From the United Kingdom comes the amazing story of a child whose tragically short life is having a tremendous impact: Newborn Teddy Houlston, who died 100 minutes after his birth, became Britain’s youngest ever organ donor after his kidneys and heart valves were used to save a man’s life. The newborn died on April 22, […]
[Today’s guest post by Rebecca Downs is part of our paid blogging program.] By now you may have heard about a brief submitted to the Supreme Court, on behalf of those opposed to same-sex marriage, which claims recognizing such marriages could cause 900,000 abortions.

[Editor’s note: portions of this article were published earlier.] Secular Pro-Life is seeking pro-life licensed physicians to review medical literature for an upcoming educational campaign. This campaign, which will launch in late May or early June, focuses on a long-term risk of induced abortion. I can’t reveal all the details yet, but in very general […]

Today’s post is part of our “Website Under Deconstruction” series exploring abortion center websites. The Blue Mountain Clinic is an abortion business in Missoula, Montana. It’s somewhat unusual in that it combines abortion with the provision of legitimate health care like treatment for diabetes and other common afflictions, annual physicals, and mental health care.
