The anniversary of Roe v. Wade on January 22nd is a somber occasion. It reminds us of the millions of innocent lives that have been lost to abortion in the United States. It is also a very hectic time for many pro-life advocates, myself included. And yet this is, without question, my favorite time of […]
[Today’s guest post by Roger McCormack is part of our paid blogging program.] The tragedy that is late-term abortion recently received the approbation of the U.S. Supreme Court.

I have previously explained two good arguments for the pro-life position, the Substance View and the Future of Value arguments. I would like to share with you a third.
