  • Abortion & Civil Rights

    How does the Texas Abortion Law Violate the Constitution? 1st Amendment The Texas Law imposes the religious beliefs of Christian Conservatives onto people who may be atheists, agnostics, or members of more tolerant churches.

  • Can the Catholic Church ‘Evolve’ on L.G.B.T. Rights?

    From New York Times A growing number of Americans now broadly support equal rights for gay, lesbian, and transgender people. It’s tempting to view this as inevitable, but less than a decade ago, many Democrats, including Barack Obama, didn’t even publicly support same-sex marriage. The speed at which L.G.B.T. rights became a mainstream issue, including…

  • Trans Conversion Debunked

    Rebuttal to: The dangerous ‘science’ behind gender transitioning This “Research” is incredibly shady. No references,  no description of how many respondents, how respondents were selected,  or even whether the respondents were actually transgender people.  The Kinsey report shocked the world because Kinsey researched not only people’s activities but also their desires and fantasies.   He discovered that 10% of…
