Experience shows that once legalized, euthanasia very quickly becomes normalized and both the “logical slippery slope” (i.e. the major expansion of who may have access, and on what conditions, and in which circumstances) and the “practical slippery” slope (i.e. failure to comply with the law in administering euthanasia) are unavoidable. Read more

96% of Women Who Gave Birth After Being Denied an Abortion Were Glad They Didn’t Abort.

We don’t think abortion should be outlawed because when women give birth after being denied abortion, nearly all of them end up saying they no longer wish they’d aborted.

As Moral Relativism Replaces Christian Values, Americans Will Suffer More Mass Shootings.

The devolution of American society began when moral relativism supplanted biblical truth in education, government, and the family.
