on being driven out
I am, admittedly, a baby in the pro-life movement. I’ve said it many times before. I am a Democrat. In this election I find I am faced with a choice between a man I find vile, reprehensible, and sketchy, and a man whose ideas are tarnished by his association with things I cannot support. It’s [...]
7 Quick Takes 15 (Scatterbrained like Woah Edition)
Brought to you by Jen at Conversion Diary, here’s my belated edition: 1. I’m terrible at keeping anything a secret. When I get Adam a present, I can barely contain myself, and 60% of the time wind up telling him what it is or giving it to him early. So I haven’t been writing as [...]
Um, I’m sorry, I’m unworldly, unattractive and unpleasant?
Guys, guys, you’ll never believe it. First, there was this CRAZY spike in my views the other day & I did a great imitation of the kangaroo in “Ze end of ze world,” popping my head from under the snow of nuclear winter & quipping, “WTF mate?” So I clicked a link or two & [...]
Off the Deep End
I’ve bumped our regularly scheduled Modesty Monday post to bring you an update that makes my heart thump in my ears, my chest tight, and generally all my fight-or-flight alarms to go off. I was offered a job – making less money – at a Crisis Pregnancy Center here in Tucson. And I took it. [...]

You’re doing it Wrong: 4 things about the Pro-Life movement that drove me away in the first place (and which still irritate me to no end)
You may have read a post I wrote about my struggles with the Pro-Life movement. I am confidently and firmly pro-life, but I am still not comfortable as part of the pro-life movement. I will write grants for crisis pregnancy centers, I’ll bring water bottles and sandwiches to the end of the Pro-Life march on [...]
How I became Pro-Life.
I went to Catholic school for my entire education. I’m proud of this, I am glad for it, but a negative byproduct of all that Catholicism is that I spent a HUGE portion of my life as a Protest Pawn for the Pro-Life movement. Dressed in peter-pan collars, plaid jumpers and knee socks, with my [...]
Active Participation vs. Helpless Victim
You may noticed that I’ve had quite a bug up my butt the last couple of days. As Inigo Montoya said in The Princess Bride: Let me ‘splain – – no, is too much, let me sum up One of the things that I love about our Church is that there is a place – [...]
Both And
I read this yesterday, and it made me smile. In case you’re anti link-clicking, it’s the story of a woman who, at 17 (in 1928) had a little girl and gave her the gift of life, giving her up for adoption. 77 years later, she got a call from her daughter, and they are now [...]
