Can we all put the “Facebook privacy concerns” into perspective for one hot sec? Srsly. This isn’t passwords or credit card numbers or actual private information. This is information that users have made public on their profiles.

The United Methodist Church's stance on abortion...
A debate on Twitter about Catholic hospitals and their ban on pregnancy termination — even in the instance of life-threatening complications for the mother — made me think.
