Slaughter

As I was reading your editorial of Feb 19, stating that abortion is no place for government, I couldn't help but be concerned about the issue of human life. As Pope John Paul II said, "A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope." It is a very serious issue whenever a child is concerned.

Weak science

Many in the man-made global-warming climate-change crowd like to claim that there is a consensus and that "the debate is over." Since their arguments are based primarily on emotion instead of science, they use ad hominem attacks against anyone who dares contradict their ill-founded belief. The science behind man-made global warming was never strong and continually grows weaker.… 0

Colorado refuses money for abstintence programs

Colorado officials this year are rejecting nearly $500,000 from the federal government for programs that teach "abstinence-only" sex education, saying the teaching tactic is ineffective when it comes to preventing teen pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
