Alicia and Dawn Eden have both blogged about Prevention’s little screed attacking the growing number of doctors, pharmacists, and other health professionals who, disgusted at the idea of participating in silent abortions, are declining to prescribe, or fill prescriptions for, the Pill. Kevin Miller points out that the Pill is far from being the silver… Continue reading I’m so disappointed in Prevention magazine
TSM Book find
I received a note from a reader wondering if I knew where to locate a copy of Fr William Virtue’s Mother and Infant, a primary text for Catholic AP types. I do not. And now I want a copy too.

I can’t stand whiners, weaklings, schlemiels or schlemozzles. I don’t make many jokes, but when I do, others laugh out loud. They must. People often turn to you… Continue reading Who knew?
