Nebraska heats this topic up again. Embarrassed about being the late-term abortion capital of the United States, Nebraska changed the law: Can an unborn child feel pain? That question will dominate the abortion debate in America for the next several years thanks to Gov. Dave Heineman of Nebraska. Last week, Heineman signed the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act into law, banning abortions in Nebraska at and after 20 weeks based on growing scientific evidence that an unborn child at that age can feel pain. The legislation was enacted as a defensive measure. After the murder of late-term abortionist George...

For months the leaders of Call to Action have been collecting signatures on a petition to the US bishops' conference, demanding action against Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln, Nebraska, who has refused to play along with the "audits" required by the Dallas Charter. Pause here for a bit of background: The bishops' conference has no authority to discipline an individual bishop for non-compliance with the Charter audits.Insofar as the conference can do anything, it's already been done; the conference has published public pleas for Bishop Bruskewitz to get in line with the policy.Bishop Bruskewitz, who (rightly) regards the audits as...

A legislator who filed a lawsuit against God has gotten something he might not have expected: a response. One of two court filings from “God” came Wednesday under otherworldly circumstances, according to John Friend, clerk of the Douglas County District Court in Omaha. “This one miraculously appeared on the counter.
