On Friday the 13th of this year, the FDA approved a new abortion drug to be marketed under the name “ella.” Now there may be protests at my labeling it an abortion drug, but I do so deliberately and with solid evidence. [Not for young readers.]

The call of the water is the stuff of legend and romance. From Jimmy Buffet to the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner to the book of Job, it haunts our poetry, our myths and our imaginations. When we stand at the place where the waters meet the dry land, our gaze is ever out to [...]

It’s funny how we have to go to the UK to read the truth about the abortion breast cancer link. You won’t find this information in the NY Times. Read the article over here.

From Carolyn Moynihan at Mercatornet: Nearly one in five American women ends her childbearing years without having borne a child, compared with one in ten in the 1970s, the Pew Research Centre reports. Practically the only group of women less likely to be childless now compared with about two decades ago are those with advanced [...]

McCrystal’s book comes on the heels of Nancy Gibb’s recent [...]

Marketplace recently ran a week-long series on China’s one-child policy, covering its history, the life of only children, parental expectations, exceptions to the rule, and the future economic repercussions of the policy. This is well worth listening to (and it’s a good idea to read the accompanying interviews and articles as well). In short, the [...]

Our good friend Doug Phillips over at Vision Forum just posted this commentary (the blockquote at the top is what he’s responding to): There are some disabled infants born with conditions so severe that doctors don’t really try to keep them alive. They allow them to die essentially through benign neglect. But that can be [...]

This morning, I woke up to find the following comment on my Facebook wall. A pastor’s wife was writing in response to a video I posted yesterday describing how “the pill” is an abortifacient. If her comment hadn’t been so troubling it would have been hysterically funny. She apparently doesn’t know the hundreds of large, homeschooling families I know. What do you think?

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the abortion rate in your country? Do you wonder what anyone can do? Feeling overwhelmed can be paralyzing. There is so much to do, and most of it seems impossible, so we do nothing at all. Here are some suggestions for things I believe most of us could do.

More clear thinking from the folks at Mercatornet: The “comprehensive” sex education crowd in the United States are fond of saying that abstinence-only education has been responsible for the stalling of a downward trend in teenage pregnancies and childbearing that started about 1995. A new government report, however, suggests another reason. The other reason is [...]

Way back in 1977 (which, in our pop-culture world, is practically ancient history), George Gilder wrote the following prescient words: Crucial to the liberals’ dream of escape from family burdens is zero population growth. Because each individual no longer depends on his children to support him in old age, many observers seem to imagine that [...]

Have to admit I did a double-take when I saw a quote from this article and realized who wrote it (thanks, Candice, for the URL!): One significant, and enduring, effect of The Pill on female sexual attitudes during the 60′s, was: “Now we can have sex anytime we want, without the consequences. Hallelujah, let’s party!” [...]

Every now and again, feminist thinking and the goals of feminism are demonstrated in the clearest terms and without varnish. An article in yesterday’s Washington Post about the 50th anniversary of the Pill is a perfect case in point: Forget the single girl and the sexual revolution. The pill was not anti-mother; it was for [...]

Psalm 127:3-5: Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak [...]
