There are essentially two types of charities in the world. Those that provide tangible services, like a soup kitchen, and those that provide non-tangible services, like a public school. But if you mix up the categories, you'll have a hard time evaluating their records of success.
Track 11 on Switchfoot's new Forever Now! album contains a metaphor so simple and profound that we really need to talk about it. Without mentioning abortion, it testifies to the humanity of children in the womb. And without getting religious, it reveals how shortsighted it is to simply assume that nothing awaits us beyond the grave.
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Frederica Mathewes-Green’s “Let’s Have More Teen Pregnancy,” and Sheldon Vanauken’s A Severe Mercy. Let’s talk about them all, and why the old vices were better than the new.
Pro-life luminaries Scott Klusendorf and Seth Gruber find themselves on opposite sides of the "Equal Protection" debate. Their respective arguments (and recent articles) leave us with a lot to consider. Does justice demand that we prosecute mothers for the crime of abortion, or does wisdom demand that we take the victories we can get?
The existence of evil in a world made by a good God isn't all that hard to explain. But how can evil exist in a world where believers with even a modicum of belief are promised anything they ask for in prayer? Have you ever thought about why that is and what it says about our faith?
Massachusetts' reported abortion total for 2024 is shocking and unprecedented. It's double the reported total from 2023 and triple the total from 2020. Then there's this. The vast majority of Massachusetts' 2024 abortions occurred out of state on women who live out of state. How is that possible? Good question.
England's total fertility rate has fallen to an all-time low. An unsustainable low. Meanwhile, it pays to abort nearly a third of its unborn children. And almost all of those abortions now occur apart from any hospital, doctor’s office, or abortion clinic. They happen in the mother's own home, because it's now easier in Great Britain to have an abortion than it is to see a doctor.
There is no shortage of people out there who reject virtually every tenet of the Christian faith but insist they know exactly what Jesus would or wouldn't do. Some of them recently descended upon a church in the Twin Cities. The divine command to "love your neighbor" has become the basis for all sorts of diabolical schemes, so we better give some serious thought to what Christ is and isn't calling…
I like listening to Batya Ungar-Sargon—who shows up with some frequency on The Megyn Kelly Show and The Free Press. She is charming and energetic and generally full of astute analysis, but her takes on abortion and gay marriage are less commendable. Batya’s argument is essentially this:
Planned Parenthood asserts that over 80% of Americans support legal abortion. And plenty of people have taken them at their word. But anyone who bothers to examine the basis of their dubious claim will come to a very different conclusion. Since few people are willing to make that effort, we've done the legwork for you.
The era of virtual abortion clinics looks to have officially arrived. Which is very bad news. Because just as anonymity and ease of access vastly increased the market for pornography, virtual abortion clinics look to do the same in the realm of baby killing. God help us.
Earlier this month, new #WeCount abortion estimates were published for the first half of 2025.
Why are there no gay couples on Dancing with the Stars?! And what does that tell us about the modern pretense that two men or two women can be wed? In an effort to better understand what all is covered by the Bible's condemnation of "sexual immorality," we offer this long and convoluted trip through Scripture. Starting in Genesis 1:1.

During the late 1970's two of the biggest bands in the world were linked by a single abortion. The Eagles' Don Henley was the father and Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks was the mother. Nicks purportedly had the abortion to ensure that Fleetwood Mac would survive, but as things turned out, neither band would survive for long. Was their abortion at all to blame?
Thanks to America This Week, I’ve been on a top-ten kick of late.
In 2021, Voddie Baucham and Charlie Kirk shared the stage—along with Eric Metaxas—at Salem Media's panel discussion on biblical justice vs. social justice. Voddie and Charlie both died within weeks of either other last month, making their remarks at this event even more worth hearing.
Eric Metaxas sent out a video last week from 2021 titled “Biblical Justice vs.
An entirely unknown Charlie Kirk was just five years old when I started working for the Center for Bio-ethical Reform.
Charlie Kirk was hated by the world for the same reasons as Jesus. For testifying that its works are evil (John 7:7). And just like Christ before him, the world killed him for it. It's been six decades since an American icon was last assassinated, which makes this new ground for almost all of us. May God grant that we learn our lesson before it's too late.
