To the feminists it is all about power. They will allow no exceptions to their principle of absolute power over life in the womb. In all their literature, in all their rhetoric and slogans we witness this. But they go further. When a pregnant woman immediately before an abortion is ambivalent about exercising such morbid power, the abortion-providing, radical feminists are there [...]

For over 20 years, the United Nations, along with its allies, have been forcing methods of population control on the so-called “developing nations” and, for the same two decades and more, the peoples of Africa have tried to resist, claiming that Africa’s problem is not one of ‘over’-population, but ‘under’-population.

I spent three weeks in Ireland in August and September. When people ask me “How was your trip? I have to give a double answer.
