I used to believe in birth control as a means to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions, but I changed my mind. Here’s why.
In 1968, Pope Paul VI wrote Humanae Vitae and was mocked for it. He saw exactly where we were headed.
He predicted that widespread contraception would open the door to more infidelity, a lowering of moral standards, and men viewing women as something to use instead of someone to honor and protect. This is what happens when we separate sex from commitment and from the possibility of life.
Contraception didn’t reduce abortion; it helped build the mindset that made abortion inevitable and provided another opportunity to profit off women’s bodies.
When society is told that it is possible have sex without consequences, the baby is viewed as a failure.
A child is not a failure. We shouldn’t be surprised that a child results from a procreative act.
We fail ourselves by dividing sex from the goodness God created it for. We fail our children by viewing them as accidents.
Work is not considered simply as a problem to be dealt with or a means of generating income, but a fundamental good for the person, a principle of economic activity and the key to the entire societal question. Through work, human beings bring their freedom, creativity and capacity for cooperation into play, contributing to the cultural and moral elevation of society.

Eighty-two years ago, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy into the hell of war — answering the call of duty in defense of freedom.
Today, we honor their courage, remember their sacrifice, and remain forever grateful for the liberty they secured for generations to come.

No I won’t pay more for gas so some lefty millionaire can make money off his green energy company and donate to the Democratic Party in exchange for new green regulations.
Yes I’ll pay more for gas so Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon.
It’s not complicated.
At all.

The annual Pentecost tradition (today!) at Rome's Pantheon is a moment of extraordinary beauty.
It occurs every year on the seventh Sunday after Easter. At noon, after the Holy Mass, thousands of rose petals are dropped through the oculus of the mighty dome.
As the petals fall, a choir sings "Veni Sancte Spiritus," known as the Golden Sequence, a masterpiece of sacred Latin poetry.
This is to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles.
The rose petal ritual likely dates back to 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church.
Gen X here... I remember going to McDonald's for birthday parties & on rare occasions w/ my family for a treat. Eating out was NEVER an everyday occurrence... not even weekly. Months would go buy w/ nothing but grocery store bought food. Where are these people getting their info?
Properly understood, the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause doesn’t banish religion from the public square, require us to embrace the agnostic faux-religion of secularism, or establish a “wall of separation” between religious people and government
It prohibits Congress from establishing a national church
That’s it
The funny thing is once you’re pregnant, entirely new unknown fears will be unlocked, they won’t be about you, they’ll be about that little life inside you, and the least of your worries will be bouncing back.
I beat Strom Thurmond’s son in a majority-white district for a seat in Congress.
Then won statewide in South Carolina, a majority white state.
South Carolina elects leaders based on ideas, not identity. Stop erasing reality to rig the game.

Homeschooling opponents aren’t worried that homeschooled kids might be deprived of a good education (look at public school outcomes, for goodness’ sake). They’re worried it will be too good.
Citizens who can read and think well are harder to deceive and harder to control.
