A Conservative MP backed by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada would like to take a closer look at the contents of your womb.

A gay rights activist has been beaten to death in Uganda in what’s being called a hate crime. David Kato “was one of the most visible defenders of gay rights” and had his picture on the front page of an anti-gay newspaper under the title “Hang Them” about four months ago. It’s no wonder he ...

Regardless of your sexual orientation, the TSA’s “pat down, feel up” security checks are invasive and uncomfortable. And giving the pat down must feel just as awkward.

The most recent argument against Marie Stopes sexual health charity is that they offer free abortions to their employees and families. But so what? Yes, they do provide free abortions. But the reason for this is because ”team members, their partners and dependants will be able to access MSI’s [Marie Stopes International] core services…without charge.” Abortion ...

In America, anti-abortion advocates must be celebrating in the streets. Eleven states have passed laws this year restricting abortion and 370 state bills are under consideration.
