Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe), RIP

The Battle for Life, and for Children

Jan 31, 2017

We are living in what seems like unprecedented times, with little or no respect for human life, human dignity, and the well-being of our children. Everywhere adult desires and wants are trumping the rights of the child, the right to

Christians and the Culture Wars: Time To Engage

Jan 4, 2017

Given that my website contains 2,233 articles on Christianity and 1,457 articles on the culture wars, it may be thought there is little left to say on these topics – at least from me. Well, there is always a new

How Not To Think about IVF and Abortion

Dec 12, 2016

Advances in Assisted Reproductive Technologies have allowed us to create human embryos, but our moral abilities have not sufficiently advanced for us to recognise that killing such new life is wrong. We should have learned our lessons from history, with

A Review of The Global Sexual Revolution. By Gabriele Kuby.

Sep 15, 2016

LifeSite, 2015.

When Ordinary People Become Extraordinary Warriors

Aug 4, 2016

An “Evolving” Trump?

May 13, 2016

It is getting downright scary how otherwise sensible and sober conservatives are jumping on board the Trump bandwagon because of just one issue or just one thing he recently said or did. Despite the overwhelming mountain of evidence of how

Purists, Politics, Presidents, Pharisees – And Dead Babies

Apr 3, 2016

OK, so a bit of alliteration has left you dazed and confused as to what is going on here. But there actually is a reason for all this. It is election time, and whenever that occurs, we get purists and

Dismantling the Trump Myths, Part One

Mar 31, 2016

The cult of Trump has dished up more nonsense, falsehoods and flip-flops than I have seen from any recent presidential candidate. Despite the fact that Trump is a life-long progressive, and one who has supported and financed leftist and Democrat

Antonin Scalia, RIP

Feb 14, 2016
