Sammy Perez knows about second chances. In 2005, he was sentenced to prison for ten years in Virginia, serving his time in both youth and adult facilities.

Perez grew up without knowing his father – only seeing him twice before his dad was murdered. His mom struggled with mental illness. Taken away from her at age two, he was shunted around between family members.

At age eleven, his mother knew she could not offer the care he needed and gave him up to social services, where he became a ward of the state. Perez still has a relationship with her, but she still struggles with mental health issues.

All this led to “an introduction to the streets at an early age,’ he told The Daily Citizen.

But imprisonment also led to his redemption. While Perez was out in the prison yard, his cellmate stayed inside, reading his Bible. He also shared the gospel with Perez, who gave his life to the Lord.

Talk about second chances: He’s been out for eleven years now and is married with four children. He also has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Liberty University, specializing in addiction and recovery, as well as a master’s degree in professional counseling.

The abortion industry claims to be a protector and promoter of women’s rights. In reality, it’s anything but.

Abortion clinics prey upon women’s vulnerability, all under the guise of offering them a helping hand in their moment of need.

Take Planned Parenthood as an example. Though it’s legally a “nonprofit,” the nation’s leading abortion seller reaped an enormous revenue of $1.64 billion in FY 2020, netting a $69.7 million profit.

How does a nonprofit (that received $618.1 million in taxpayer dollars in FY 2020) net a nearly $70 million profit in one year?

For anyone who thinks Planned Parenthood isn’t in it for the money, that fact should instantly set off their internal alarm bells.

The organization claims that it provides “care and education to millions” and fights “for the rights of all people. No matter what.”

More like, if they get paid.

As the U.S. Supreme Court currently considers whether to overrule Roe v. Wade and grant states greater latitude to prohibit abortions, multiple states across the nation have passed various pro-life laws to protect preborn babies.

No one has not heard of an “LGBTQ person” or the “LGBTQ community.”

If either were a company, their global brand awareness would transcend Amazon, Facebook, Coco-Cola, and Starbucks combined. This is hardly an overstatement.

Douglas Murray, a British public intellectual and openly homosexual man, explains as much in his very important book, The Madness of Crowds,

“There is no other issue (let alone one affecting relatively few people) that has so swiftly reached the stage whereby whole pages of newspapers are devoted to its latest developments and there is never-ending demand not just to change the language [to support it], but to make up the science around it.”

It has become a public duty for everyone to at least pretend to be concerned about the well-being of all things “LGBTQ,” has it not? Politicians, business leaders, educators and media darlings speak of it in reverential tones, eager to genuflect before it in highly public ways.

But if we are to live in truth, we must appreciate that both the “LGBTQ person” and “LGBTQ community” are mere creative fictions. When people use those words, they are referring to an artificial ideological and socio-political concept that does not exist in any actual reality.
