Violent persecution of Christians continues in Nigeria. At least 99 people were murdered in attacks on worshippers at a Christian church. The attackers also razed homes in the same town. From ABC News: Suspected Islamic extremists used explosives and heavy guns to attack a village and worshippers during a Christian church service in Nigeria’s northeast, killing at least 99 people and razing hundreds of homes, officials and witnesses said Monday. The attacks in Borno and Adamawa states resulted in one... Read more

West Coast Walk for Life: Archbishop Cordileone Asks Young People to Defend Life and Marriage

Last updated on: January 28, 2014 at 2:54 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Archbishop Cordileone called on young people at the West Coast March for Life to defend both the sanctity of human life and the sanctity of marriage. His message is especially powerful, coming as it does from an area of the country in which much of the population appears to be hostile to traditional values. I see Archbishop Cordileone’s statement as the first of what will grow into a movement in the future. Promoters of gay marriage often tell us that... Read more

Book Review: Elvis Presley Never Grew Up

To join the discussion about The Seeker King, or to order a copy, go here. Elvis Presley never grew up. He hit the big time when he was still a relatively unformed young man, and based on what I read in Gary Tillery’s biography, The Seeker King, remained emotionally at that age for the rest of his days. Sudden success on the scale that Elvis achieved can and often does become a prison for those who experience it. The constant... Read more

They’re Going to Die Anyway

Last updated on: January 28, 2014 at 10:51 am By Rebecca Hamilton

One doctor’s answer to the argument that the baby is going to die anyway. This doctor also explains how Obamacare violates the consciences of medical practitioners with its enforcement of abortion at any cost. As a side note, I know a number of people who have healthy children that they were told to abort because the baby supposedly had a terminal illness or grave disability and, when they refused the abortion (often they were under serious duress from their doctors...

Oklahoma Lawmaker Files Bill to Ban Marriage

You gotta admit. I do have an interesting job. One of my colleagues in the Oklahoma House of Representatives has filed a bill that would make marriage illegal in Oklahoma. He says this is a way to keep gay marriage out of the state and satisfy the Constitution. I’m not going to comment about this right now. I may have to vote on it. And I definitely will be hearing about it in more detail in the next few days. ... Read more

Cough. “Women’s Health” Looks a Lot Like the Old Double Standard.

Oklahoma is having a bit of a kerfluffle over the morning after pill. On one side, we have a law that passed last session, simply requiring a prescription for the morning after pill for minors. On the other side, we have the self-appointed, self-annointed arbiters of a narrow and monstrously patriarchal ideology of feminism that says that women’s human rights center entirely around the pelvic region. The whole purpose of “women’s health” and “women’s rights” as they are pushed by... Read more

Message to New Yorkers: If the Governor Kicks You Out, You’re Welcome in Oklahoma

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, in a now-famous rant, put out the Not Welcome mat in front of Empire State pro lifers. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is at odds with the governor over much else, followed up by announcing that he stands with Cuomo “100%” when it comes to this. It’s not often that Bishops of the Catholic Church feel called to chastise a politician’s statements publicly. In my experience, they tend to bend over backwards to assume the... Read more

You know those magazine articles and internet blogs detailing the best places in America to retire? You can take New Mexico off the list. Judge Nan Nash, a family court judge from the New Mexico second judicial district, has decided it’s time to let New Mexico doctors legally kill their patients. Anyone with half a brain knows that, despite the judge’s contentions, that means primarily and mostly our old people. You can read her findings here. If you... Read more
