When it comes to the many internal debates of the pro-life movement—pass laws or build pregnancy centers? talk about contraception or talk about abstinence? work at the local level or the national level?—my attitude is usually: Seems my philosophy has carried the day when it comes to the late-term abortion ban (a.k.a. the 20-week ban […]
So I’ve been made aware of an article on a website called Mommyish, 10 Reasons to Have an Abortion — Illustrated by Adorable Cats, and written by Eve Vawter. Let’s be honest here. Most of her reasons are without substance, so the cat pictures are there to make her argument more emotionally compelling so that […]
For the first time, in addition to its conference in D.C. coinciding with the March for Life, Students for Life of America will also be holding a conference in San Francisco coinciding with the West Coast Walk for Life! The West Coast conference will be held on Saturday, January 26; details here. I cannot promise […]
In the previous part of this series, I addressed empirical objections that Ord anticipated. Now I will respond to his anticipated philosophical objections. See here and here for the first two parts in this series. Philosophical Objections: The first objection he responds to is a claim I made in an earlier part, that many of the conceptions that occur are not really […]

[Today’s guest post by Rebecca Downs is part of our paid blogging program.] As you have no doubt heard by now, a federal judge struck down a challenged provision of the Texas pro-life omnibus bill as unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled that the requirement that abortionists have admitting privileges at a hospital within […]
You’ve no doubt heard about the computer programmer’s worst nightmare that was the launch of HealthCare.gov. That was a newsworthy story, to be sure. But in all the media coverage, something important got lost: once you’ve gotten past the technical glitches and logged onto the website, how do you pick the right plan? At that […]
As my conclusion, I will now respond to certain objections that Ord anticipated. I was hoping to get this done in one part, but due to the length, it will contain two parts. See here and here for my previous parts. Empirical Objections: The first empirical objection Ord responds to is the fact that critics of his argument […]

Sarah is a pro-life atheist, a frequent contributor to Live Action News, and the force behind ClinicQuotes.com.] Apple Valley, Minnesota prosecutors allege that Roger Holland killed his pregnant wife Marjorie and their 15-week-old unborn baby.
