Too good not to share. You can fill out the complaint form after watching this.   H/T to D. Bachert

Birth rate in England and Wales hits 80-YEAR low. Dentists facing massive unemployment.

Global warming to blame. Birth rates have hit a historic low amid falling fertility rates, an ageing population and increasing numbers of women leaving it until later in life to have children.

Does God Remember?

I’ve been practicing law in metro Atlanta, Georgia for more than two decades.  One of the things that I incorporate into my practice is to set aside time to do pro bono (i.e., free; my children call it pro-bonehead) legal work. A couple of months ago I found out about a criminal case. It was …

Planned Parenthood, funding, and missing the point.

Undercover videos, Congressional hearings, Planned Parenthood talking heads (most of whom seem to be employed by CNN).  No wonder so many have been so distracted and so disturbed at the same time. The Center for Medical Progress has done a masterful job.  They did their homework and executed, as far as I can tell, near …
