And the previous one, linking to Jen's article on Prolife Progressivism, was for a couple of days among the Most Popular Discussions on the site.

But given their history I won't trust them with my $8. I'll stick with donations to World Vision and Mercy Ships, organizations that don't get their hands dirty.
