Worms was a small city of 7000. However, there was nothing modest about what took place on April 18, 1521. On that day, Martin Luther was at the center of the most important turning point in the history of Christianity since Christ. (more…)

As recently as last year the Guttmacher Policy Review published an article with the title ‘Abortion Does Not Increase Women’s Risk of Mental Health Problems’.

I received significant feedback on the topic from a number of people, several of whom disagreed with the position I took. For the most part, while impassioned, the replies were considerate and took pains to argue the strength of the opposing argument.
