Abortion Rampage

The LA Times ran a piece about abortion that is hard to categorize [http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-abortion29nov29,0,2003322,full.story] . Meant to make abortion look acceptable, it has so many disturbing passages that I suspect it does the exact opposite. The piece revolves

Outside Looking In

Disgusting, yes, but give the guy credit. At least he's not stealthily trying to tear the Church apart. Nothing is worse than the renegade priests who cover up their apostasy in hopes of furthering it (the M.O. of heretics throughout the ages): > The Rev. Tim Stier,
