You’ve probably been asking yourself the same thing I have: ‘What can an ordinary dissenter like me do to save this republic?’ My answer is: ‘Anything I can to fortify myself and others.’
I didn’t vote for Donald Trump in 2016, but this year, only an act of God could stop me from doing so. In 2016, Trump had no track record. But now he does, and it’s amazing.
One mom shared that, six months ago, she saw herself as a ‘solid centrist.’ But ‘there’s no middle anymore.’ She is very concerned about the ‘loss of objectivity’ fueled by a biased media.
Greenlighting the ‘transition’ of eight-year-olds in the name of non-discrimination to advance your political career has to be one of the most cynical political moves of this presidential contest.
American Flag Guy noted that the ideas animating the ‘defund the police’ protestors were the greatest source of ‘oppression’ he faces ‘as a black man in America’ today.
If you believe in the inherent dignity of all people, will stand for the truth, and refuse to denounce your friends, then the Courage Pledge is for you.

The left is freaking out that a new Trump-appointed federal judge realizes the harm involved when babies are manufactured in laboratories. But we need more judges like Sarah Pitlyk.
The ultimate solution to the problem is not ‘embryo adoption.’ The solution is never creating surplus embryos to begin with. No human being should be in storage.
It seems to me that if Christians are serious about avoiding errors that are ‘incredibly damaging to the gospel and the church,’ we will be careful to get sex and marriage exactly right.
James’s non-biological parent’s willingness to risk her child’s long-term health struggle contrasts sharply with his biological parent’s desire to protect him.
When biology isn’t the basis for parenthood, it’s a major power grab for the state. This Supreme Court case has the potential to either strengthen or degrade every parent-child relationship in the country.
I’m grateful that gay conservatives are fighting the religious bigotry being imposed on people of faith this era of ‘tolerance.’ However, gay marriage presents a more significant threat to another vulnerable group.
Through surrogacy, at the moment of birth, the child loses a relationship with the only parent he or she has ever known. It’s a deep and enduring wound.
Embryos are routinely manufactured according to specification — their genetic makeup is literally chosen from a catalogue.
The debate around adoption rules is dangerously centered on the needs of adults — at the expense of the kids in question.
What is it like for a child to grow up not just without knowledge of her mother, but with the knowledge that she was bought and paid for?
