[Today’s post originally appeared on the Americans United for Life blog.] Jack McMahon, the defense attorney for Kermit Gosnell, is a friendly guy. Before the trial began, he chit-chatted with pro-lifers in the gallery. He couldn’t discuss the case, of course, but he shared funny stories and talked golf. He seemed like a nice man. […]
Live Action just released their latest undercover video from a Women’s Health Center in the Bronx. In it, a woman 23 weeks pregnant questions Health Center employees about what would happen should her child be born alive. The response is chilling. One employee tells the pregnant woman that a born-alive infant would be killed with […]
[Today’s post was originally published at LifeNews.] Oregon’s state senate is considering an unconstitutional bill that would interfere with the vital work of pregnancy resource centers—and if the legislation passes, it could create a precedent for even worse attacks on pro-life charities and individuals. Pro-abortion groups have been attempting to legislate against pregnancy centers for […]
A lot happened in the last couple of days. In case you missed anything, here’s where the trial currently stands. After the prosecution rested its case, the judge dismissed three of the eight counts of murder for insufficient evidence, then reinstated one. Several lesser charges were also dismissed. At the end of the day, though, […]
When you hear the phrase “abortion survivor,” you might think of someone like Melissa Ohden, who was born alive after an attempt to kill her with saline. She survived with no serious health problems and is now a prominent pro-life speaker. Tragically, most abortion survivors do not survive very long. In that vein, you might […]
I’m taking a bit of a break from my critical series on Thomson’s famous essay, A Defense of Abortion, to present an article that was inspired from a conversation I had with my friend, Linda, on Facebook. I am a speaker and mentor for Justice for All, which is an organization that trains people to […]
Last week’s piece on terms that pro-lifers should avoid got a great response. Many of you had suggestions for additional phrases that we should remove from our vocabulary. Others had comments on the original three. Secular Pro-Life member Sarah Terzo kicked things off with a suggestion so clearly right, I’m embarrassed that I didn’t include […]
In the first post, I introduced the theme that pro-choice journalists are unconsciously avoiding directly covering the Gosnell case because it would cause cognitive dissonance and provided the first example: the Gosnell case would reveal just how liberal and out-of-touch the abortion status quo is in this country. In the second post I got to the […]
[Today’s post by guest blogger Nathaniel is reprinted with permission from his blog, Difficult Run.] Yesterday I wrote the first in a series of 3 posts discussing why the mainstream media has been reluctant to cover the Kermit Gosnell case. Rather than suggest that there’s some kind of conspiracy or willful deception, my belief is […]
[Today’s post is by guest blogger Nathaniel, re-posted with permission from his blog, Difficult Run.] Less than a week after Kirsten Powers’ USA Today piece, the concerted pro-life effort to get the Gosnell trial the media attention it tragically deserves has succeeded. Sort of. There are a lot of articles being written about Gosnell, but […]
