Unwanted babies
[blogan: The following is a guest post by Marilyn Burge. Although she and I come from very different backgrounds and have vastly divergent views on religion and politics, she is a good friend and we enjoy debating the issues.

Where are the “culture of life” people on Darfur?

The Right to Die
I was discussing the Terri Schiavo case with my daughter on the way to look at yet another bird and buy a binder and some note cards. I was able to rearrange, revise, and refine what I just wrote in a comment to make a more coherent argument as to what I think about the [...]
