“Planned Parenthood has been a part of Abby Johnson’s [...]

Birth Control: In Light of Demographics

Whether or not you believe that Genesis 1:28 is a cultural mandate or just was a cultural mandate, the following videos should give proponents of birth control great pause in light of the demographic trends we are seeing today. And demography aside, the idea that forced sterilization as a popular response to familial fruitfulness is [...]

The Racism of “Birth Control”

One of the most unconsidered aspects of the entire birth control debate is the history of the movement itself. Like any seismic social shift, the birth control movement in the United States had many angles, many spokesmen and women, and countless streams. It is of little historical doubt however, that every stream flowed from the same polluted [...]

The Children

A poem by John Piper:

The Children
Do you hear the children crying?
I can hear them every day,
Crying, sighing, dying, flying
Somewhere safe where they can play.
Somewhere safe from all the dangers,
Somewhere safe from crack and AIDS,
Safe from lust and lurking strangers,
Safe from war and bombing raids.
Somewhere safe from malnutrition,
Safe from daddy’s damning voice,
Safe from mommy’s cool ambition,
Safe [...]

Who or What Are You? Does it Depend On When You Ask?

For the abortion debate (and by extension, reproductive technologies such as IVF and embryonic stemcell research), some attempt to answer this question by removing the embryonic child from his historical context. They act as if it is possible to isolate any “thing” from its chronological bearings, and then come to judgement upon what “it” is. [...]

“Can I Live?” : Pro-Life Music Video, and Abortion as Racism

“Abortion, by the numbers, is a racist institution. That’s not to say that all or even most of those who support abortion are racists. Nor does it imply that there are no racists among those who oppose abortion. This statement has nothing to do with agendas or intent. It has everything to [...]

Step into the Abortion Forest: Seeing the Human in Humanity

It is said that you can get so far from the forest that you can no longer see the trees. You can become so acquainted with the ‘big picture’ that you forget that the grand painting has a definite subject. You can come to miss the human in humanity.
That temptation is a clear and present [...]

The Man You’ve Probably Never Heard Of But Need To: Anthony Comstock

He was a giant of reform. He beat his drum and he beat it loudly and often — and perhaps most importanly, he beat it unrelentingly. If you overheard his story in a modern context, many of you would assume he was a convicted Catholic. But you would be mistaken.
Anthony Comstock was, what some have [...]
