“You must stand ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Luke 12:40).

The three are Marcian Cotter, Sam Dieleman (a boy of 11) and myself. At 12:15 on [...]
(From an article by Eleanor Nelson, M.M. Report, Feb. 1984) Kevin said his first word at seven months. He is now crawling and he sits up by himself.

Pro-lifers are by now well aware of media bias in reporting abortion-related stories, but two Ottawa radio stations have carried this bias a step further.
