The Church's teaching on sexuality that lies behind its teaching that contraception is intrinsically immoral is dazzlingly beautiful.
Many people whose understanding has been clouded by the corruption of our culture have difficulty understanding it.
09/ 04/08Planned Parenthood, the billion dollar corporate abortion mill, has taken indecency to a whole new level and is using your taxpayer dollars to do so.
09/ 03/08The risk John McCain took last Friday is comparable to the 72-year-old ex-fighter pilot knocking back two shots and flying his A-4 under the Golden Gate Bridge.
McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his co-pilot was the biggest gamble in presidential history. As of now, it is paying off, big-time.

08/ 26/08Monday was the first day that Planned Parenthood, which operates the only abortion business in South Dakota, had to comply with a new state law telling women the truth about abortion. Rather than tell women abortion kills children and has numerous risks, Planned Parenthood closed its doors.
07/ 22/08Last year, Planned Parenthood performed more than 250,000 abortions, which account for about 1 in 5 of our country's total. Of all abortions, those performed for black women accounted for about a third of the procedures. It's also worth noting that a majority of Planned Parenthood's clinics are in minority neighborhoods.

07/ 15/08Democratic and Republican candidates must reject donations from Planned Parenthood this election year, and Congress should end all federal funding for the abortion provider, according to black pro-life leaders who held two press conferences last week in Washington, D.C., at Democratic and Republican Party Committee headquarters.
07/ 03/08For the last few decades, evangelicals repeatedly have mobilized and demonstrated to oppose the operation of abortion clinics.

I live in Kansas, which is reputed to be a more conservative and Christian state than many, and so I have always found it curious — and stomach-turning — that George Tiller, a late-term abortion profiteer, can have such a lucrative practice in Wichita. Even when the state’s legislature and governor’s office were held by professing Christian Republicans, and the same could be said of the Wichita mayor’s office, Tiller expanded his practice with ease. Not only did prominent officials not speak out against Tiller, they failed to enforce already lenient abortion laws, as an investigation by a former Kansas Attorney General, Phill Kline, has begun to make clear.
An excellent article in National Review reveals the trouble Kline got for his efforts. He’s currently the target of lawsuits that have cost him $200,000 to date, and is facing a string of creative maneuvers by Kansas officials who wish he would just go away for good.
George Tiller, meanwhile, has been feted by Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, a fact unveiled not by the state’s newspapers, but by Operation Rescue, in a series of pictures that must be embarrassing to Barack Obama’s potential vice-presidential candidate.
This topsy-turvy spectacle is something we might expect from Lewis Carroll, or perhaps more aptly, Franz Kafka. The man who has revealed evidence of illegalities finds himself on trial, while the man who specializes in executing healthy infants is a guest of honor.
And the worst part is that most of us stand idly by. I used to walk in front of Tiller’s killing grounds, and on some days you could see ash drifting up from a pipe in the roof of his compound, because he incinerates the corpses on site. It caught in the wind to be carried where it may, onto your doorstep, perhaps, or my windows. When I think about that ash covering the city of Wichita, it becomes real for me, how the very rocks cry out, calling for redemption of an earth that has swallowed too much of man’s blood.
“For my father and my mother have forsaken me,” goes the Psalm, “but the Lord will take me up.” How many has He taken up, just in the city of Wichita alone? How many in your city? In this country?
The rocks are crying out, because man’s eyes have gone dry. I have a good friend in this fight, and recently I asked him what the rest of us can do. “Pray,” he said. “And make noise spreading the word. Lots of noise.”
