Brian starts by examining policy implications of the top two primary system in elections. California is one of a handful of states that have adopted this system that ignores party affiliations. Elections matter because elected representatives make policy. Policies matter. Laws matter. Laws are merely ideas that are enforced. If you are not paying attention to the world of ideas then you are going...

Brian explains one of the more subtle and seductive 'ideas' that has wormed its way into contemporary thought: Eugenics.   He gives a quick background to its origins and to the common misunderstanding that eugenics, as a cultural value, was somehow eradicated through the defeat of Nazi Germany. But before the 'deep dive' and interview with some folks from Iceland, where the gene pool has been 'cle...

It's a battle out there. You know that. That doesn't mean you should hide or avoid the battle.

As a citizen it is your responsibility, and substituting emotional feeling-stuff instead of speak...

Under Ireland's 8th Amendment, the laws of that country re-enforce the legal right to life for all vulnerable human beings, particularly those in the womb.   But on May 25th, 2018, a national plebiscite will be held. It is being pushed by all of the pol...

J ohn W i l lke and his wife B arbara were significant in publishing a handbook on abortion and abortion questions and answers; two books that went into multiple editions around the world and provided the pro-life movement with clear and concise facts as to what really happens in abortion and the cost to both lives and cultural values.

This is an important update on Senate Bill 320.  Senate Bill 320 would mandated that in California state colleges and universities young women be given RU486 the abortifacient drug. This is not a morning after pill.  This drug is only taken when the woman knows that she's pregnant and the child is well along. It attacks woman's body first by preventing it from giving any more nutrition to that chi...

In 1973, the laws of all 50 states were overturned; laws that had protected the children in the womb, laws that carefully outlined what a doctor should and should not do. The impact of that decision has been incredible. The significance for your culture, the significance to the right to life, is quite extraordinary and unless you look at it you won't understand the dramatic changes that have faced...

What were abortion laws before Roe v Wade? Where did they come from? Science and the law. Dr. Horatio Storer defended life as a fact-asserting advocate. British Common Law protected children after quickening because that was the most advanced and conferrable science. " Homunculus ." With the advancement in scientific medicine conception was confirmed as the start of human life when mammalian conce...

Today we are talking about an insidious drug - RU486. We're not talking about the morning after pill. The morning after pill has been marketed as kind of a backup contraception. It can be an abortifacient if conception has taken place, but primarily the morning after pill is designed to prevent conception so it's only taken when sex has already happened or shortly thereafter. RU486 is NOT contrace...

The goal of assisted suicide is to legalize euthanasia.  Assisted suicide is really a form of voluntary euthanasia.  The problem is, not all the people that advocates think should have the benefit of euthanasia will volunteer. So these "advocates" want to make sure that those folks who just can't bring themselves to make the decision, or maybe aren't "smart" enough to know their own suffering, or...

Years ago I used to counsel in front of an abortion clinic in Santa Rosa, California.  That clinic is gone now, but at that time, a young woman and I would prayerfully talk to those that were coming in.  She would talk to the young ladies and if there was a gentleman, I would talk to him.  Numerous times that guy did not want to talk, he would in fact, push or punch me.  It takes a lot of self-con...

On January 22nd of each year, we mark the anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade decision.  But that decision can't be understood unless you also read the companion Doe v. Bolton decision.  It came down the same day and was designed to work in tandem with Roe.  It declared that we don't know when life begins and gives no recognition to the child in the womb.  Doe v. Bolton goes much further and exp...

In January of 1973 the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions overturned every abortion regulation in every state of the United States.

He is the Founder of Modern Gynecology. He campaigned to pass...
