BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU THINK: IN BRITAIN, IT MIGHT BE A CRIME, by Paul Coleman. “It seems oddly mediaeval to convict a man for his prayers. But the British courts have defied all reasonable expectations of modern democracy by convicting a man for doing just that on the streets of Bournemouth.

Adam converted to Christianity in later life, and is now deeply committed to prayer on the issue.” Read more here.

WHOOPS: NATIONAL ABORTION FEDERATION CEO DEBUNKS MEDIA REGARDING LATE ABORTIONS, by Bridget Sielicki. “The media continues to spread the lie that late abortion is rare, that no one would get an abortion extremely late in pregnancy, and that if late abortions happen, they’re only done for the most serious reasons.
