TULSA, OK, November 27, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An Oklahoma judge today sided with the state’s Supreme Court and dismissed a lawsuit that sought a “divorce” between two women Tuesday.  The two women had been originally “married” in Canada, where same-sex “marriage” is legal.

Since I rarely read the Louisville Courier Journal the story may have been […]

By Kathleen Gilbert November 25, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A heart-rending tale of a reluctant young father discovering the joy of sacrificial love, Kenny Chesney’s hit country song “There Goes My Life” has stunned audiences with its message of the sanctity of human life since its 2003 debut. The song even appears to have saved the life of at least one unborn child, according to a comment posted under the music video on Youtube, and has possibly played a part in saving others. The lyrics, written by Neil Thrasher and Wendell Mobley, capture perfectly the quandary of a young man whose […]

By Kathleen Gilbert CHICAGO, November 26, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Attorneys with the Thomas More Society have petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to reinstate a previous district court ruling allowing the distribution of pro-life license plates, stating that otherwise they would appeal to the US Supreme Court.  About two weeks ago, the three-Judge panel of the Appeals Court denied the “Choose Life” license plates protection under the First Amendment, stating that the “very contentious and divisive” content on license plates proposed by Choose Life Illinois (CLI) was too controversial.  The plates, designed to benefit adoption services, […]
