After the news broke earlier today that Jason Collins has come out as the first openly gay player in the NBA, I didn’t really plan to comment. But that all changed after watching Chris Broussard’s commentary for ESPN (see above).

So you think Kermit Gosnell is a one-off?
I have noticed that many abortion advocates have been acting as if the atrocities of Kermit Gosnell are a one-off anomaly—as if there are no other late term abortionists in the United States who have to deal with infants born alive. Nothing could be further from the truth. Live Action has produced a couple undercover videos showing how routine both late-term abortions are. The videos also show that late-term abortionists everywhere have to deal with infants who survive abortions.

The Jets release Tim Tebow. Will he make a team?
The news is out. The Jets have decided to release Tim Tebow. Moreover, it’s entirely possible that he won’t make any team’s roster this year—at least not as quarterback. For a lot of reasons, I think this is really sad.

The report above is about a gym teacher in Ohio who lost her teaching position after it became known that she was a lesbian. She had been teaching at a Catholic high school for 19 years, but when the administration found out that she was in violation of the morality provision in her contract, they let her go.

Unmasking Pres. Obama’s Euphemisms to Planned Parenthood
On Friday, President Obama became the first sitting President to give an address to Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider. It’s doctors kill over 300,000 unborn children every year.

NY Times Inaccurately Reports on the Gosnell Trial
The New York Times has an astonishingly inaccurate report on the Kermit Gosnell trial. The inaccuracy begins right up front in the lede: A Pennsylvania judge on Tuesday threw out three of seven murder charges against a Philadelphia doctor charged with killing viable fetuses while performing abortions. In spite of this report, Kermit Gosnell is emphatically not on trial for “killing viable fetuses while performing abortions.” Unfortunately, it’s actually legal in the United States under Roe v. Wade to kill viable fetuses during an abortion. That is not why Kermit Gosnell is on trial.

Judge drops 3 of the 8 murder charges against Gosnell
From NBC Philadelphia: It took the prosecution five weeks to present their case against West Philly abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell and it took defense attorney Jack McMahon a couple of hours to knock a big hole through a critical part of their argument. Three first-degree murder charges were dropped against Gosnell after McMahon argued that “there is not one piece…of objective, scientific evidence that anyone was born alive” at Gosnell’s clinic.

A Legacy of Purity from a Late Father
Grant Castleberry is one of the editors at the new CBMW website. He has written a short article that is a must-read in my view. Grant’s father passed away when Grant was a very small boy. Nevertheless, his father left behind a legacy of faithfulness that still impacts Grant to this day. Grant writes: It was late in the afternoon of September 23, 1986. I was just two years old, and my dad had just taken off on a routine training exercise in his F-4 Phantom Marine Corps fighter jet. He was flying over the Atlantic Ocean, not far from our home in Beaufort, South Carolina, when his F-4 crashed…
