Conservatives Cannot Be Ideologically Dependent on the Left: An Interview with Fr. Matthieu Raffray

Left-wing activists hate us no matter what we do or say. They want us gone. We must therefore stop trying to please our enemies. Not only is it useless, but this attitude leads us to compromise and the loss of our principles.

French Senate Votes To Enshrine ‘Freedom’ To Abort in Constitution

The compromised wording passed by the senators at least has the merit of refusing to set in stone any ‘right’ to abortion. But another fundamental freedom must be preserved, the freedom of conscience of practitioners to carry out an abortion or not.

Conservatives Should Not Support the Romeo and Juliet Lawsuit
