The very fact that the term bestiality is being replaced by "zoophilia" is evidence that the act is becoming normalized as the (new) latter term attempts to overcome the (justifiably) negative connotations of the former. Yet even before bestiality becomes officially okay, one European country is taking the leap to animal prostitution. J. Christian Adams at PJ Media notes: If you ever wondered [...]
Timothy Cardinal Dolan of New York, writes in the New York Post about Thanksgiving in which he mentions how he and others he was with during a trip to the Netherlands on New Year's Eve. Everything closes that evening, so he was left without a restaurant to eat at. The hotel owner had Dolan's party join his family for a meal, conversation and prayers. Cardinal Dolan [...]
LifeSiteNews.com reports: The UNFPA’s 2012 annual report, which declared birth control a “human right,” was released this week. It states that UN general comments are “the authoritative interpretation of the standards” that “help translate the right to family planning at the abstract…level into policies and programs.” Not only is birth control -- many of which are abortifacient -- declared a human right, but the United [...]
There is a unique argument by William J. Haun at First Things on why those who believe in limited government should oppose expanding the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it is not. Haun says that, "The new basis of marriage, same-sex marriage advocates tell us, is not procreation or sexual difference, but love. For them, the personal promises [...]
Tim Carney begins his Washington Examiner column: As an old saw has it, "your right to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose." The Obama administration says your right to live as a Christian ends if you go into business. Christian institutions will be required to provide employees insurance that includes coverage for abortifacient contraception even if it violates [...]
In October, we ran a feature story on the Democrats fully embracing its Party of Death status, running on an extreme pro-abortion position. As Rory Leishman noted in his column, for pro-life and pro-family voters in the United States, the choice between the candidates (Mitt Romney and Barack Obama) is clear. I also have a review of several books that show Obama [...]
It is pretty standard for pro-life candidates to be asked about the rape and incest exception and for pro-life candidates to be asked about how they would handle a child having an abortion. But candidates who support abortion are never asked difficult questions probing the limits of their position. Trevin Wax at the Gospel Coalition has a list of "10 questions a pro-choice [...]
LifeSiteNews.com's Ben Johnson said three life and family issues were ignored in the foreign policy debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Johnson's list: Taxpayer funding of abortion around the world; China’s One-Child Policy; Normalizing homosexuality as an anchor of foreign policy Not that anyone would expect moderator Bob Schieffer to ask about any of these issues. Exploring any of these three [...]
One more time: contra the claims of Democrats, including President Barack Obama, and the abortion industry, Planned Parenthood does not do mammograms. Yet Obama trotted out that phony claim again during last night's presidential debate. Charmaine Yoest of Americans United for Life didn't like Obama's emotionally powerful but highly misleading appeal to mammogram provision: However, one of the most bald-faced falsehoods the president [...]
Because they tell us a lot about her critics. A great column by the Toronto Sun's Lorrie Goldstein which begins: The ferocity of the attack on Status of Women Minister Rona Ambrose for voting in favour of a Conservative MP’s motion to study the question of when human life legally begins is not only absurd, it says a lot about the attackers. [...]
The Globe and Mail reports on the introduction of a bill on sex-selective abortions: A second abortion-related motion proposed by a backbench Conservative MP could trigger a new debate about the parameters of a woman’s right to choose in Canada. Andrea Mrozek responds: The debate is here. It has not been triggered anew, it is simply here. For many of us, it’s [...]

LifeSiteNews.com has coverage of the debate on M-312 yesterday that took place over an hour on a Friday afternoon to a packed gallery (so much for no one caring about this issue). It is remarkable that some politicians are afraid of having Parliament examine modern scientific evidence about life before birth to see whether the 400-year-old legal definition of human being in [...]
The pro-abortion Radical Handmaids have invited people to join them for a M-312 Debate Viewing Party which includes a drinking game for watching the parliamentary debate. Note that the party is at the Canadian Union of Postal Workers boardroom at their offices in downtown Ottawa. M-312 is not "anti-choice" as the Radical Handmaids contend. M-312 does not mention abortion. It does not mention [...]
The Daily Telegraph reports that the United Kingdom's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority will hold consultations with an eye to permitting fertility treatment with the DNA of a third parent in order to (get this) "spare all future generations from a host of rare and debilitating conditions." I bet this is over-promising the benefits. And of course, there is no downside. And [...]
