Stop Telling Me I Should Have Killed My Daughter
“You should have killed your daughter.” That’s the implicit charge I hear in the abortion debate from many of those who claim to be fighting for “women’s rights”. Every time a new abortion story hits the news, I see members of the media or posts on social media that mention “genetic abnormalities,” “Down’s Syndrome,” “fetal…
It’s OK to Grieve for Our Country
Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! my heart is faint within me. Jeremiah 8:18 * I’ve recently delved into the books of the Prophets in the Bible. I studied them in college, and as a student, I looked at dates and names, trying to keep everything straight for papers and tests. But as…
Yes, Mass Transit Creates Opportunity

Interested to hear more, I engaged and found a group of several other curious students. The student organization was composed of two visually impaired men, and the sport was…
Human Dignity Should Influence our Economic System
To treat people as people is much different—and much more important—than treating things as things. To use a fork to dig a trench, rather than its intended use in spearing green beans and other assorted foods, would be inefficient. Forks are ill-suited for trench-digging, what with their slots and rather short stature. Still, there is…
Seeing the Humanity of the Homeless
For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, “You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.” Deuteronomy 15:11 * I want to preface this by saying this is my experience and reflection. I cannot speak to other…
