[Today’s post is co-authored by Acyutananda and Kelsey Hazzard.] The idea that legal abortion is a symptom of and reinforces a patriarchal, misogynistic social system is not new. In our awareness, it goes back at least to the founders of Feminists for Life. However, there has been a flowering just recently of fresh thinking on […]
This bill hasn’t passed, thank FSM, but the fact that it’s even being seriously discussed is horrible. Illinois state representatives Keith Wheeler and John Caveletto have proposed a measure to financially punish children whose mothers will not—or cannot—name the father on the birth certificate. If an unmarried mother cannot or refuses to name the child’s […]
Recently my FB newsfeed delivered me this gem: “5 Thing Pro-Choicers Wish Their Anti-Choice Friends Understood.” To my disappointment, the article includes plenty of sarcasm, negative assumptions, and (in my experience) incorrect stereotypes. It certainly doesn’t come off as a conversation between friends, so maybe the title was just tongue-in-cheek. But I really do have […]
One of the leaked CMP videos featured abortionists commiserating about a perplexing administrative problem: if you can’t sell the corpses, how else to dispose of them? Created Equal has jumped on this and launched a new initiative called Project Weak Link. The tissue disposal companies are the weak link in the abortion industry chain. Created […]
In The Rise of the Ku Klux Klan: Right-Wing Movements and National Politics, University of Notre Dame sociology chair Rory McVeigh reveals that the KKK was about more than just promoting white supremacy. It was also actively involved in other matters of interest to low-income whites, particularly ending child labor and instituting compulsory public education (segregated, […]
SPL president Kelsey Hazzard here. On Monday night, I offered my “Pro-Life Without God” presentation to Nicholls State University students. Video is now up: The audience was entirely pro-life, which is unusual; typically pro-choicers will come to debate or just out of curiosity. But Nicholls is in a very pro-life part of the country, with […]
A still from the first Center for Medical Progress video Abortion advocates have put forward a number of supposedly neutral reasons for attacking the Center for Medical Progress. It’s not just because they’re pro-life, they insist. Using a fake identity is wrong. Or They’re activists, not journalists, so it’s different. Or They should have immediately […]
Join us tonight at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana as SPL president Kelsey Hazzard makes the secular case for life. This event is free and open to the public. For those of you who can’t make it, we expect to post video on Wednesday.
SPL member Stephanie D. wrote: I had to have some minor gynecological surgery done today, and wary that some gynos also do abortions, I specifically looked at a gyno attached to a Catholic hospital and booked into what I thought was a Catholic surgicentre. Found out once I was in the prep room ready to […]
The people sharing this meme (and unfortunately I count some friends among them) are not nearly as clever as they think they are: I’ve seen a few variations on this with other recently-terminated campaigns (mostly Santorum), usually concluding with a comment about how he’s such a hypocrite and wouldn’t it be great if he got […]
