A magazine was delivered to my office by mistake. The cover captivated my attention and begged me to read the story. It was the picture of a sixteen year old girl with an arm that had been amputated. Beside the photo was another of the same girl when she was a sweet little toddler raising one arm in …
I have been in Washington, DC for nearly eight years, and I have seen January 22nd come and go numerous times. It is the anniversary of Roe v Wade, and each year I have grown more and more grieved over the great loss that it represents. What makes this one far more significant than all …
I watched a pro-life movie called “Meant To Be” with my husband a few nights ago. I liked the overall theme of forgiveness and redemption, but there was one part that has made me question some things. The main character says that Christians outside the abortion centers are hypocrites and do not do anything but …
One of my favorite stories in the Bible is about a desperate woman who realizes that the living God sees her. It happens in and around Genesis 21 and it is the seemingly impossible story of survival and hope for Hagar and Ishmael. She is not married, homeless, jobless, and has a starving young boy …

As a writer and teacher, I have always been fascinated by language, but it didn’t take much education to see the disparity of language this week when a story in a Midwestern paper reported on the discovery of “fetus bones.” The article in the Sioux Falls, SD Argus Leader reported that: [T]he Deuel County Sheriff’s …
A law that was supposed to take effect this month barring the adoption of Russian children by Americans has been granted what some are calling a “miraculous” reprieve. The law signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin was set to take effect January 1, leaving in limbo orphans who were in the process of being adopted …
It has not ceased to move my heart that one out of every three women in America has an abortion by the age of 45. That means if you know three women, you know one that has had an abortion. Even the ones who celebrate choice rarely celebrate the decision they made to abort. Secret …
The episode was called “Small Victories,” but Parenthood producers might have done better to call it “Small Dead Baby.” On Tuesday night, the popular NBC drama about dysfunctional people featured Planned Parenthood’s number-one service, abortion, in an episode where a teenage girl finds out she is pregnant and quickly has an abortion. Parenthood is a …
