Today is the 39th anniversary of the Hyde Amendment. First enacted on September 30, 1976, the Hyde Amendment prohibits the use of federal Medicaid dollars for medically unnecessary abortions, except in cases of rape and incest. The result? There are over a million young Americans alive today who would have died in the absence of […]
Planned Parenthood is asking its supporters to “turn the internet pink” today, using the hashtags #PinkOut and #StandWithPP. This, of course, is in response to the #PPsellsbabyparts scandal and subsequent efforts to redirect Planned Parenthood’s government funding to more deserving women’s health providers. I can’t think of a better illustration of the shallowness of the […]
NARAL Pro-Choice America posted a video featuring Bill Nye giving his views on abortion. Throughout the roughly four and a half minutes, Nye says pro-lifers have a “deep scientific lack of understanding” and hold positions “based on bad science.” He thinks we anti-abortion folk “apparently literally don’t know what you’re talking about” (as opposed to […]

The House has already passed it. I’ve noticed some confusion about whether this is related to the […]
“Safe haven” is a catchall term for laws that allow mothers to surrender newborns to hospitals, police stations, and similar facilities without facing any liability or interrogation. Every state in the U.S. has a safe haven law. Slate published an article on the subject last week. At first, author Christina Cauterucci talks sense: From a harm […]
Scott Klusendorf, president of Life Training Institute, developed a tool to help us keep the conversation focused on what the unborn is. That tool is called Trot Out the Toddler. Essentially, if someone is talking about circumstances, such as poverty, while these circumstances are important to discuss, they are not the issues that affect the […]
Historically, January has been the most expensive month of the year for Secular Pro-Life. January is when we have the best opportunity to share our secular message and equip pro-lifers to reach people of any faith and no faith. January is the March for Life in Washington, D.C., the Walk for Life West Coast in […]
