Steve Macias, the west coast coordinator of Students for Life of America (and a personal friend), was standing on public property outside a high school. He was passing out a brochure about fetal development, abortion, and how to take a stand against injustice. One of the twelve pages contained graphic images of aborted babies, while […]
I wonder if Planned Parenthood is surprised that the number of abortions has not dropped. Since they’re for reducing unplanned pregnancies, right?

1) A recent study of premature infants suggests that babies’ ability to distinguish touch from pain becomes fully mature around 35 weeks. Dr Rebeccah Slater, UCL Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology, said: “Premature babies who are younger than 35 weeks have similar brain responses when they experience touch or pain. After this time there is a […]
In India and China, sex-selective abortion has skewed the gender ratio by 10-20% in either country with females being aborted at a much higher rate. In addition, this type of gender imbalance is beginning to crop up in unexpected places, including parts of the world where there had been no history of sex-selective abortions. Niemen […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day. Now, back to business! The New York Times reports that one sperm donor has fathered more than 150 children. The story has prompted concern from experts and activists who believe that regulation of the fertility industry is long overdue: There is growing concern among parents, donors and […]
