I usually refrain from commenting upon issues unique to other states because I try to adhere to a strict interpretation of the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. What happens in Massachusetts and Minnesota may distress me but if they want to weight themselves down in taxes and cultural decay that is their business. […]

Colonial Forge High School in Stafford County is being sued by a student who was denied the opportunity to start a school recognized pro-life club (read the story here). The student is being represented by the Alliance Defence Fund (read their story here).
Apparently, the student’s request was denied because the school claimed the club was […]
I haven’t heard anything about this except in this one article in the Chicago Sun-Times. Apparently the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has filed a lawsuit against the FDA saying that women are not adequately informed about the morning after pill (also called Plan B, or EC for emergency contraceptive).
I have been watching and […]
I was alarmed to hear on the news this morning of a video being used in public schools for elementary aged kids.
The video, “That’s a Family!” was produced by the San Francisco based Women’s Educational Media. The film is recommended for grades 1-6 and is narrated almost entirely by children.
