The LGBT movement wants to stand between parents and their children
By Jonathon Van Maren LGBT activism generally has two steps.

Quebec’s Health Minister wants doctors to do more late-term abortions–even though an abortionist admitted the procedures kill children
By Jonathon Van Maren It cannot be pointed out often enough: Canada is the one of the only nations on Earth with no restrictions on abortion whatsoever.
