I know a woman who had an abortion when she was a frightened 18 year old. Her lover, her friend, the young man she’d known since they were kids– he ran out on her. The emotional scars she carries from that have hurt her sexuality and the rest of her self-esteem. It may take decades for her to learn to trust again. But, ask her: was the abortion a mistake? She’ll say the relationship was the mistake. The abortion was a necessity.
My point is that men make the laws, enforce the laws, and run all the religious institutions. And these men haven’t a clue about what a woman’s relationship is to her body, or to her own potential, or to the people who are already in her life. How do they presume to decide? If her fetus is premature, or autistic, or needs multiple surgeries, or if the stress of carrying an unwanted child causes the woman to have a mental breakdown, will these pro-lifers supply the financial support and loving care the mother and child need?
I have Christian friends who seem compassionate, but oppose government spending because they want low taxes– in order to buy the best for themselves and their own children. Check the Epistle of James on the difference between faith and works. Unless you are perfect in charity, don’t cast stones.

Only 16 percent still considered the United States an ally. That’s down from 22 percent eight months earlier. Twenty percent now consider the United States a rival or adversary. In Germany, France, and Spain, that number approaches 30 percent. NATO was built on the premise that Europe …
- Nuclear Bomb DominoIran’s nuclear facilities were bombed. The IAEA says the sites weren’t destroyed. Iran still holds 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium.

- The Nuclear Treaty Expired QuietlyNew START was the last nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia. It limited both countries to 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads each. It required inspections. It required verification. Basically, it was the single remaining guardrail on a combined arsenal capable of ending human civilization several times over. It expired on February 4, 2026. There was no replacement or any negotiations. There was …
- 85 SecondsThe Doomsday Clock started in 1947. It was created by the scientists who built the atomicĀ bomb. These are people who understood exactly what they had made and were terrified of it. For seventy-nine years they have moved that clock forward and backward based on how close the world is to ending itself. In 1991, when the Cold War ended, they moved it back to …
