  1. Hi,
    I believe that I may have communicated with you before. I want to say that I am so grateful for pro-life information that does not have religious content. Though I am a believer, I seek info that has scientific or historical content. I distribute articles in public places such as parking lots, cafes and department stores. I have a son with pro-life sympathies, who nevertheless, deletes important articles from ‘Life Site News’ and ‘Life News’ because of their “Republican bias”.
