Standing firm in my opposition to abortion

Tags: Pro-Life

For as precious as a child is after being born, she is just as precious prior to that moment. Her body – her life – is not somehow less valuable while dependent on her mother’s womb. Friends, I’m not talking about heartbreaking situations where decisions must be made concerning the life or health of the mother. Instead, I’m talking about abortion for convenience, as a method of birth…

This won't stand in the Senate, thankfully. But it's worth mentioning because it illustrates... again... just how far left the pendulum has swung for Democrats in Congress. For over 40 years, there's been a provision in federal law that prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for abortions except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. This provision is known as the…

President Biden’s Recent Budget Proposal

| Posted in Blog

I want to highlight a few things in President Biden’s recent budget proposal, because it really speaks to where his priorities are.   First, the crazed spending. For context, the federal government spent $4.1 trillion in fiscal year 2019, before the pandemic. This year, with COVID almost in the rear-view, Biden is proposing… get this… $7.2 trillion in spending – a 75%…

One-Way Ticket to a Socialistic Welfare State

| Posted in Blog

The agenda outlined by President Biden on Wednesday night is a one-way ticket to a socialistic welfare state with astronomical taxes, and government encroaching on every aspect of our lives.  His vision for our nation involves growing the size of almost every corner of the federal government. (With the exception of our military, to nobody’s surprise.) There’s simply no room to talk…
