Overcoming the Fantasy of Abortion
27 Sep 2021
My house is chock-full of books—both my husband and I are bibliophiles, and our favorite joint adventure is a book sale. Before having our first child, I indiscriminately crammed children’s books into bags at local libraries’ semi-annual purgings. Now that we have three children, I’m thankful to be pulling new-to-me books off our shelves to […]

Readers should listen to (or read) yesterday’s The Daily Briefing by Al Mohler first, which chronicles Joe Biden’s twisting in the wind on the position of Abortion before engaging in my post.

27 Aug 2020
It’s easy to get into the almost clinical dissection of various policies and which political party has better values. Partisans of both political parties have attacks on the morality of the other side, as this week’s Republican convention does what the Democrats did earlier. Yet some data help clarify moral questions. For me it’s the […]

26 Feb 2019
The Senate voted on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act yesterday, Monday, February 25. The Act, sponsored by Sen. Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) failed to receive the required 60 votes needed to overcome a legislative filibuster. Other than democratic senators from Alabama, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, the vote followed a strict party line with a […]
