  • BBC: Russia 'may ban gay emojis' under 'propaganda' law

  • Archbishop Cranmer: After-birth abortion? Planned Parenthood and the art of infanticide
    July 31st, 2015

    Not only has Planned Parenthood perfected the art of aborting babies in a “less crunch way” in order that the harvest of body parts may be plentiful, but it transpires that they also routinely carry out something called ‘after-birth abortion’. The term is really quite disquieting, for what is an after-birth abortion if it is not the immediate post-natal termination of life? And if it is the immediate post-natal termination of life, it must mean the purposeful killing of a living, breathing baby. In what sense is after-birth abortion not murder?

  • BBC: 'Abortion pill' legalised in Canada
    July 30th, 2015

  • Conjugality: In ten to thirty years, the survivors will speak out
    July 30th, 2015
    The New York Times reported this week  that the American Boy Scouts are ending a nationwide ban on gay leaders. According to the Times, the organization was seeking to resolve an issue that threatened to tear apart the organization and expose it to crippling lawsuits. Discrimination based on sexual orientation will also be barred in all Boy Scout offices and for all paid jobs. The step, the paper says, is aimed at heading off lawsuits in New York, Colorado and other states that prohibit such discrimination in employment.
     
    It's a pity, however, that the Times missed a shocking story which emerged at the same time as jubilation over the new policy. If they had the stomach for it, it might make readers think twice about the wisdom of allowing the Boy Scouts to have gay leaders.
