of the moment—we succumb to the worst kinds of evils. I know nobody likes drawing comparisons with the Nazis, and I understand why.…[Yet, y]ou look at the events of the thirties, and […]
When pro-life advocates claim that elective abortion unjustly takes the life of a defenseless human being, they are not saying they dislike abortion. They are saying it’s objectively wrong, regardless of how one feels about it. If moral truths do not exist as a foundation for law, then law itself becomes merely a system of […]
When the law is on your side, argue the law. When the facts are on your side, argue the facts. When neither the facts nor the law are on your side, make an ad hominem attack. —Old Adage— David Daleiden is the founder of the Center for Medical Progress [CMP], a 501(c)3 non-profit organization located in Irvine, […]
On Tuesday, September 22, 2015, Senate Democrats filibustered the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would have prohibited “abortion on unborn babies after five months post-fertilization, since there is incontrovertible scientific evidence that, at this age, babies can feel pain.”1 The bill was sponsored by Senator Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina. Sixty votes were needed to invoke cloture, […]
A toast to my big brother George: The richest man in town. —Harry Bailey in Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life1— The 1946 film It’s a Wonderful Life, directed by Frank Capra and starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, has to be one of the best loved and most watched films of all time. In […]
The sacrifices that are demanded of Americans today may be necessary, but they must never become customary. The purpose of our government is to keep us alive, yes, but also to keep us living and working, as is our right. Going forward, our best leaders will eschew political gamesmanship and work to control our borders, […]
I can’t believe that we are in the heart of New York City, but that’s exactly where God has placed us. —Edward Graham, Assistant to the Vice President, Programs and Government Relations, Samaritan’s Purse— Key points: The presence of the Samaritan’s Purse field hospital in Central Park in New York City is a testimony to God’s love […]
While our Scriptural belief in marriage between a man and a woman seems particularly offensive to [some officials and groups], we don’t believe this is the time or place to wage this debate. Samaritan’s Purse is a decidedly Christian private relief organization, funded almost entirely by individuals around the world who share our passion for […]
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.1 —Patrick Henry— Key point: A national crisis is an open door making it possible for leaders to abuse their power and emerge as tyrants, […]
