A billboard in front of Living Way Ministries in Opelika is making news for its rather odd comparison. “They falsely accused Jesus,” the sign read. “Vote Roy Moore.” Several members of the congregation have keys to the sign, church officials told WHNT News 19. After it was left up for an unknown length […]

  This coming July, we will mark the 50th anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s deeply controversial encyclical letter Humanae vitae. I won’t bore you with the details of the innumerable battles, disagreements, and ecclesial crises that followed upon this text. Suffice it to say that this short, pithily argued letter became a watershed in the […]

Pro-life candidates in the Alabama Democratic Party have long been on the political equivalent of the threatened species list. Abortion rights extremists have hunted them mercilessly, their numbers have dropped precipitously, and their once vast territory has shrunk to a few measly electoral acres on the outskirts of their party. But has the nomination of […]

  Remember that adage about not putting all of your eggs in one basket? That has happened to the anti-abortion movement. All of our votes are in the Republican Party’s basket. So too are the lives of millions of unborn babies, all depending upon the unpredictable success of a single political party, and at times […]

    Doug Jones would likely swamp Roy Moore in next month’s special election if the Democrat didn’t hold such extreme pro-abortion views. Consider this: — Nearly 60 percent of adults in Alabama believe that abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center. They found […]

    Every fall I tell myself not to get too emotional about Alabama football. “It’s just a bunch of guys I don’t know, who are going to a school that I didn’t attend, who are playing a game with a ball, a game that I have no control over, and whose result doesn’t have […]

    Today we observe Thanksgiving. People across the country are gathered with family and friends, to once again eat and acknowledge the blessings bestowed upon us. Most likely, or hopefully so, the majority of these feasts of gratitude will begin with a short prayer, a moment of grace, acknowledging that the gifts are given […]

  As Alabamians gather today to watch football and feast on fried turkey, we should also remember the words written by President George Washington in his proclamation establishing “a day of public thanksgiving and prayer” in 1789 that eventually became known as Thanksgiving Day. “It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence […]

    Jean Twenge’s book iGen is one of the most fascinating—and depressing—texts I’ve read in the past decade. A professor of psychology at San Diego State University, Dr. Twenge has been, for years, studying trends among young Americans, and her most recent book focuses on the generation born between 1995 and 2012. Since this […]

      Shaun Alexander, the former University of Alabama star running back and the NFL’s 2005 MVP, spoke out this week in support of a bill to establish a parental rights amendment to the U.S. Constitution. “I am amazed at how much authority the courts have over parents’ rights today,” said Alexander, who is […]

From the Founding until today, one of our country’s distinguishing marks has been its constitutional provisions both preventing legal establishment of religion and allowing for its free practice. These freedoms are deeply held, but present all kinds of constitutional challenges as we have seen with same-sex marriage, abortion, and the recent controversy wherein the Supreme Court […]

    Alabama’s motto is “We dare defend our rights,” and judging by the number of people packing heat across our state, we’re more than ready to back that up. A recent study from the Crime Prevention Research Center indicates that Alabama has the nation’s highest concentration of concealed weapon permits. The study found that […]

Depending on who you are, the Protestant Reformation’s quincentennial is of varying significance. Some celebrate while others lament, but as Mobile’s Archbishop Thomas Rodi argues, the anniversary presents all Christians with a unique opportunity. “This 500 anniversary is an opportunity to reflect back,” Archbishop Rodi said in an interview with Yellowhammer News, “because increasingly we […]

  I was straightening the house recently and picked up my oldest son’s favorite magazine off the living room floor. Memories of my own boyhood subscription brought a smile, but then I wondered, “Am I holding one of the last copies of Boys Life?” The culturally leftward trajectory of the Boy Scouts of America’s national […]

    My first thought after reading the Washington Post’s story alleging that Roy Moore preyed upon teenaged girls was … this sounds believable. Why would a woman, multiple women, in fact, fabricate such a story? The thought of electing such a man to the U.S. Senate from Alabama made me sick to my stomach. […]

Yellowhammer Films has released its latest project, a touching look at one Alabama couple’s two-year journey to adopt their daughter from Ethiopia.
