Capitol Hill Brief — History of Community Health Centers

  The founding of Planned Parenthood vs. Community Health Centers couldn’t be more different. Planned Parenthood was founded under the philosophy that the only way to help the poor was to stop them from reproducing.  It’s this offensive attitude that lead to Planned Parenthood becoming the largest abortion provider in America. By contrast, Community Health […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Religion and Abortion

  I have some hard news.  Thirty-seven percent of women obtaining abortions identified as evangelical or Catholic.

This is a […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Planned Parenthood Services

  What does Planned Parenthood actually do? Mammograms? Nope. What about prenatal care? Actually, only 8% of their clinics do that.

In fact Planned Parenthood only does about 1% of the nation’s pap […]

What a Trip to the Grocery Store Taught Me About Israel

Don’t Let Them Win

Capitol Hill Brief — Every Beating Heart

  I remember hearing the heartbeat of my own children for the first time. [Heartbeat audio] Did you know that we can detect a child’s heartbeat beginning at 21 days?

Capitol Hill Brief — Marriage, Morality, and Sexuality

  Some of the most difficult subjects for us to engage in these days have to do with marriage, morality, and sexuality.  I know it’s not easy to stand for truth in hostile environments. I have the scars of many CNN interviews to prove it. But there’s much we can do to alleviate some of […]
