After getting sick during a mission trip to the Philippines, Pam Tebow  ignored a recommendation by doctors to abort her fifth child. She later gave birth to Tim Tebow, who won the 2007 Heisman Trophy and helped his Florida team win two BCS championships.

The controversy is whether an ad, funded by Focus on the Family, should be allowed to play during the Super Bowl. Should she get the chance to share her story?

Is religion the only thing that makes people pause, when you open yourself on Facebook?

"Posting my online status as 'is walking in the March for Life' is certainly not outside the pale: yesterday a friend informed the world that he was 'eating a Dorito.' If he can do that, then I can certainly announce 'Jesuit physician affirms life begins at conception."

Organizers of a musical cabaret are hoping to raise funds for Greensboro teens to join others around the world for the March of the Living in Poland and Israel. The March of the Living commemorates Holocaust Memorial Day.
The fundraiser is 7:30 p.m. Saturday (Jan. 9)  at Temple Emanuel, 1129 Jefferson Road, Greensboro.
Tickets are pay at the door: $10 for students, $18 for seniors and $25 for adults. Desserts and beverages provided.
The goal of the two week trip, according to fundraiser organizers, is for young Jews to learn the lessons of the Holocaust and to lead the Jewish people into the future, vowing “Never Again.”

"Last March, three American evangelical Christians, whose teachings about “curing” homosexuals have been widely discredited in the United States, arrived here in Uganda’s capital to give a series of talks...

"Now the three Americans are finding themselves on the defensive, saying they had no intention of helping stoke the kind of anger that could lead to what came next: a bill to impose a death sentence for homosexual behavior."

"Benedict XVI’s decree of heroic virtue on behalf of  Pius XII may serve the Church," says Deborah Dwork,  Rose Professor of Holocaust History and Director of the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. "But it does not serve history.  Indeed: it is a denial of history.  And it is an act of aggression against the Jewish people."

Conservative commentators are defending Brit Hume's "message" to Tiger Woods - who Hume mentioned is "said to be a Buddhist" - to "turn to the Christian faith, and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world."
