The Founding Fathers’ Ideals of Christianity and Personhood

HB350 Passes! Safe Haven Baby Boxes Welcomed Into Georgia
Late one night last December, a frightened young mother made a courageous choice. Overwhelmed and alone, she walked toward a Safe Haven baby device — a place she hoped would protect the tiny life she could no longer care for. With trembling hands, she opened the door, placed her newborn inside, and whispered a prayer before slipping away into the cold darkness.
A Womb to Rent
As personhood advocates, shouldn’t we rejoice that more precious children have been born into the world? After all, every child is a gift from God. While this popular practice allows couples to fulfill their own desires for children, surrogacy must nonetheless be examined in light of its effects on the children born via surrogacy as well as on the surrogates themselves.
The Dangerous Fiction of a Constitutional “Right to Privacy”

Abortion Recovery: Finding Hope in Christ
April is Abortion Recovery Awareness month. It is the time of year when I am reminded of the hard truths about abortion and the aftermath that comes from this evil act.
Most men and women are often not prepared for what comes in the months and years after they make the choice to abort their baby. Post Abortion Syndrome is real. Symptoms may include suicidal thoughts, depression, guilt, shame, regret, drug and/or alcohol abuse, promiscuity, and much more.

Rape and Incest… Is Abortion Ever Okay?
The most common exception to pro-life laws is the rape and incest exception. This exception is said to protect women from being forced to “carry their rapist’s baby” by allowing them to kill the baby should they become pregnant as a result of sexual assault.

Is AI a Threat to Personhood?
