By DEXTER DUGGAN Heartbeat International, a global pregnancy-help organization claiming more than 2,800 affiliates (heartbeatinternational.org), told The Wanderer that the left-wing “openDemocracy” project used up some of the pro-lifers’ time that could have been spent helping women in need, but was unsuccessful in its aim.Recent articles from openDemocracy (opendemocracy.net) focused on one of the services offered by Heartbeat International, abortion-pill reversal, expressing the usual contempt for trying to save babies targeted for chemical abortion and quoting pro-abortion sources and medical organizations compromised by the Culture of Death.A March 24 news release from Heartbeat International said, “An irregular increase in international calls to the Abortion Pill Rescue® Network (APRN) recently signaled another orchestrated offensive by the abortion lobby targeting pregnancy help.…Continue Reading

By JUDGE ANDREW P. NAPOLITANO That God, which ever lives and loves,One God, one law, one element,And one far-off divine eventTo which the whole creation moves. — Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) When American colonists were oppressed by governance from Britain, the word most frequently uttered in pamphlets and editorials and sermons was not “safety” or “taxes”; it was “freedom.” Yet, two intolerable acts of Parliament so assaulted personal freedom that they broke the bonds with the mother country irreparably.The first was the Stamp Act of 1765, which required colonists to have government stamps on all documents in every household. It was enforced by British soldiers who used general warrants, issued by a secret court in London, to rummage through colonists’…Continue Reading

Carrying The Weight Of The World

April 4, 2021 Featured Today Comments Off on Carrying The Weight Of The World

By DONALD DeMARCO I have given several presentations over the years to all-male audiences on the topic of fatherhood. There are few topics that are more important in a time when fatherhood is either neglected, misunderstood, or disparaged.Sociologist David Blankenhorn has thoroughly researched the matter in his book, Fatherless America: Confronting Our Most Urgent Social Problem. The fact that 40 percent of America’s children do not live with their biological fathers, he concludes, is the leading cause of crime, adolescent pregnancy, child sexual abuse, and domestic violence against women.Fatherhood is essential for teaching children discipline and preparing them for taking a responsible position in the world. Yet, it does not receive the attention and respect it deserves. As a consequence,…Continue Reading

He doesn’t have a democratic — with a small ‘d’ — bone in his body,” said Joe Biden in his first press conference as president, and then he ambled on:“He’s one of the guys, like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, who thinks that autocracy is the wave of the future — democracy can’t function in an ever-complex world.“It is clear, absolutely clear . . . that this is a battle between the utility of democracies in the twenty-first century and autocracies. . . . We have to prove democracy works.”Thus did Biden frame the conflict between America and China in almost purely ideological terms.“Look . .…Continue Reading

April 2, 2021 Featured Today Comments Off on Leno Apologizes To Asians But Not Catholics

By BILL DONOHUE (Editor’s Note: Catholic League President Bill Donohue commented at catholicleague.org on Jay Leno’s insensitivity to Catholic concerns.) + + Longtime NBC Tonight Show comedian Jay Leno has come out of retirement to apologize to Asian Americans for the bigoted jokes he told about them while hosting the late-night show. Will Catholics be next to receive an apology? Not a chance. The culture is too anti-Catholic to induce Leno to do so.From 1997 to 2015, I wrote well over a dozen news releases taking Leno to task for insulting Catholics; I only addressed his most offensive remarks. For example, our files show that in one time period alone, from April 1996 to January 2012, we recorded 37 jokes…Continue Reading
