Planned Parenthood abortion quotas

July 23, 2014 /500 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

And Then There Were None. from Abe Films on Vimeo. We interrupt our regularly scheduled blogging to urge you to watch the above video from And Then There Were None. We do not use the term “pro-abortion” lightly. We realize that some people truly are pro-choice. But with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy: If you plan […]

Define “Rare”

July 22, 2014 /18 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

When discussing how “rare” or “frequent” something is, what matters more: percentages, or absolute numbers? In the abortion debate, this problem comes up in at least two contexts: rape, and late-term abortions. Abortion advocates maintain that pregnancy from rape is a common occurrence. They also maintain that late-term abortions are rare, as they are only […]

Peacetime Use

July 21, 2014 /10 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Years ago, I encountered a piece in Feminism & Nonviolence Studies entitled “Feminist, Prolife, and Atheist,” by Kathryn Reed. At the time, I had no idea that atheism was in my future. What really stuck with me was not the title, or even the body of the article, but one of the subheadings: “Converting Abortion Clinics […]

Mark your calendars

July 18, 2014 /1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

This event is sponsored by Right to Life Kern County. Details here. 2) On Monday, September 8, SPL President Kelsey Hazzard will […]

Conceived to be Wild

July 15, 2014 /2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

SPL supporter Nicole J. won our “Language of Life” t-shirt contest with these companion designs:   This is a great conversation-starter, without being confrontational or over-the-top. (“Why does it say ‘conceived to be wild’ instead of ‘born to be wild’?” “Because human life begins at conception; our language just hasn’t caught up to the science.”) […]

David Boonin’s “Organized Cortical Brain Activity” Argument

July 14, 2014 /74 Comments/in Personhood /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest post by Ben Williamson is part of our paid blogging program.] Philosopher David Boonin, who is a prominent advocate of abortion rights, is in my opinion one of the most sophisticated defenders of abortion rights out of the authors I have read. He is somewhat different from most abortion rights advocates in that […]

Just a Clump of Cells?

July 9, 2014 /110 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s post by Ben Williamson is part of our paid blogging program.] It’s well-established, as a scientific matter, that preborn embryos and fetuses are living human organisms. Nevertheless, many abortion advocates claim that the human embryo is not really a human being, but is merely a clump of cells, no more valuable than any somatic […]

Begging questions and trotting out toddlers

July 8, 2014 /500 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest post by Ben Williamson is part of our paid blogging program.] It is absolutely critical that the issue dividing the pro-lifers and abortion advocates be clarified and not muddled by irrelevancies. As author Scott Klusendorf points out in The Case for Life: “If you think a particular argument for elective abortion begs the […]

The Life Equation, Part IV

July 4, 2014 /5 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s post by Nick Reynosa is the final installment of a four-part series. Click here for part 1, here for part 2, and here for part 3.] We come to the last part of the life equation: women’s deaths from illegal abortion. I think this is a three part question: Are their deaths avoidable? If […]

The Life Equation, Part III

July 3, 2014 /11 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s post by Nick Reynosa is part 3 of a four-part series. Click here for part 1 and here for part 2.] [Editor’s note: This post was written prior to the announcement of the Hobby Lobby decision. Wherever you come down on that decision, it’s worth mentioning that even the Hobby Lobby plaintiffs, who are […]
