Reading this passage today and pondering: What is the opposite of strength and power in numbers? Eventually, Joseph, all his brothers, and that entire generation died. But the descendants of Israel were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them. Then a new king, who did not […]

I love it. Live Action has received an email from a girl named Lauren who described paranoia at a California Planned Parenthood she visited this week. This is all good. It means more lives will be saved as every PP employee in the land worries s/he is being videotaped or bugged at every turn. Staff […]

by Kelli I am not a fan of the United Nations. First there is the United Nations Population Fund, which tacitly supports China’s one-child policy that includes forced abortions and sterilizations.
