Melissa Ohden, Abortion Survivor

In 1977, Melissa Ohden was born alive after a failed abortion. Her biological parents arranged for her to be adopted. Melissa describes her adoptive parents’ reactions when they met her: My parents saw the inherent beauty that existed in me. I want everybody to see that. If we look behind words, if we look behind […]

A Critique of Judith Jarvis Thomson’s A Defense of Abortion, Part I

March 13, 2013/5 Comments/in Bodily Rights, Philosophy /by Clinton Wilcox

Probably the most famous argument against the pro-life position is Judith Jarvis Thomson’s Violinist Analogy, in which you are attached, against your will, to a famous unconscious violinist to prevent his dying from a kidney ailment. I have already responded to the violinist analogy in previous articles. But within the original essay where the violinist […]

For sale: notorious abortion facility

March 12, 2013/1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

A tip of the hat to Secular Pro-Life supporter Lynn Mills, who has tracked down this story. Recently, abortionist Reginald Sharpe closed down his Livonia abortion business after he began bankruptcy proceedings (possibly to avoid the medical malpractice claims that had been filed against him). Last night, Lynn informed me that the facility was for […]

Get up to speed on the Kermit Gosnell trial

March 11, 2013/12 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

The jurors have been selected for the trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell. Pro-life potential jurors were dismissed out of fear that they would a) convict no matter what, and/or b) in the event of a conviction, refuse to vote for the death penalty.  The dismissal of pro-life jurors doesn’t trouble me too much. If […]

Can I be a feminist too?

March 8, 2013/23 Comments/in Uncategorized /by admin

[Today’s entry is re-posted from “Yeah, but…“] I consider myself a feminist. I’m a big proponent of women going to college and building their own careers (and I’d like to see more female scientists). I’m very big on a balance between our relationships and the rest of our lives; you should not be made or […]

Working Mothers

March 7, 2013/2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by admin

Licia Ronzulli at work with her baby girl in tow. A woman’s decisions about bearing children are influenced by how much social support she can expect as a mother. With that in mind, and in honor of Women’s History Month, today we consider some historical examples of support (or lack thereof) for working mothers in […]

NYC Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ad Campaign

March 6, 2013/9 Comments/in Uncategorized /by LN

As pro-lifers, how should we approach teen pregnancy? On the one hand, it’s important to keep teens informed about risks of pregnancy, ways to prevent pregnancy, and challenges they will face if they become pregnant. On the other hand, teens should know what resources are at their disposal during pregnancy and, at least as important, […]
