The other day, I had an interesting private twitter conversation with well-known abortion advocate and author Robin Marty. Marty was promoting a local project that plans to call itself a “pregnancy center,” but that will refer for abortions. The idea is that it will treat abortion, adoption, and parenting as equally valid options and offer […]
[Today’s guest post by Clinton Wilcox is part of our paid blogging program.] Abortion is an injustice. Pro-life people are passionate about ending it. Those are good things. But they are no excuse for name-calling. Unfortunately, some pro-lifers make really mean and nasty comments toward pro-choice people. This needs to stop and I intend to […]
Be very careful what you wish for, pro-choicers. The pro-life movement has long put post-abortive women front and center. The faith-based group Silent No More is the most prominent in this arena, although there are others. These women speak about their experiences and urge people in crisis pregnancies not to make the same mistakes they […]
Conservative media outlets generally, and pro-life ones in particular, are very concerned about the recent settlement of a lawsuit that the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) filed against the IRS. Since I’m secular, pro-life, and an attorney by day, I’d like to weigh in. The FFRF charged that the IRS was failing to enforce rules […]

Gammy’s biological parents are Australian, but he’s spent his entire life in Thailand. The Telegraph explains why: A Thai surrogate mother has received donations from across the world […]
Here’s one of the problems (by no means the only one) that I have with the bodily autonomy argument for abortion. Abortion advocates often compare the decision to continue an existing pregnancy to the decision to donate an organ. I don’t think it’s a great analogy (for reasons touched upon here), but for purposes of […]
[Today’s guest post by Chris Rostenberg is part of our paid blogging program.] When I first heard, in the 1990’s, that abortion was legal through all nine months of pregnancy, I couldn’t believe it. If that were true, why would it not be common knowledge? Why would there be debate over where life began? I […]
