 Justice Is Blinded 


By Jason Morgan:

On August 29, my friend Will Goodman and four other defendants were convicted (and immediately jailed) in federal court in Washington, D.C., of violating the FACE Act. Their alleged offenses occurred on October 22, 2020, when the group disrupted a late-term-abortion mill run by the notorious DC “doctor” Cesare Santangelo. (Others also entered the clinic that day—their trial is set to begin September 6.) Will and his co-defendants, as well as the others, could be sentenced to up to eleven years in a federal penitentiary for “conspiracy against rights.”

Feminists and Contraception 

(Special access to the new Summer issue of Human Life Review!)


By Alexandra DeSanctis:

 South Carolina Upholds Abortion Ban While Pro-Abortion Advocates Play Language Games 


By Madeline Fry Schultz:

We have some good news for South Carolinians: The state’s Supreme Court upheld its abortion ban last week, which means unborn babies cannot be aborted after a heartbeat has been detected, around six weeks. This week, the [state's] Supreme Court further cemented its decision, saying it refuses to reconsider the case. For pro-life jurisprudence, and for South Carolina babies in the womb, this is a positive development. Unfortunately, you wouldn’t know that from the headlines.

 Forward to Basics 

By Rev. Paul T. Stallsworth:

There are many people, clergy and laity, who have a strong witness for life. Most never speak their witness before an audience or in front of a camera.

 Lift High the Cross 

By Rev. George G. Brooks:

With St. Paul the apostle, we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

My dad was a slick-talking charmer who hadn’t energy for much beyond drinking, gambling, and chasing women, though he was, in his way, generous and loving, too. He was around on occasion, and I suppose he could’ve offered me more direction (and I received more than either my brother or sister did), but his passions didn’t leave a lot of time for children. It hardly matters now; I’ve long since put thoughts of things that might have been to rest.
