April 28, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Catastrophe brings reflection. What is most precious to me? What have I taken for granted? And ideally, the number one issue, am I following God’s will for my life? I share some nostalgia for “the way things were.” Churches and vacation Bible schools packed with families and children. Holiday parties where people don’t hesitate to hug each other. Birthdays at noisy, fun restaurants with friends and family. Plane trips where the main worry is making your connection. But is all America’s recent past worth recapturing? If we’re revising life-as-usual, maybe we have a chance to...

President Trump just defunded the World Health Organization. This is a huge win for the people of the world, especially children. It is widely agreed that the WHO mishandled the COVID-19 outbreak and displayed behavior that evidenced an intriguing alliance with communist China or, at the very least, a fear of it. What is less well-known is the WHO’s alliance with organizations that promote what they call “sexual rights” for children, which can be better understood as an encouraging sexual behavior and ideas from an extremely young age. The WHO is a United Nations entity that was launched as one...

The social justice set has been shrieking about “lives being at risk” for almost a decade. But now that we’re faced with actual devastation to the human way of life, it becomes clear that it was always only rhetoric. Social justice is the culture that cried wolf. Now that lives are truly at risk as a result of a global pandemic, quick action is being implemented in North America to protect our most vulnerable. Instead of supporting these common sense, ideally temporary changes, required to get through this unprecedented time, the church of social justice is actually jealous of coronavirus....

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 28 (C-Fam) The humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders launched online medical abortion guidelines that its partner group acknowledges will be used for do-it-yourself abortions. Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), says it “has teamed up with” HowToUseAbortionPill.org to create an online video guide on how to use pills to abort an unborn child up to 22 weeks. In a cartoon-based guide, MSF shows how to “push out the pregnancy,” in “a process that is similar to miscarriage.” MSF says its “goal is to ensure that everyone” can get the information “no matter who...

Once more, the wisdom of the ancient world has been proven true. A new report by British researchers shows strong association between the number of one's lifetime sexual partners and one's risk of developing cancer and other serious diseases.  According to a new report published in BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health, women with 10 or more lifetime sexual partners were 91% more likely to develop cancer compared to those with zero to one partner, while men with that number of partners were 64% more likely to contract cancer. The researchers based their work on the English Longitudinal Study of Aging, a detailed study...

February 17, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A few years ago, the best way to trigger an advocate for redefining marriage to include same-sex couples would be to note that once the gender of those involved in the marriage became arbitrary, there really was no reason, strictly speaking, that the number of partners involved should be limited, either. This logical argument—that once you redefine one characteristic of an institution, there is no reason you can’t redefine others, too—was extremely inconvenient for the activists who recognized that they needed to move the Overton Window slowly enough that nobody would get too alarmed. It...

Novo-Ogaryovo, February 13, Interfax - Russian President Vladimir Putin said that as long as he remains in office, Russia will not legitimize same-sex marriages. "As concerns Parent No. 1 and Parent No. 2, I've said publicly some time ago, and I'll repeat once again now: as long as I am president, we won't have parents number one and number two, we will have Mom and Dad," Putin said at a meeting with members of a working group for preparing constitutional amendments on Thursday. State Duma deputy Olga Batalina said at the meeting that the working group had received numerous proposals...

First, it was an unexpected appearance at President Donald Trump's impeachment hearings, and now it’s a barrier-breaking debut during one of the year’s most watched sporting events. Drag queens, for the first time, will appear in a Super Bowl advertisement. “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alumni Kim Chi and Miz Cracker will make history in a commercial for hummus brand Sabra during the football championship game Feb. 2, when the Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers. In the teaser for the ad campaign, which the New York-based company posted on its YouTube channel last week, Miz Cracker clumsily attempts...

No person in the United States would look approvingly upon a few inches transforming a piece of property devoid of human rights into a person to be protected and cherished by society. If you leave New York City and travel north a few hundred miles, you will eventually come to a line across the landscape. To the north of the line lies Canada, and to the south, the United States. The line has no geological significance; its importance is entirely derived from political agreement between the United States and Canada. Step across the line and your status changes. If you...

Why Do Democrats & Liberals Refuse To Protect Children & Families? Their Agenda Is Our Destruction!! *video is 28 minutes long* warning language.

A brutal business climate and societal breakdown have brought major changes to America. In response, many Americans, especially conservatives, are soul searching for something more compassionate for those left behind. Unfortunately, they are looking in the most unlikely places: business and government. They will likely be searching for a long time. The controversy over this shift in mentality erupted with the publication of a Wall Street Journal advertisement in which major firms pledge a commitment to “stakeholder” capitalism, which holds businesses should be run having all society, not just shareholders, in mind. Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) stirred the pot with...

Katriana Ciccotto, a young post-abortive woman, recently shared her abortion story on Channel 5 News in the UK in an attempt to end the stigma surrounding abortion. She argued that because one in three women in the UK has had an abortion, the shame of abortion needs to end. But the number of times a moral wrong is committed does not suddenly make it a moral right. In the interview, Ciccotto explained that she was using birth control when she became pregnant, as is the case with most unplanned pregnancies. As previously reported by Live Action News, a survey by...

Ahh, those Christmas traditions. Gathering with family, expressing love and respect, cherishing those near to us and remembering those departed, without whom we and our progeny would not exist, and, most important, celebrating the birth of Christ… ...and reading that classic Dickens story, “Anal Sex 101,” at Teen Vogue. Sadly, it seems that some folks not only don’t remember that narrative being part of the celebration of Christ’s birth, they’re suffering under the bizarre delusion that promoting something like it on Christmas Day is insulting and classless. Well, many of the writers, editors, and publishers churning out that “magazine” for...

It seems like there’s no shortage of alphabet soup in the diet of media consumption during [current year]. The buffet of pop-culture offerings seems to be dwindling down heteronormative standards in place of trying to adhere to the whims of the Twitter hordes and Portland-esque propaganda puppets who want all things Rainbow Reich controlling media, politics, and society in general. This became evident with Amazon’s Christmas ad, which decided to fall lock-step in sync with [current year] trends. The ad is a minute and a half long, and it was originally published back on November 3rd, 2019 over on Amazon’s...

A new mandatory sex education curriculum being rolled out in the United Kingdom teaches children as young as 6 about “stimulating” their genitals. The All About Me program already is drawing outrage from parents across the UK, the Daily Mail reports. More than 240 schools are slated to begin teaching it next September, and parents are not allowed to opt their children out of the program, according to the report. The lessons for 6- and 7-year-old students include the topic “Touching Myself.” According to the report, the program teaches children that “lots of people like to tickle or stroke themselves...

Like most of my colleagues, I intended to have two, maybe three kids. And like them, I thought the Catholic view of sex and contraception was ridiculous. That was about 25 years ago. Since then, I’ve discovered Theology of the Body (TOB) — Pope John Paul II’s biblical analysis of what it means to be human. This radically transformed my view of the body, human sexuality — and in turn, birth control. And now, I don’t think the Catholic view is ridiculous. I think it’s biblical. And though I’m not dogmatic about it, I, like a growing number of evangelicals,...

Talk about overkill! The ultra-liberal UMC Next caucus has released its “Next Generation UMC” proposal for the 2020 General Conference, consisting of 23 petitions across 33 pages. UMC Next’s Convening Team includes celebrity pastor Adam Hamilton, Tom Berlin (lead submitter of the misleadingly named “One Church Plan” to the 2019 General Conference), Jasmine Smothers (another Commission on a Way Forward member and “One Church Plan” sponsor), Jan Lawrence (CEO of the LGBTQ liberationist Reconciling Ministries Network), Randall Miller (former head of RMN), Bishop Sue Haupert-Johnson of North Georgia, Bishop Mike McKee of North Texas, Junius Dotson (CEO of our denomination’s...

Warning: Article contains graphic sexual content November 6, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – When I consider the long-term well-being of our children and what they are taught at school, my first thought always goes to pole-dancing. How about you? Planned Parenthood apparently thinks this way. A fundraiser called “Femme Fest” is being held in Olympia, Washington by the Northwest and Hawaii Planned Parenthood political action group, and it’s labeled a “sex education information” evening. The timing is ironic in relation to a recent school board vote in the nearby Battle Ground school district that rejected pornographic, pro-abortion “comprehensive sex education” via a...
