A Matter of Conscience

Currently, the Obama administration is trying to rescind the conscience protection for our medical professionals. This protection currently (in theory) protects a person from having legal action taken against them if they refuse to do something because it goes against their conscience and/or religion. A woman cannot sue a doctor for not giving her an abortion referral.  Read More »

I've got da POWER!

Tagged:  •  

OK, I don't generally post random diary-type blog posts (one because I doubt there are too many people who would really care that my day was boring and full of school and two because we're not really supposed to...), but my Valentine's Day totally took the cake (no pun intended!) for an incredible day!  Read More »

The Prevention First Act

The Prevention First Act...better titled "The-government-is-going-to-make-sure-everyone-else-pays-for-your-lack-of-self-control" Act. On second thought, that's a bit of a doozy, so I'll stick to its formal name for this blog entry.

Sadly, our heat is electric, so we have no heat.  Read More »

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

The March for Life was, yet again, an incredible trip! This was the 36th annual march and my third. It was a different experience, because I went with a Kentucky group instead of a northeastern group and we stayed a bit longer in Washington. I left my house on Monday and stayed overnight with a friend. The next morning, we got up and went to Mass. I offered up my Mass for the new president.  Read More »

National Sanctity of Human Life Day, March for Life, and WTF?!?!?!

The few weeks are going to be really big in the pro-life movement. Really big as in HUGE!

Today (Sunday the 18th), is the National Sanctity of Human Life Day, as declared by President George W. Bush. Yay, Bush! For all the idiotic things he's done in office, I'm glad he did this the other day.  Read More »
