Even today, 15 years after his death on what would be his 104th birthday, the Gipper casts a long shadow over his successors in both parties, and those who wish to succeed him in his own.

This Ronald Reagan story is eerily close to Paul LePage’s real life ‘abortion’ experience (Video)
September 15, 2014 By
AUGUSTA, ME, September 15, 2014 (TheRightsWriter.com) – Can you bear one more Reagan pro-life story? Maine Governor Paul LePage told a haunting personal story last week about how his father physically abused his pregnant mother until she lost their child.

Can pictures of aborted children help end abortion?
November 27, 2013 By

Abortionists perpetrate unspeakable crimes against unborn children, but some believe it is those who display pictures of their handiwork who are the real extremists. At times, even those in the pro-life movement have accused those who use “graphic images” of “extremism.” Do such images help or hurt the cause?

Davis said she never … [Read more...]
