State Laws – The Week wrote a brief article describing the 5 States with the strictest abortion laws. The winners? Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Louisiana, and South Dakota. In other Kansas related news, the state legislature came 2 votes shy of overturning the Governor’s veto of new proposed abortion legislation. If it passed, the legislation would […]
Each Tuesday, we will be cross-posting Gerard Nadal’s discussion of Embryo: A Defense of Human Life. Today is the third installment. As the relative quiescence of the blog in recent weeks will attest, there has been a great deal going on that has kept me from posting, and I am truly sorry for the interruption […]
Supreme Court: President Obama stated this week that he will not use abortion or other social issues as a form of litmus test for who he nominates to the Supreme Court. With his very next breath, the President said that he wants a nominee “…who is going to be interpreting our Constitution in a way […]
In addition to running SecularProLife.org, I am also a first-year law student. Finals are approaching and my stress level has become unacceptably high. Accordingly, I am on hiatus from blogging until things calm down. You will still get your Friday posts from MRNewman and things that are cross-posted from Gerard Nadal.If you are interested in […]
I have seen this movie and it is amazing. I’m so happy to hear that it will be featured at Cannes– particularly since, as LifeNews points out, pro-abortion films have dominated on our issue in previous years. The festival is May 12-23, 2010. If you are in France at that time I encourage you to […]
There usually isn’t much pro-life news on weekends. So, following in the footsteps of Jill Stanek’s Weekend Question and Bryan Kemper’s Free Stuff Friday, I have decided to make Scatterbrained Sunday a regular feature of this blog.Today, I draw your attention to Four Reasons You Might Be Aborted: An Open Letter to Fetal Humans. It’s […]
In Australia, everyone who gives birth gets a $5000 “baby bonus.” The government also gives $5000 to the women whose children are stillborn, because telling a family that they’ve lost their baby and following up with “We need to talk about that subsidy” is a bit insensitive. The problem is that stillbirth is defined in […]
The Missouri State Senate just passed legislation which will create a list of information that a doctor must provide to a woman 24 hours prior to performing an abortion. According to the Columbia Missouran, these include: “Illustrated handouts from the Department of Health detailing abortion risks and physical characteristics of the unborn child’s development in […]
SuzyB has an interesting post today: Babies Pay on Tax Day. It highlights the various ways that our tax dollars fund abortion, including the reversal of the Mexico City Policy (international abortion) and Dornan Amendment (abortions in Washington, D.C.). I predict that this will cause some pro-lifers to think “I should not pay my taxes.” […]
The governors of Minnesota and Texas have declared April to be the official month for abortion recovery and awareness. Naturally, this drew the ire of self-proclaimed “pro-woman” abortion groups. Rather than once again attacking the existence of post-abortion regret–perhaps out of fear that post-abortive women would come out of the woodwork to refute them–Planned Parenthood […]
