[Today’s guest post by Rebecca Downs is part of our paid blogging program.] Abortionist Dennis Dean Christensen, formerly of Illinois, now practices in Milwaukee. But the days of his business may be numbered: three area hospitals have denied him admitting privileges due to his extensive history of unsafe practices and bizarre behavior. Christensen has responded […]
SPL president Kelsey Hazzard here. When I was in high school, I was uselessly pro-life. I didn’t do anything about it outside of the occasional debate with friends. It wasn’t until college that I really got involved. Not so for the high schoolers I will address on July 28. They’re part of Camp Joshua, a […]
[Today’s guest post by Rebecca Stapleford is part of our paid blogging program. Rebecca has three sisters, two of whom are also disabled. One of her significantly disabled sisters will eventually need a kidney transplant.] Many of those involved in the pro-life movement are aware of the incredibly high abortion statistics for those prenatally diagnosed […]
Human life does not begin at birth. Hopefully we can all agree on that by now. But the English language hasn’t caught up to the science. We’ve written before about the problem with phrases like “born leader,” “a sucker born every minute,” etc. We decided it’s time to expand that conversation with the ultimate conversation-starter: […]
[Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] I’ve had a few Christian pro-life friends of mine (kindly) tell me they don’t really understand how a secularist can defend the pro-life position. Sure, they get that we don’t need religion to understand fetal development, and we don’t need to believe in a god to recognize that […]
[Today’s guest post by Clinton Wilcox is part of our paid blogging program.] One of the problems with the pro-choice position, aside from the fact that abortion unjustly kills an innocent child, is the fact that it places the will of the parents over the needs of the child, when in fact it should be […]
[Today’s guest post by Roni Cairns is part of our paid blogging program. An earlier version of this piece appeared on her personal blog.] Have you ever been told that a woman will lose all of her rights and become a second-class person, inferior, or subhuman if she cannot obtain a legal abortion? I have, […]
When you think of “the pro-life movement,” who do you picture? Do you think of a massive crowd with homemade picket signs shuffling through Washington DC in the snow (or San Francisco in the sun)? Do you imagine an elderly lady standing outside an abortion clinic handing out pregnancy resource pamphlets? Maybe the phrase “pro-life […]
From Reuters (a short article, so here it is in its entirety): Florida Governor Rick Scott signed legislation on Friday barring late-term abortions in cases where doctors determine an unborn child could survive outside the womb, in a move critics say further chips away at abortion rights. The measure is among new limits on abortion […]
[Guest blogger Roni Cairns contributed to today’s piece.] One argument in favor of Roe v. Wade, and for the general argument that bodily autonomy trumps the right to life, is that pro-life logic would dictate in favor of forced cesarean sections. Many pro-lifers would of course disagree. It’s true that in some scenarios a C-section […]
