Holy Ground
I ended up on this blog and found this photo and commentary and love it!

Perspectives of an Adoptive Father | Part 2

The Grassroots Abortion War
The latest TIME magazine has a great article about the pregnancy care center movement. Please read it and I’d love to hear your thoughts. According to the article:
Two companies—CareNet and Heartbeat International—serve three-fourths of the crisis pregnancy centers in the U.S. Unknown and unaffiliated a few decades ago, such centers now outnumber abortion providers in [...]
