Thank you for standing for life, @RepChipRoy!

Who are we as a people if we cannot stand up in defense of the most innocent form of life there is — a child in the womb of its mother? That should be our calling. And we should be able to unite as human beings in defense of the defenseless.'" @WSHStand washingtonstand.com/article/…

“We need to be cautious in assessing [Islam's] compatibility with Western Civilization," warns @frcdc's @chrisgacek.

This is the cornerstone of the First Amendment.”
