Ted Turner must have promised funding to RH Reality Check for only five years. Either that or he’s not happy with the product. Or perhaps he has decided to stop promoting abortion, which would be the best news of all. For whatever reason, Turner’s United Nations Foundation is dropping the abortion-pushing website he launched in […]

On November 5 police arrested former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky (pictured right) and charged him with 40 counts of child molestation after the release of a shocking grand jury report alleging he had sexually abused eight children over the course of a decade.

You may be a bit surprised to read this, as right wing extremist […]

Be very afraid of the evangelical Rick Perry, the Nation writes, stay away from the extremely moralistic Michele Bachmann and even the libertarian obstetrician Ron Paul, who had the gall to describe abortion procedures this weekend in Iowa. The Nation is a left-wing outlet for whom the religion of the Republican candidates – whatever that […]
