Post Author: Bill Pratt Almost one year ago, I wrote a short blog post asking our readers to sign a document called the Manhattan Declaration. Why am I back again asking you to sign? Because we need more of you to participate. So far, the declaration has gathered 476,000 signatures – impressive, but not enough. [...]

Post Author: Bill Pratt Incredibly, this was the sage advice of a writer who showered us with his wisdom in the letters to the editor section in our local newspaper.

Before I say just a few words about our response, I wanted to give you [...]

You will not believe how well this seventh grader defends the pro-life position. Her speech is truly amazing. For those of you who are pro-life and have trouble articulating your position, you could learn a lot from this child.

Please read this blog post by Brett Kunkle. He is one of the clearest thinkers on the abortion issue you will ever read. He boils the issue down to one question about the fetus: what is it? If the fetus is a human being, you cannot kill it. If it is not a human being, then a [...]

Check out this short TV commercial (thanks to my friend John for tipping me off) ready to be aired by CatholicVote.com. Those who argue that we should consider aborting children who might be born into “bad” homes might want to think again (and yes, many in the pro-choice community make this argument). Of course, numerous other examples [...]
