After overcoming something life-threatening, I’m constantly in fear something can and will go wrong again. Every time I feel a twinge in my leg, I get scared. Every time I feel a shortness of breath, my heart races. I started taking birth control pills in January 2011.

by Murray Vasser | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 7/30/13 7:10 PM Washington, DC (LiveActionFilms) — One of the most shocking conversations I have experienced occurred on a train. I was in the lounge car, watching the sun rise as we glided through the gritty precincts of Los Angeles. Sitting next to me was a young man, about my age, who was an atheist. We had become entangled in a debate on religion, and I was pressing him to concede the reality of objective moral values. “Surely,” I argued, “You would admit that the Holocaust was truly evil.” “Well,” he responded, “You…
