Right to Life Association (Margaret Tighe), RTLA News, Nov. 2007, 1, re asking major party candidates about their views on abortion, voluntary euthanasia etc.:

Don’t allow them to avoid a proper response as to how they would vote [on these issues] if elected to Parliament. For example, some might say – ‘Oh, I’m a Christian’, or ‘I go to church’ or ‘I’d really need to look at the legislation first’.

[What a great idea, Margaret. Making MPs vote on laws they've never seen. It'd save so much time.]

‘Researchers find sexual orientation can change’, Family World News (Rev. Fred Nile), Nov. 2007, 11:

C. S. Lewis said that science produced by Christians would have to be ‘perfectly honest. Science twisted in the interests of apologetics would be sin and folly.’
