Recently Planned Parenthood in Indiana started selling gift certificates for services at their centers.  The organization is touting the self proclaimed “unusual” gift this way on it’s website:
Nearly 800,000 Hoosiers don’t have health insurance and can’t afford basic health services. Why not buy a loved one a gift this holiday season that they really need [...]

Is anyone else confused by the fact that “Twilight” has been adopted by champions of abstinence?

Out of Ur recently came across a pamphlet advocating castration. They had this to say:
Apart from wrestling with the best way to handle the growing epidemic of sexual immorality within the church, Mr. Cheney’s pamphlet should make us stop and think once again about the ramifications of our hermeneutical approach to Scripture.
