Autumn Doersching | April 7, 2021
The protection of free speech is a cornerstone of American freedom. The free exchange of viewpoints, ideas, and philosophies is integral to maintaining a democratic republic. America is not alone in being a country that touts freedom of speech. Canada also includes “the freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression” in the Canadian Charter for Rights and Freedoms. So why

You suspect that one of the big cigarette companies has found a way to illegally market to minors, so you go undercover and catch tobacco executives on film admitting to the crime. They are a powerful legal machine, so

Brenna Lewis | March 17, 2021
Each fall and spring, a 40 Days for Life Campaign takes place in cities across America. During this campaign, pro-life advocates visit the sidewalks outside of abortion facilities, either to engage in sidewalk advocacy or simply provide a loving presence.
