Numerous undercover projects have shown the willingness of Planned Parenthood employees to ignore cases of child abuse that they are legally required to report. The most recent of these was Live Action’s Traffick investigation. A few weeks after those videos were recorded, but before they were released, Planned Parenthood realized what was going on and […]
Thank you for bearing with us as we had no posts last week (except of course for Matthew Newman’s ever-reliable Wednesday news summary). Here are some tidbits from over the break: BryanKemper.com, a youth-focused Christian pro-life blog, was hacked. Over a year’s worth of content was deleted.

The House will be reviewing a similar bill today. If passed, it will go to a conference committee to deal with the […]
A week ago, Jill Stanek’s weekend question was about one of my pet peeves, sidewalk counselors who yell. I’ve never seen an experienced counselor do this in person (and the only people who I’ve ever seen attempt it were immediately ostracized and soon went away). However, because yellers do exist, there is a certain stigma […]
