A dying culture

Transgender insanity and abortion

Abortion in Jesus’ name

John, Planned Parenthood just announced the new members of its clergy advisory board. You read that right. Planned Parenthood has assembled a board of pro-abortion pastors to justify killing unborn children. It's a publicity stunt--and a telli…
