I recently came across an article tweeted out by Planned Parenthood’s Political Action Committee. This PAC didn’t see the irony, or maybe they did, in lifting this quote: “Playing politics with abortion is playing with women’s lives…” Notice that the “playing politics” line is coming from a group that was built and formed to, well, [...]
The cause of life and abortion will be the defining issue of my generation…the millennial generation. In the past year we have seen a number of videos detailing the devastating truth of abortion. This devastating truth only confirms our need to stand. We will stand with grace, love, and conviction. We will open our doors [...]
The term, “wanted,” is often associated with the FBI’s most wanted list or an old western photography studio in Pigeon Forge. This term, though, means much more than that. When we see our society through a Biblical worldview, we are forced to come to grips with our own value and the value of others. Are [...]
I recently finished a book that many recommended to me once I started serving at HOPE. This book, Whatever Happened to the Human Race?, was written in the 70s by Francis Schaeffer. Schaeffer’s work in the pro-life arena was rightly celebrated in the 70s and 80s, but his impact continues today. I am not going [...]
The past few weeks at HOPE have been difficult as some of our patients have been faced with the news of death and miscarriage. This isn’t typically discussed in the pro-life clinic world, but this is a truth we must deal with. Some patients desire their child to be born, but they lose their child [...]
This past weekend my wife and I hosted my brothers and their families for a celebration of birthdays and America’s independence. The relationship I have with my brothers is a special one, and I welcomed the opportunity to have them in our home. My goal with today’s post is not to discuss my relationship with [...]
The Supreme Court of the United States ruled today on a Texas law that was passed in 2013. You can follow the previous link to read the entire piece of legislation, but the court ruling today mainly dealt with admitting privileges of abortion doctors and the hospital-like standards that these facilities should be required to [...]
“My favorite Summer.” This is a phrase I say to my daughter on a daily basis. Her response without prodding from me is, “My favorite daddy.” The first time I heard her say those words I nearly lost it. This seems silly, but these words are valuable. These words of affection and affirmation are meant [...]
The senseless attack on innocent people this past weekend has captured the minds, hearts, and discussions of the American people. This isn’t the first time we have seen an attack on our soil and, sadly, this will probably not be the last. A coward has once again decided to force parents, siblings, and friends to [...]
Dear Mr. Turner, You don’t know me and probably don’t care to know me, but I have been watching the case involving your family and I felt the need to write to you. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I am sure this case has absolutely rocked your family and altered all you [...]
