It includes interviews with a diverse array of pro-life leaders, including Secular Pro-Life’s Kelsey Hazzard and Pro-Life Humanists’ Kristine Kruszelnicki. Click here for our […]
Yesterday, LifeNews published an article entitled “Ambulance Rushes to Abortion Clinic that Killed Woman in Botched Abortion One Year Ago.” The abortion business at issue is Preterm in Cleveland, OH, where 22-year-old Lakisha Wilson bled to death in March of 2014. In response, advocates for women and their unborn babies are once again calling for […]
This morning, the Supreme Court holds oral argument in Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Fordham University professor Charlie Camosy has an interesting piece in the Daily Caller entitled A Home For The Pro-Life Movement (Beyond The Republican Party). Discussing the failure of national legislation to ban late-term abortions (after 20 weeks), he says: But is the latest pro-life failure of the national GOP really that surprising? This is the […]
This post is the fourth in “Website Under Deconstruction,” our series on abortion center websites. (See the first, second, and third.) Last week, NPR published a propaganda piece featuring the Preterm abortion center in Ohio. I do not hesitate to call it propaganda because it omitted any mention of Lakisha Wilson, who Preterm killed in a […]
I try to be an open-minded person. I obviously have strong beliefs about the right to life, but I am willing to have conversations with people who support abortion or are on the fence.
