The Economist reports on the studies conducted by Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychologist investigating correlations between parenting and life satisfaction. [Dr. Lyubomirsky] found that, regardless of the year the survey was conducted, parents had higher happiness, satisfaction and meaning-of-life scores than non-parents. … Moreover, a closer look showed that the differences in happiness and satisfaction […]
I have written previously about the emotional numbness that can come with arguing about any topic frequently enough. I’ve discussed and debated abortion so often for so long that nowadays I find I tend to get angrier over egregious errors in logic than I do over flagrantly pro-choice mentalities. I used to worry that this […]
Often in order for a person to be upset over something, their thinking has to be altered in some way or another, whether it be by a person’s story, a personal experience, or even a picture. Unfortunately the majority of us do not care about the major issues of our day until we are confronted […]
[Guest blogger EN shares her story about her unplanned pregnancy.] It is hard to imagine a journey as beautiful as the one I’m going to tell you beginning in a stall in the ladies room at Target, but that is where I found out I was pregnant with my 4th child. There I sat, staring […]
[As pro-lifers, we often find it difficult to comprehend how anyone could choose to kill their offspring. In this remarkably honest post, guest-blogger CP relates the new understanding she experienced through her second pregnancy.] I am currently pregnant with my second child and was recently offered the Downs Screening blood test. With my first child […]
It’s easy to spend a lot of time discussing the issues close to our hearts. It’s not as easy finding time to get more pro-active. For many of us (hopefully) summer means a more flexible schedule. I encourage you all, if you don’t already, to take some time for volunteer work this season. I work […]
Teenage pregnancy is a tough topic to discuss. That’s even more true when your medium of discussion is a comic strip. So I want to take just a brief moment to highlight today’s Zits strip. Pregnancy-related humor often relies, sadly, on making the pregnant woman the butt of the joke. I am happy to see […]
As TIME reports, researchers at the Centre for Reproductive Health at the University of Edinburgh have discovered a gene (Katnal1) that appears to be crucial to sperm production. They found that mice with mutations in Katnal1 are infertile. If a drug can be developed to target Katnal1, the drug could serve as a non-hormonal, reversible, […]
[Our first post by guest blogger LN.] I completely agree with pro-choice writer Allison Benedikt. In her article, “Why Pro-Choicers Should Be OK With Sex-Selection Abortions,” she points out that pro-choicers feeling squeamish about a particular reason for having an abortion makes no sense. She’s right. This is pretty elementary stuff: The pro-choice movement is […]
Thank you, Holmes. It’s very easy to form an opinion based on emotion or partial facts, and then cling to that opinion and filter further information accordingly (see “confirmation bias“). I would like the pro-life movement as a whole, and Secular Pro-Life particularly, to transcend this problem. I want ours to be an environment […]
