The Church Was Right on Birth Control
Posted by DariaSockey in News on Wednesday, February 08, 2012
It’s been a good week to be a believing Catholic in the United States. Tumultuous, but good. It’s a cause of legitimate pride to see our Bishops taking a bold stand against the HHS contraception sterilization mandate. It’s been gratifying to see so many non-Catholics joining us in protest. Whatever they think of the Church’s teaching on contraception—and we can assume most of them disagree with it—they... READ MORE
Voting Pro-Life
Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Friday, October 14, 2011
Today I went to the grocery store to buy some comfort food for a rainy afternoon (Cheez-its and Reese’s pieces if anyone was wondering).
Happy with my purchase I walked out the door and was greeted by young professionals who asked if I was a resident of the town. When I said yes, I was introduced to the local politician who was running for Town Council.
Now let me first say that I am not into politics,... READ MORE
No Easy Surrenders!
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Tuesday, August 30, 2011
Last week’s post on the threat to the First Amendment right to free exercise of religion posed by Health and Human Services rules slated to take effect next summer garnered some attention on facebook and google+.
I posted to spread the word, and to point out some unintended consequences of the effort to force pro-lifers to assent to abortion, so was pleased in that regard.
But jeepers, the comments... READ MORE
Conservatives Can Be Hotties Too?
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Friday, June 10, 2011
I am not a prude.
I realize that nothing screams “I am a prude!” more loudly than beginning a blog post with that sentence, but I truly am not the kind of person who usually gets herself twisted in knots over “inappropriate” and “offensive” things she sees online. It’s a big world, I’m a big girl, and I can accept that some people’s standards differ from my own.
So when I happened upon The 20 Hottest Conservative Women in The New Media,... READ MORE

New Game in Town
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Faith on Thursday, January 06, 2011
The words “hope” and “pro-life” go together. By nature, being a pro-lifer means we see the beauty and uniqueness of every individual. We see the designed-by-God perfection in each human being. And if that isn’t embracing hope, I don’t know what is.
But sometimes it is discouraging to look around and see a nation weighed down too often by anti-life sentiment and legislation. It doesn’t fit with our... READ MORE
Tweeting for Life
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Monday, November 08, 2010
Last week’s Twitter trend of tweeting “I had an abortion” started people talking about life issues on Twitter.
I wrote a column for the Washington Post that challenged the wisdom of women cheerfully tweeting about their abortions and shutting those who regret their abortions out of the conversation.
Then I was officially “in it” on Twitter.
I had some thoughtful conversations with people who disagree with me, but I was also treated to enough angry vitriol that I decided we could better serve the pro-life cause with positive action. So I asked pro-lifers on Twitter to use an #IAmProLife hashtag and tell us why. I will be re-tweeting people’s responses at my Twitter account all day today.
If you are on Twitter, please join us in making a positive statement in defense of the unborn. And encourage your followers to do the same. Let your pro-life voice be heard!
Election Day
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Tuesday, November 02, 2010
Win or lose, I love election day!
I come by the love of politics honestly: my grandfather wrote a political column for the LA Times, my dad’s a life-long journalist, and I was a pro-life lobbyist for a number of years in my early “career” (such as it is).
More than that, I enjoy the limited opportunities we have to mingle together as citizens.
Even during the last presidential cycle, knowing that... READ MORE
Win 'The Death Panels'
Posted by Sarah Reinhard in Reviews on Monday, October 18, 2010
I’m a big fan of Michelle Buckman‘s, and I’m tickled to share one of her two new novels, The Death Panels, with everyone here.
Brace yourself before you pick this book up. It’s not light reading, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to already recommending it to everyone I know.
Death Panels builds a world that my children could live in, a world that’s not so far from possible. It takes the most dangerous... READ MORE
