In addition to setting up the new website, the settlement requires eHarmony to advertise […]

Abortion makes lonely toys cry on Christmas billboard

An AdWeek blogger is one of those who doesn’t like a new pro-life billboard now on display in Toronto, Canada: Toronto’s Niagara Region Right to Life organization blames abortion for the “coarsening of politics and civic life,” but they’re the ones guilt-tripping people with sad-toy-themed billboards a week before Christmas. If this is the only alternative to all the inappropriately sexual Christmas ads I’ve been seeing, then bring on the smut. Niagara Region Right to Life’s Suresh Dominic told me this morning the organization gets calls from both sides, supporters and opponents, when it erects its controversial crying toy billboard […]

I recommend the TV show Terra Nova

Hey, not that you should watch TV over the holidays, but since you might, here’s a suggestion. Given the scarcity of good programming on TV these days it’s nice to find a show that is at the same time well produced, captivating and doesn’t majorly offend moral sensibilities.  It’s also a bonus if in some small way the show has some point that jives nicely with traditional morality. There is such a show, at least in the first season of episodes.  That show is Spielberg’s Terra Nova.  Of interest to pro-lifers, the show’s premiere episode revolves around a family who […]

Obama Makes History: Thanksgiving Proclamation First Ever to Omit Direct Mention of God

Obama Makes History: Thanksgiving Proclamation First Ever to Omit Direct Mention of God by LifeSiteNews.com By Kathleen Gilbert WASHINGTON, D.C., November 27, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – President Obama’s brief proclamation of Thanksgiving Day on November 26 was unique among all recorded Thanksgiving proclamations by his predecessors: it is the first one that fails to directly acknowledge the existence of God. The beneficence shown by God to America is a theme that traditionally defines the Thanksgiving holiday, and this theme is strongly emphasized in the original Thanksgiving Day proclamations and consistently acknowledged even by modern presidents. Obama’s unprecedented proclamation, however, only makes […]

Advent reconciles mother and preborn child

We focus, in other words, on the first and second comings of the same Christ, and on the one who teaches us how to prepare for His arrival, namely, by repentance. “Reform your lives! The reign of God is at hand.” The New Testament readings throughout Advent complement […]

Sebelius’ sensible decision

The recent overruling of the FDA decision to sell Plan B over the counter (OTC) to children as young as eleven years of age has engendered no small amount of outrage by proponents of the FDA plan, and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has come in for severe criticism from women’s health and advocacy groups. Setting aside for a moment the undercurrent of abortion and the distrust between warring parties over the issue, this decision by Secretary Sebelius is a victory for the very children the FDA purports to serve and protect. According to FDA labeling on Plan B: “Ectopic pregnancies […]
