I went to law school. This has affected my way of thinking, for good and for ill. I am now fluent in legalese. The purpose of legalese is to increase clarity. I realize that that’s very difficult for non-lawyers to believe! But it’s true, and in this post, I’ll show you by translating some legalese. […]
Via 41 Percent NYC On Monday, the New York Post published an article entitled “NYC’s tanning salons inspected more regularly than abortion clinics.” The Post describes this discovery as a “bombshell.” And for those who haven’t been paying the slightest bit of attention to the abortion industry and its lobby, I suppose it is.

[Today’s guest post is by K. M. Misener.] Far too many abortion debates are framed in the most simple, black and white terms: “Are you for abortion or against it?” However, there are many shades of gray between the two extremes of an absolute ban on abortion from the moment of fertilization vs. abortion on […]
Tonight, we are screening the 40 film! This documentary is a fantastic look at the history of the pro-life cause and what the future holds.

[Today’s guest post by Kris Skul is part of our paid blogging program.] This is a follow-up to my March 25 post, “Abortion, Sex Positivity, and the Non-Aggression Principle,” in which I argued that defending the unborn and supporting sexual freedom are not philosophically incompatible.

At last weekend’s Life/Peace/Justice conference in Philadelphia, I was honored to be part of a panel on “Secular Witness: Reaching a Changing Young Culture for Life,” alongside representatives of I Stand for Life, Pro-Life Humanists, and PLAGAL: The Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians. It was a great conversation, and we recorded it for everyone […]
This time last year, notorious Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell was on trial. “For procrastination,” as one insightful commentator put it. Gosnell waited until his victims had passed through the birth canal before cutting their spinal cords. Let’s not forget that he also killed adult women (a fact that unfortunately got less attention than it should […]

[Today’s guest post by Alexa Gospodinoff is part of our paid blogging program. Alexa is agnostic and openly queer.] The modern social justice movement can be described as a loose union of movements that oppose institutionalized injustice in various forms—racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and many more. It’s seen as a single movement because all […]
[Today’s guest blog post is by Nick Reynosa.] One of my first experiences ever at an abortion facility was on March 31, 2011. I arrived early, just as the workers were approaching.
