Forty-five years ago this week, the greatest country this planet has ever seen ushered in a new era for future generations. An era that would bring about destruction to women, men, the unborn, and families. I realize that my description is aggressive, but Roe v. Wade was an aggressive court case that we continue to [...]
There has been a great deal of discussion in recent weeks concerning Planned Parenthood’s most recent Annual Report. This report, when taken in its proper context, gives us a glimpse into the decline of one the largest abortion clinics in this country. I realize this may seem a bit far-fetched to anyone that frequents a [...]
I am continuing my Advent study this week with Paul David Tripp’s latest book, “Come Let Us Adore Him.” I realize that I cited some of his work in last week’s post, but I couldn’t help but go back to him again this week as we look to the hope set before us. This season [...]
The Christmas story clearly shows that the hope of the universe is a person. Hope was what the angels sang about. Hope lay in the manger. Hope caused Mary to wonder in her heart. It was hope the shepherds came to worship. Hope was presented with gifts from the Magi who had traveled so far. [...]
A few weeks ago, with the help of Amanda May Photography, we were able to provide maternity photo sessions for our patients. We took them to UT Gardens here in Knoxville and pampered them for a few hours. Why do this? What does this have to do with being a medical clinic? What does this [...]
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a very crucial case concerning the First Amendment and a pregnancy center’s right to operate within their values and convictions. This is a big day for the pro-life movement and one of its largest umbrella organizations, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) as we have an [...]
This week we learned of a new tax plan being put forth in Washington by the majority party. There will be a host of stories written discussing the ins and outs and the pros and cons. I have strong opinions when it comes to taxes, but I do not desire, with my musings today, to [...]
I am often asked about resources available to those that wish to be a part of the life-movement. I find reading to be a useful tool in our work as life advocates. We can debate, argue, or scream our viewpoints all day long, but if our viewpoints are not sculpted through research and scholarship, then [...]
Last week we invited volunteers back to HOPE to celebrate 20 years of service in Knoxville. We made gift bags, provided cookies and cake, and offered tours of the building for those that hadn’t visited in a while. The impact HOPE has had on over 25,000 patients would never have happened without the countless sacrificial [...]
On October 3rd the House passed a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. A similar bill passed in 2015, but this year’s passing seems a bit different. I don’t pretend to know if the Senate will follow in line, but I believe we are closer than ever at seeing a true [...]
