Abortion in the Movies
Only a few years ago, the film industry was strongly pro-abortion. Now, a sea change may be underway. Pro-life films have begun to hit the screen, and they are being honored. Of course, this may prompt a backlash from abortion advocates, who may redouble their efforts to legitimize and even romanticize the taking of unborn life.

People scattered, no one was trampled, and in a few minutes the situation was brought under control. Speaking later to some local residents, Wesley was shocked to learn who the old wobbly drunk was: a clergyman from a neighboring parish church!1 (more…)
