Follow up on Human Rights: Starting Point

Recently, I posted about Sen. Barack Obama’s answer, or non answer as it were, to Rick Warren’s question on when human rights begin, whether at conception or later? James Kushiner, at Mere Comments, the blog of Touchstone magazine, recently wrote about the state of children in Britain. What he reports is discouraging, especially since those [...]

The Anne Rice Chronicles

Her books have sold over a hundred million copies, making her one of the most widely read authors in the modern era.  Until recently, Anne Rice’s name was synonymous with “popular vampire fiction.”  Her gorey gothic romances have been adapted into Hollywood films and television productions.

Babies By Design

For those of us who believe in the sanctity of life, the Roe v. Wade decision of January 22, 1973 was a dark day in America. One court decision sealed the fate of millions of unborn children. Pregnant women who did not desire to be mothers could “take charge and be in control of their [...]

Pro-Life in the Real World

Apparently babies aren’t eco-friendly. They consume too much, create too much waste, and take up too much space. They’re costly and inefficient and unproductive. And if that wasn’t enough, they cause overpopulation.
To Lutheran ears, those notions sound ridiculous. But to a society intent on going green, babies are nothing more than an environmental hazard. [...]
