The writer, while praising life reverence, weighs abortion rights, birth control, and the need to educate, contrasting male and female roles in the debate.

Ohio Farmland Soars 31 Percent Amid Rising Prices
Ohio farmland has jumped 31 percent in a year with prices ranging from under 1,000 to 3,000 dollars per acre.
