It is a sad moment in history when a government calls upon a lone woman to testify about contraception and attempts to tell the country she is representative of women.

A group of immensely wealthy individuals pledge to give at least half of their money to the needy. It’s an incredible gift of generosity. Yet what if these monetary gifts hurt more than they help? What if the money goes to services that destroy families and kill babies? Our country is in a sad state of affairs when we must worry about philanthropy like this.
