DUNEDIN (FBW) - After two requests to use the Dunedin Public Library's community meeting room for discussions about America's Christian heritage were denied, Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit in Tampa Jan. 9.

LAKELAND (FBW)- In her position as Sanctity of Human Life (SOHL) director for the Florida Baptist Children's Homes, Kathleen Hiers has assisted churches in starting 15 new pregnancy care centers since 2000, but she said she prays for more.

LAKELAND (FBW)-"Thirty years ago no one knew the cost of Roe v. Wade," Kathleen Hiers told Florida Baptist Witness. "The truth is we won't know the total cost until heaven."
