Compassion House’s Susan George, house director, right, and Jennie Martin, social services director, organize the “baby barn” Dec. 13 at the facility. Compassion House is a home for pregnant girls.

Thank you Kim Souza for this fantastic article. But as I read it I kept thinking about the self-righteous anti-abortion people who are long on rhetoric and condemnation but fall short when putting up their hard earned cash to match their beliefs. If being pro-life is the new litmus test for determining who is a Christian I would think the pro-lifers would be lavishly funding hundreds of houses like this one. So, to all you pro-life evangelicals, here is your chance to put your money where your mouth is and send a check to Compassion House. BTW, my check is in the mail!!!!
