Last month, a Duke University freshman made headlines because she chose to pay for her college education by appearing in adult movies. This young woman defended her decision to become a porn star via an article where she wrote, “I have never felt more empowered or happy… I am in control of my sexuality.” According to this student, it is “how the world should be.” As Christians we obviously disagree this is how things should be – but sadly, her view on sex is how things are for far too many college-aged women.
Is McDonald’s Harming Children?
The McDonald’s “Happy Meal” is a predictable if not overly nutritious treat of childhood.
You know what you’re going to get: a kid-approved meal and a toy.
But a recent push by a daughter-father team is turning the traditionally mundane product into a political football.
No Such Thing As Girl or Boy Toys?
Slate’s recent blog post, “McDonald’s Gave Me the ‘Girl’s Toy’ With My Happy Meal. So I Went to the CEO,” outlines how, back in 2008, high schooler Antonia Ayres-Brown grew frustrated when McDonald’s asked her family if they wanted a “girl toy” or a “boy toy” with their Happy Meal.
Did You Hear What Happened in Denver Last Night?
It’s not every day that you find a high-ranking Catholic prelate standing with a bullhorn on the steps of a state capital building, leading the public in prayer for the defense and protection of pre-born life.
But that’s exactly what happened earlier this week as Denver’s Archbishop Samuel Aquila rallied the faithful and denounced Senate Bill 175.
The bill would have enshrined abortion in law and prohibited any incremental pro-life laws from being passed in the state of Colorado.
Good News: Common-Sense Abortion Industry Rules Upheld in Texas
The first time some people heard of the dangers abortion can pose for the woman was during the court trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell last year.
Kermit Gosnell was ultimately found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, who died from complications from her abortion.
However, the sad reality is that medical complications and even death can threaten the lives of women who seek abortions – even in centers that submit to state regulations and inspections.
How to Respond to the Ousting of Mozilla’s CEO
This is the kind of news story that will make you shake your head at where we are as a culture.
The co-founder of Firefox maker Mozilla, Brendan Eich, is a “thoughtful, nerdy, humble guy” (according to a homosexual San Francisco-based journalist) – the type of man you would want to run a technology company. He created the JavaScript programming language and uses his smarts and influence to advance the principles of individual freedom and an open Internet.
Ghastly Revelation Gives Abortion Debate a Moment of Clarity
The news came as a shocker to many: British hospitals were incinerating the remains of aborted and miscarried babies to heat their facilities.
How can we not be aghast at this news… at this act committed against these precious little bodies?
As The Telegraph reports, England’s “Department of Health issued an instant ban on the practice which health minister Dr. Dan Poulter branded ‘totally unacceptable.’”
Indeed, it is “totally unacceptable” that parents who had just lost their child weren’t consulted on what they wanted to happen to their babies’ remains.
World Vision’s Reversal Is the Right Decision
Since its founding in 1950, World Vision has put the teachings of Jesus Christ into daily practice around the world by feeding and caring for those in dire need. As a ministry, it’s been one the great gems of evangelical Christendom. The organization has made – and is making – a dramatic difference in the lives of countless individuals.
Which is why I was so perplexed and concerned after learning of their policy change allowing their employees to live in homosexual marriage.
Please Pray for Religious Liberties Cases before the Supreme Court Today
Today the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments for two cases that will have far-reaching implications for our religious freedom: Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties v. Sebelius.
I’d like to ask for you to please pray about these cases – but before I go into specific prayer requests, I want to share a bit about why they’re so important.
Both cases have to do with objections the families who own these for-profit companies have to certain requirements found in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
Businessman’s Kindness Towards Girl with Autism Hope-Renewing
You may have seen the headlines:
– Hotel guest leaves nasty letter for parents of crying baby
– Panera Bread kicks out toddler with disability over orthopedic shoes, mom says
– Restaurant bans kids at night, joins others in adding child-free policy
Sometimes it seems like the culture is making our job as parents more difficult. While I understand that some moms and dads can be overly permissive, there are signs that the general public’s tolerance towards children seems to be waning.
The Father Who Wished His Son Had Never Been Born
Peter Lanza is still reeling at his son’s death.
That’s understandable because Peter’s son was Adam Lanza, the young man who killed his own mother plus 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School before taking his own life in December 2012.
In a series of interviews with The New Yorker’s Andrew Solomon, Peter breaks his silence and opens up about his son.
Yet there’s only one line in the 7,600-word article that’s making headlines: “Peter declared that he wished Adam had never been born.”
Wow.
