Last week, Students for Life of America welcomed its third class of Wilberforce Fellows. The year-long fellowship trains promising pro-life college, law, and medical students in leadership skills. The goal, of course, is to ensure that the next generation of pro-life leadership is up to the task. But there is also another goal: the promotion […]
From the Chicago Tribune: Tonya Reaves died Friday after she began to hemorrhage, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Her death was ruled an accident. The pregnancy and “cervical dilation and evacuation,” which is a technical term for abortion, that she received at the Planned Parenthood clinic, 18 S. Michigan Ave. were listed […]
On Tuesday the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a law in South Dakota requiring that doctors tell their patients considering abortions that the abortion procedure increases her risk of committing suicide. Considering the great post abortive impact on a woman’s physical and mental health, this is a reasonable decision that should be supported by […]
Secular Pro-Life is working on a short video that will tackle the grand-daddy of all pro-abortion arguments: bodily autonomy. Of course, there has been no shortage of discourse on this topic– most of it dry and unmemorable. But nobody is going to say that about this video. Why not? Because our short video is going to […]
MSNBC covers the story of Addison Hope Kelly. When Addison was a fetus around 6 months gestation, ultrasound revealed she had a tumor between her heart and lungs, making it unlikely that Addison would survive. Addison’s parents chose fetal surgery, which would give Addison a 50/50 chance of survival. Although the process caused Mary Kelly, Addison’s […]

The alleged link between abortion and breast […]
Andy & Son Since the Obama Administration took over in 2009 there have been a series of FBI interrogations of pro-life advocates. Most recently a friend of mine, Andy Moore, received a knock at his door and, to his surprise, was confronted by FBI agents. The agents asked a number of questions, some of which being […]
Recently I highlighted a story about a woman arrested for her self-administered (via RU-486) abortion; I then asked what you, readers, believe the repercussions should be for breaking the law if abortion were illegal. In a case of coincidental timing, Live Action News also recently discussed the punitive implications of legally restricting abortion. In the post, author […]
The Washington Post suggests that it would be controversial for Mitt Romney to pick Condoleezza Rice as a VP candidate due to Rice’s “mildly pro-choice” views. Rice has previously stated she supports parental notification and is against late-term abortions (as are most Americans). However, regarding Roe v. Wade, Rice has said, “I have not wanted to see […]
