To sell a virtually unabated abortion agenda, people are told abortion is necessary for instances in which the life of the mother is at risk. The need to terminate a child conceived by rape or incest is also cited.

(REAL TIMES MEDIA)—Every year around Valentine’s Day I’m always fascinated by the deluge of news stories and commercials about love, romance and dating.

Valentine’s Day, like most other holidays is overall a good idea, it’s an opportunity to share love with other people in your life, whether you have a special someone or not. One thing that does surprise me though, is that for all the talk of love and dating, there is fairly little public or commercial discussion of marriage during this time of year. Isn’t that what all of these cards, candies and flowers are hopefully going to lead to? It seems to me that while Americans are more obsessed than ever with finding and falling into true love, we are less interested than ever in actually getting married.

(NNPA)—Four years have passed since the death of Coretta Scott King on Jan. 30, 2006.

What greater time than now to commemorate her legacy by naming schools, federal and state office buildings and highways after her.  King’s activism before, during and after the death of her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. helped transform this nation, an accomplishment too important to be marginalized or forgotten.
