How one Christ follower decided to vote for Ron Paul, Part 3: Abortion

To catch up on this series you can read the first part, and the second part. When writing on the subject of abortion, I somehow feel it necessary to defend myself before I even get started.

Writers Alan Judd and Nancy Badertscher chronicle the out of control relationship that some state representatives and senators have with lobbyists in the state: If members of the Georgia General Assembly get hungry, a lobbyist will...
