Better never born than newborn

Nothing makes me sadder than knowing there are children who are not loved and cared for well by their parents. My heart hurts even now as I think about them flinching at verbal… Continue reading

These arguments are pitiful

If it’s all about choice, you might want to know what you’re choosing

One of the most maddening things to me in this cultural conflict that is the abortion debate is the stubborn and willful ignorance of the opposition. So many of them intentionally ignore the… Continue reading
