Correction: A previous version of this article mistakenly referred to K.C. Saunders as the County Administrator. He is, in fact, the Budget Director for Lorain County. The correction applies to Part 3, paragraph 3; Part 4, paragraph 1 & 4; and Part 5, paragraph 4 of the published story.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I keep waiting for the moral shift against abortion. If more people see what a late-term abortion looks like they'd be mortified and horrified. I think the fact people don't see it helps shape their perception of abortion being the killing of a 'clump of cells'.I forget where I read it but apparently new technology can show the painful cries of the fetus as it's being aborted. At the very least, we need to stop celebrating abortion as if it's a noble right to choose. It's beyond that at this po…

The "clump of cells" argument is particularly dangerous because the same description may be fairly applied to the adult human without modification or exception.

The sublime inference behind that argument is that one person is equipped to adjudicate the humanity of another. That one person is competent to adjudicate the personhood of another.

I cannot imagine a more terrifying prospect than someone else deciding whether or not I am even human.

Better pray that sort of person isn't a sociopath or psychopath. Or just plain stupid.

Happy Birthday E! This little angel turns 1 today.

We are merely caretakers of our children’s and grandchildren’s future. The choices we make today will directly shape the world they will face one day.

This grandma is praying Canada shows up tomorrow to ensure both she, and all of Canada’s children, can have the future they deserve.

All I can say is that those that voted Liberal in the Canadian federal election have now set Canada down it's final path. There is no coming back from where we are headed. If you think this is an exaggeration, just wait and watch.

There is no such thing as ‘controlled freedom’. Control and freedom cannot simultaneously coexist.

Freedom cannot be controlled.

That’s called totalitarianism.
