By Judie Brown A recent editorial in The Hill contains the following about the personhood of the preborn baby: “Personhood advocates are the hard-core, no-compromises wing of the anti-abortion movement, insisting that fertilized eggs deserve full legal and constitutional rights from the moment of conception. A defining trait is their opposition to any exceptions for rape or incest in laws… Read More »When Wise Guys Opine

By Dwain Currier It is no dirty secret that factions exist within the pro-life movement. Some organizations believe that regulating the killing of preborn children is a viable strategy to end abortion for good.

By Susan Ciancio I recently met some cradle Catholics who had a very limited knowledge of our faith. Don’t get me wrong; they love the Church, and they love being a part of it.
