Come in car pools, vans and busses!  Please join West Virginians for Life in traveling to Charleston on Tuesday, February 11, for the annual Pro-Life Rally and Day at the Legislature.  The day’s events last from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. and include special music and a Prayer Walk through the Capitol following the main rally at noon.

He indicated that the best thing we can do for our children is to invest in early education (referring to pre-K schooling). Mr. Barrack …

Family Research Council released a report this week that gave valuable insight to those who want to understand the women in our culture who are most vulnerable to abortion industry pressures and what risk factors affect them.

The World Health Organization classified birth control pills with estrogen and progestin as a “Group One” carcinogen. “That’s the highest level that a cancer-causing drug can be listed as,” says Karen Malec of the Coalition on Abortion Breast Cancer.
