By: Alan Eason|Published Date: February 08, 2012 We are very excited about all the great commenting that goes on The BreakPoint blog. It is growing and more people are getting engaged. Only one hitch -- it is pretty much "among Christians." I'd like to invite you (even those have not commented here yet) to go out to the front lines with us -- to the Colson Center YouTube channel. Click below to find out why.

Here's Steyn's take on the Komen debacle and other noteworthy matters, namely religious freedom. In case you don't know, Steyn has felt the wrath of "tolerance." He was tried for intolerance by Canada's Human Rights Tribunals.

See him pictured here, making President Obama laugh. But after the jokes, Eric gently spoke truth to power regarding abortion, just as Mother Teresa did some years ago when she spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast. You can watch Eric's 30-minute talk by clicking here. Rating: 0.00 It's Not Just about HealthcareBy: Kim Moreland|Published Date: February 08, 2012
Have we taken religious liberty for granted? In universities and school campuses across the country, Christians are having their rights taken away.
Here's a case that opened the door to abusing Christians: Christian Legal Society vs. Vanderbilt.
In another case, a 15-year-old Wisconsin student was threatened and verbally abused by school superintendent of Shawano High School for writing an op-ed in opposion to gay adoption. Ironically, the article was a school assignment. Rating: 0.00 By: Dennis Babish|Published Date: February 07, 2012
Five or six years ago Focus on the Family released “The Truth Project” DVD series, and I went through it as a discussion leader of a small group. I haven’t looked at it since, so when a friend of mine said a group was going to go through it and invited me, I agreed. I thought it would be good to refresh what I learned from the DVDs and maybe learn some new things I missed the last time.

Sadly, after getting their foot in the proverbial door, the advocates continually redefine the criteria for which people " request," voluntarily or involuntarily, suicide.

Rating: 0.00 By: Ginny Mooney|Published Date: February 06, 2012 I wear pink socks. I have a pink visor with a pink ribbon. I’ve had two cousins with breast cancer saved by early detection. I support the tremendous work The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation is doing to raise awareness of breast cancer, increase early detection, and help reduce mortality rates form the disease. Yet I believe Komen should reverse its recent "reversal" and stop funding Planned Parenthood -- even though its support is earmarked for breast cancer education, screenings, and mammogram referrals.

The movie tells the story of a college student who belatedly learns that she was adopted -- and that she's a survivor of abortion. Give them credit: That's a perspective that I believe has very rarely been shown on film before.

Rating: 0.00 By: Gina Dalfonzo|Published Date: February 03, 2012 Holy cow, that was fast! Given everything they've just said about PP, I wonder how they can possibly justify this reversal. Rating: 0.00 By: Gina Dalfonzo|Published Date: February 03, 2012 The Susan G. Komen Foundation's decision to defund Planned Parenthood has erupted into a firestorm. Komen officials have quit, donations to both organizations have gone up, and the media is full of controversial statements and opinions from all sides. The Washington Post, National Review Online, and LifeSiteNews all cover the situation today. All this has exposed a lot of facts that had been glossed over or ignored before. It's quite something when you see the founder of Komen stating on the front page of the Washington Post that Planned Parenthood does not do mammograms, only referrals.
