Introduction Pro‑abortion groups claim that legalized abortion is vital for women's health in the United States since, as they claim, thousands died of illegal abortions every year before the Supreme Court's Roe v.

Until about 1950, every major Protestant denomination vigorously opposed abortion, and church leaders condemned it in the strongest possible terms. Ministers were unfazed by pro-abortion criticism because their teachings were solidly based upon the theology of their original founders. John Calvin said: If it seems more disgraceful that a man [...]
Introduction Yale professor Edward Tufte is an information guru. He travels the world teaching people the art of “data visualization,” or how to most effectively present the power and the beauty of evidence.
