Birth control is not the solution

| March 27, 2011

An excellent commentary from Kathryn Lopez appeared a couple of weeks ago, but it didn’t make it through the newsfeed until now. Very much worth pondering: Congress, for its part, held an unprecedented vote in the House in February to end funding of Planned Parenthood. It’s not a permanent or final vote; it was attached [...]

Sanger was racist, elitist and deadly effective

| February 25, 2011

Are we really Pro-Life?

| February 1, 2011

An excellent, thought-provoking piece from Valerie at In Faith and Purity: Let’s be clear and make no confusion about my heart on this.

ella’s Ironic Debut

| September 5, 2010

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.]

Delayed marriage and the lengthening path to adulthood

| June 16, 2010

A thought-provoking piece from the folks at Mercatornet: It’s not exactly news, but a report from Princeton University and the Brookings Institution highlights the well-established trend of “delayed adulthood” as people in their twenties prolong their education and fail to reach the milestones of marriage and parenthood. Actually, this could be more a delay in [...]

We Made It!

| June 15, 2010

Our homeschool experience began in 1989 with a cute, wiggly five year old kindergartner.  In the late eighties homeschooling was unusual.  In 1992, I became a single mother and continued to homeschool.  While homeschooling was uncommon at that time, doing it solo was unheard of.   There were those who meant well by telling me to [...]

Girl Scouts hand-in-glove with Planned Parenthood

| April 6, 2010

I hate posting several negative stories in a row, but these aren’t just ugly headlines–they affect our daughters and granddaughters and poison all of society as they reach more and more girls at a vulnerable age. From the Washington Times: The present day Girl Scouts are not your older sister’s Scouts, let alone your Mom’s. [...]
