Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, January 22
It’s hard to think clearly about 50 million.It’s a number so big that we don’t really know what it means. Take one baby and ponder that child for a moment. Look at his eyes, his ears, reach out and touch his tiny fingers. Hold that baby in your arms and think what a miracle it is that even one baby should enter the world.&nbs...

Should We Be Glad George Tiller is Dead?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, June 1, 2009
A thoughtful person wrote a note asking how pro-life Christians should feel about the murder of Dr. George Tiller, the late-term abortionist who was gunned down while serving as an usher in his church in Wichita, Kansas. The writer frames the question this way: Do you think it’s a sin to feel relief that he is dead? While I would never condon...
We Shall Not Weary, We Shall Not Rest
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, January 18, 2009
In one of his final acts, President Bush designated today as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. In so doing, the president noted that “the most basic duty of the government is to protect the innocent.” And who among us is more innocent and more worthy of protection than the unborn? On January 9 we lost an ardent spokesman for the pro-...

Time to Go to the Holy Land
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, January 17, 2007
