When international law gives way to impunity | Opinion
Brian Garrison lives in South Portland. For decades, the United States helped construct an international legal order meant to restrain power and protect civilians from the worst abuses of war. It emerged from the devastation of the 20th century and rested on a hard-earned lesson: when force goes unchecked, civilians suffer first and most. That system was never perfect. It was applied unevenly and sometimes ignored. But it existed, and it carried moral and legal weight.

Women Don’t Want Abortions
December 24, 2022 Women don’t want abortions. Why would a woman get pregnant knowing she might end up having an abortion? Certainly, some women get pregnant knowing there’s a chance they might have an abortion. But abortion advocates would have us believe that women routinely choose -- freely and without reservations -- to have an abortion when, in fact, most abortions are coerced. No one should be exploited or abused, including pregnant women.

The U.S. Declaration of Independence states that all men [people] are created equal and that we all are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, primarily the right to life. Endowment of all rights begin at conception (a.k.a. creation). In 1973, the Supreme Court contradicted the Declaration and decreed that murder (abortion, which is intentional killing of a defenseless young person) was a right.

Infant Adoption Advertising Needed
Home & Family / Politics Written By: Brian Garrison For more than fifty years, pro-lifers and others have been trying to end abortion, or at least to reduce the abortion rate dramatically. Pro-life organizations have saved millions of lives and have helped millions of women, yet the abortion rate remains abhorrently high. It is possible to radically reduce the abortion rate. Women choose abortion because they believe they have only two options: (1) Give birth and raise a child or (2) abort.
Are you fed up with your kids' education?
Are you unhappy with your children's K–12 education? Do you believe that your children are subjected to indoctrination? If you answered yes to either question, there are alternative educational options worth considering.
