On this 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 36th annual March for Life in Washington was expecting over 200,000 people this year, estimating that the majority of them are young people, students, young adults, and even children with their parents.

Faith in Haiti

On the car radio a couple of days ago, I caught an interesting interview on Beeb radio with Tina Brown about media in decline and President Obama in….well, decline. Brown now claims he should have never been so built up in the first place.

In the aftermath of Tuesday’s Massachusetts election, today’s anniversary of President Obama’s inauguration has been all but overloooked in the media, although some did start their analysis early, like The Economist suggesting it’s time for Obama to get tough, after a year of being….just adequate.

“Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of a Beloved Community where all are treated with respect and dignity,” said Dr. Alveda King.

What’s PP doing on MLK Day?

Sheila Liaugminas | 18 January 2010

On the anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest civil rights leaders in history, who eloquently preached and fought for the sanctity of human life and the dignity of every human being, two stories that crossed my path struck me as jarring.

A picture is worth…

Sheila Liaugminas | 15 January 2010

No amount of words could convey what pictures of the Haiti tragedy say.
