Our Little Local Pro-Life Rally

January 22, 2014 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Cultural Commentary, Current Affairs, Minnesota Me, Prolife 10 Comments

Fifteen years ago & there you go...a positive pregnancy test on the Feast of St. Francis that filled this momma's heart with joy. We spent the day (it was a … [Read more...]

“Protect Your Heart”

April 29, 2013 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Blogging, Cultural Commentary, Current Affairs, Just Me, Minnesota Me, Prolife 10 Comments

That’s the counsel I was given this morning after emailing a dear friend in tears. (I was the one in tears, not my friend.) (I’m assuming.) (Still, what a buzz kill for her this morning!) That’s what I get, though, for watching hidden videos taken at abortion clinics. That’s what I get for clicking through on those links. My tears fell onto … [Read more...]

David and Goliath: the Cinematic Version

March 23, 2012 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Cultural Commentary, Minnesota Me, Prolife, Reviews 10 Comments

So what are the chances of a small, independently produced movie doing well on the same opening weekend as a massively marketed media darling?Let's just say that the odds are not exactly in its favor.October Baby is an excellent movie with unfortunate timing. For that reason I am asking you to wait before going to The Hunger Games--wait a few weeks … [Read more...]

The Fight for Life in Minnesota

May 31, 2011 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesohta, Minnesota Me, Prolife 31 Comments

Subtitled: A Person’s a Person… Last Wednesday, the kids and I attended a Day of Mourning at the future site of the new St. Paul abortuary. It is an enormous structure that takes up the entire block and, once it is built, will be the 3rd largest abortion provider in the U.S. In the words of Sarah Stoesz, the president and CEO of Planned … [Read more...]
