[Today’s post is part of the national “Ask Them What They Mean by ‘Choice’ Day,” a response to NARAL’s “Blog for Choice” event.] The argument for “choice” is simple. The abortion debate is unending. Since people will never come to a consensus, we should just leave it to the individual conscience. “Now that I’m safe, […]
What is the PIE Project, you ask? PIE stands for Pro-life Information and Experience. The idea is to document the cumulative knowledge of the pro-life movement, so that people don’t have to re-invent the wheel. This is being done with short videos (under 5 minutes) in which pro-life leaders share their perspectives on key topics. […]

The Susan B. Anthony List is working with pro-life politicians to develop talking points about pregnancy from rape. The always reasonable Amanda Marcotte sees this as evidence of malfeasance, declaring: “The SBA List isn’t interested in discouraging Republican politicians from holding ugly, sexist beliefs about domestic and sexual violence. They’re just here to help politicians […]
It’s hard to believe that Roe v. Wade is turning 40 years old next week. Over 55 million unborn babies have died since January 22, 1973. Abortion supporters will be celebrating this as a triumph.

There was no shortage of great pro-life articles last week. Here are three that you should take the time to read in full. In an excellent article at Public Discourse, Russell Nieli recounts a Princeton University debate and explains what pro-lifers can learn from Karl Marx: “Karl Marx,” I said, “got most things wrong” (some […]

It’s an uncontroversial fact of science that the preborn conceived of a human male and human female are human beings (biologically) from fertilization. But does this mean that just because they’re human beings we can’t kill them? There are times when it’s almost universally accepted that it’s acceptable to kill a human being, such as […]
