|
|
|

We’re a steady, common sense voice for life on the air, in print and online, bringing a winsome pro-family perspective where it is too often absent or ignored. Michael Geer spoke to Fox 43 about the Allegheny abortion court case appeal:
"...this ...violates the conscience of many Pennsylvanians. It is wrong and it’s something that courts have ruled previously that there should not be taxpayer funding of abortion."
We’re grateful to PA’s Attorney General Dave Sunday for appealing the ruling! Watch Michael Geer’s comments, and click here to read the full Fox 43 news article.
