The last few weeks on social media has had me going: WT #&%*@! The sadness, fear, and rage that it stirred in me was ugly. This media may be social, but, in many hearts, has only led to forming more polarized tribes. (This point has been made very forcefully and eloquently by Senator Ben Sasse […]
I’m in the process of reading a great deal of writings by Margaret Sanger in an effort to understand the mind that went into the formation of one of the most diabolical organizations in America today, that of Planned Parenthood.
