Before addressing the subject of this week’s column, an issue of grave concern, I begin with a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien’s book, “The Fellowship of the Ring.” I make specific reference to the scene where Gandalf stands alone on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm facing the Balrog, a sinister being.

Read MoreThe latest effort by pro-abortion Democrats to pass an extreme pro-abortion law has failed. A few days ago, the U.S. Senate voted against allowing the so-called Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) to proceed to a debate and then a final vote. This truly egregious piece of legislation – “more radical than Roe v. Wade” itself…
Read MoreToday I have deeply discouraging news to report out of South America. On Monday, February 21, the Constitutional Court of Colombia issued a 5-4 arbitrary and unconstitutional decision that abortion is to be allowed, without restriction, up through 24 weeks of pregnancy. In a press release, the Constitutional Court stated that abortion “will only be…
Read MoreA few days ago, Italy’s Constitutional Court blocked an effort to hold a national referendum on whether or not to legalize euthanasia. Pro-euthanasia campaigners had gathered over 1.2 million signatures in support of the referendum.
