Law center fights battles of faith

Thomas More cases range from defening intelligent design to opposing same-sex marriage

ANN ARBOR-- Richard Thompson is confident the day will come when the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

As head of a law firm touting itself as Christianity's answer to the American Civil Liberties Union, Thompson would gladly litigate a case that could give the nation's highest court an opportunity to further restrict or even reverse the case that legalized abortion. This is because the Thomas More Law Center, which Thompson co-founded in 1999 with Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan, sees its mission as protecting life at conception, religious freedoms and family values, one case at a time.

The law center was recently thrust into the limelight with the nationally watched case challenging intelligent design, a controversial theory that explains life as being so complex that it could have been created only by an intelligent being.

The Thomas More Law Center was founded after Thompson lost his elected seat as Oakland County prosecutor in the wake of trying to prosecute Kevorkian. Soon after, he and Monaghan, a devout Catholic, were talking about the country's political climate and how culture wars were being waged and won in the courts.

3. No Anchovies

The Dominos here won't put anchovies on their pizzas.

I won't buy a pizza from anybody that won't respect my right to choose anchovies.

4. I'm pro-anchovy and I vote

Even if I personally don't like anchovies, I couldn't possibly stand in the way of your getting them. :)

5. Anchovies and jalapeno peppers.

I love them both, and they were a great way to keep moochers (who wouldn't chip in) from wandering over and swiping slices when I was on my ships.
