The Indefensible Decisions Of ‘Roe’ And ‘Doe’

January 2013 marked the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.  Many refer to Roe v. Wade as the hallmark of abortion law. To be completely accurate, however, it was two landmark cases decided simultaneously that rule abortion law in the United States today. Roe v. Wade reached the Supreme Court on appeal in 1970. The Court delayed action on Roe and a companion case, Doe v. Bolton for a later time.  On January 22, 1973 two Supreme Court decisions, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, struck down any and...

The Decline Of The Human Family

For decades, Americans have been warned of an impending population explosion that would perhaps threaten our very existence.  The Population Bomb, published in 1968, by Professor Paul R. Ehrlich, warned of approaching mass starvation due to overpopulation. Our children have long been taught that a growing population is bad for the environment and society; that our planet cannot sustain future population growth. The media further propagates the teaching. Ironically, experts today find that we...

Say It Isn’t So: Infanticide

If anyone ever needed evidence for the slippery slope oozing from legalized abortion and the degradation of the value of human life…sadly, it’s here! Two philosophy and ethics researchers recently reported that in “circumstances occur[ing] after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible”. Simply put, if abortion is legal then termination of the newborn should be as well.  The legalization of abortion in 1973 may ultimately be...

‘Planned’ Eugenics

This fall, Planned Parenthood gleefully announced yet another anniversary.  Ninety-seven years old and counting, Planned Parenthood began as the American Birth Control League, the brainchild of extreme leftist and known eugenicist, Margaret Sanger. Sanger's lifelong ambition was to reduce the world's population, particularly the poor and "unfit," through birth control: a plan she said would be the "salvation of American civilization”.   Other infamous remarks attributed to Margaret Sanger:...

It’s A Dog’s World!

If you’re like me, those animal cruelty commercials really pull at my heart strings.  How can someone abuse a helpless animal in such heinous ways? Nowhere do I find the same attention shown to ending abortion or promoting adoption. Sadly it appears that we have become a society that places more value on animals’ lives than it does human lives.  For if that is not true, how can we allow the ultimate abuse of some 3,000 preborn children per day being torn limb from limb (over 3,000 per day,...

You Are Not Called To Adopt

You are sure of it. You know families built through foster care and adoption. You may admire them, however, it just isn’t for you. Please exhale, my friend. It’s okay. You may be right. Adoption is beautiful, redemptive, traumatic and hard. It is always birthed in brokenness. Many strong marriages don’t make it through, and there are lasting side effects. That is the bad news. The fantastic news is that when a fire is burning, there is light. When we are broken, we realize our deep need for...
