Perhaps they have been ashamed, scared, embarrassed or too paralyzed to take action. Or maybe they simply didn't know what to do.

Beware of ‘comfort care’

Infanticide is the new abortion. I’m not saying infanticide will be the new abortion, but that it is. Wherever abortionists kill late-term babies—across the fruited plain—inconvenient live births occur. And inconvenient live births are taken care of. If your patient is shelling out a thousand bucks to end the life of her baby, you are…

Judge Orders Fourteen-Year-Old Child Ground Into Hamburger

OK, not literally, but I can’t read this story and not think of the dark and morose song and video by Pink Floyd, “We Don’t Need No Education.” In the video, children are being marched through a factory line until they fall into a meat grinder. Meanwhile the chorus goes: “We don’t need no education We don’t…

A Letter to Fatherless America

Dear America, Your numbers of fatherless are numbing. So staggering are they both pachyderm and pack animal should blow and bellow. But they don’t because in their constant tug-of-war for dominance over a declining culture the dust they kick up obscures the truth that you are saying because fatherhood is dying. For all time it…
