Pastor Warren, Like Peter, Denies Christ (at least His teachings) During Holy Week

Pastor Warren, Like Peter, Denies Christ (at least His teachings) During Holy Week by LifeSiteNews.com Editorial by John-Henry Westen April 9, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Rick Warren, the popular pastor who seems to have taken on the mantle of ‘America’s Pastor’ from Billy Graham, was a strong defender of the family, and of marriage – until recently. One of the areas of greatest conflict between Christian morality and worldly morality today is homosexuality. With the advent of modern ultra-sound technology and thus the increasing awareness of the humanity of the unborn child, many today will forgive you for being pro-life. After […]

Contraception programs and teen pregnancy rates

This week Slate featured a piece by Amanda Marcotte discussing why New York has lower teen-birth rates than Mississippi. Not surprisingly, Marcotte blames abstinence-only sex education programs in Mississippi and praises New York’s contraceptive-friendly policies. She favorably mentions a pilot program recently started in New York public schools which allows students to obtain contraception — including emergency contraception — directly from the school. Of course, as New York Times columnist Ross Douthat pointed out, Marcotte forgot something. A major reason why New York has a lower teen birthrate is because New York teens are far more likely to abort unwanted […]

The abortion issue receives a considerable amount of media coverage. However, media outlets do a consistently poor job explaining the implications of overturning Roe v. Wade. Some outlets hint that when Roe is overturned, abortion would be banned everywhere. Others correctly report that a reversal of Roe would return abortion policy to the states — but use faulty analyses by abortion-rights groups to argue that abortion would quickly be banned in a high percentage of states. Sadly, even some academics have gotten into the act. A recent NBER study that analyzed how the reversal of Roe would impact the abortion […]

Scientists: harmful hormones from birth control pill can’t be filtered out in sewage treatment

ABERDEEN, Scotland, September 10, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Scientists at the University of Aberdeen studying sheep maintained on pastures fertilized with sewage sludge (treated waste derived from human sewage processing plants) found a high incidence of abnormalities in the animals.  The abnormalities are being attributed to the presence of man-made hormones, particularly as those found in the contraceptive pill, in the treated waste. Professor Paul Fowler and Dr Stewart Rhind said exposure to the chemicals affected the structure or function of testes, ovaries, uteri, parts of the brain, and thyroid and adrenal glands of sheep foetuses.

Compassion & Choices, a rebranding of the former Hemlock Society, aggressively lobbies to legalize euthanasia as a “human right” by means of legislation and the judicial system.

When many of the spiritual guides are so mad it is more diabolical than a joke

There is something very, very wrong within the US Catholic Church and in much of the other developed nations when nuns can speak in support of the Democrats at their convention and elsewhere and give the bizarre answers that Sr. Simone Campbell did as reported in Kathleen Gilbert’s report today. Over 40 years of little discipline, little accountability, rejection of the use of canon law and very poor and distorted teaching on all the moral issues, has produced this insanity from far too many Catholic religious, clergy, teachers and others within the institutional church. It could be considered a joke. […]

Not even one peer-reviewed study shows Medicaid funding reduces incidence of abortion

In recent election cycles, Democrats have made a series of ham-handed attempts to convince voters that they would actually do a better job lowering abortion rates than Republicans have. In 2004, Sojourners ran an article by Glen Harold Stassen which used data from a sample of states to claim the abortion rate went up under President Bush. However, comprehensive data later released by the CDC revealed the abortion rate actually fell during President Bush’s first term in office. In 2008, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG) released a study which purportedly found that welfare spending was effective at […]
