    Human Trafficking Victims: VAWA Supporters Just Didn't Care

    We've learned that if you cleverly craft a bill's title to include women, puppies, or kids, convincing members to vote against it will be as hard as getting a straight answer on Benghazi. And that's exactly what happened Thursday. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) passed and anyone who wasn't paying attention is probably overjoyed that it sounds like Congress finally defended women.

    D'SNL Unfunnied

    Most of my Catholic and Anglican friends are busy observing Lent these days. We Evangelicals don't usually do too much other than anticipate the arrival of Passion Week, Good Friday, and of course, Easter Sunday. Fasting for Lent isn't something we usually observe, because for one thing, we Evangelicals insist on either going all in or not participating at all. I mean, seriously, you want us to choose only one thing? Sorry. We can't seem to grasp the idea of giving up just coffee when the other

    Rubio Looks Beyond Union to Unity

    The state of the union for the GOP is much like the state of the Catholic Church in that it finds itself in the same dilemma— without a leader and with one question, "What do we do now?" And while the answers may not be clear, one thing is certain: the Obama Administration has forced faithful Catholics and Evangelicals to work together as a cohesive force standing up for religious liberty.

    The Boy Scout's Most Important Badge: Courage

    The all-out war against God's model for marriage and sexuality is at its apex. Just as we submit our Supreme Court "friend-of-the-court" briefs in support of marriage today, homosexual activists are putting enormous pressure on the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to finally embrace homosexuality by allowing homosexual leaders within their ranks.

    It's a No-Brainer: Congress Must Pass the SAFER Act

    We heard so much about the so-called "war on women" during the last presidential election, with both parties pointing the finger at the other. However, there is a real opportunity for Congress to protect American women before they leave for the Christmas break, and yet, the House and Senate are too busy haggling over the details to get it done.

    Caution to Republican Party: Drop Our Plank, Lose Our Vote

    So here's what a conservative pro-life woman has to say on this matter: you can go this route, but you will lose our vote forever.

  • A Sensitive Response to Rape

    A Sensitive Response to Rape

    It's difficult to have a smart and sensitive conversation about the vicious reality of rape and its consequences and not an oversimplified conversation of sound bites, or one that's been watered down so as not to offend. Recently, the subject of rape, and conception following rape, has been the center of politically charged debates sparking hostile discussion between national figures and political pundits. Of course, this has offered pro-abortion advocates a foothold by which to advance their li

  • A Mom Speaks Out Against Plan B in New York Public Schools

    Kids can't have a super-sized soda pop in The Empire State, but they can have the morning-after pill? Wow. Things really are "different in New York." As a woman and a mom, the idea of young girls getting any unauthorized medication at school is a concern. Ibuprofen isn't even allowed without explicit parental approval. Who are the geniuses that decided this is a good idea?

  • A Mom's Response to the Aurora Shootings

    As believers, we must help our children, relatives, coworkers, and neighbors see God's miracles amidst the chaos. Take Fox Denver's report that the gunman's largest, most deadly gun jammed. How many more lives were saved due to this mishap?
