[Today’s piece was co-authored by Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard and Americans United for Life senior counsel William Saunders. It originally appeared in LifeNews.] Abortion advocacy groups refer to themselves as “women’s groups.” They claim that pro-lifers are waging a “war on women.” And the media parrots them at every turn. Under these circumstances, pro-life […]
When abortion advocates die, how should we respond? It’s a timely question. On Monday, Sen. Lautenberg (D-NJ) died of natural causes at the age of 89. He accomplished many things in his decades as an elected official, but in pro-life circles, he’ll be remembered for his belief that defenders of unborn human life “don’t deserve […]
The abortion industry has really been on the run lately. Gosnell was just the start. Then came the death of Jennifer Morbelli at the hands of late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart. Then came Douglas Karpen, the “Texas Gosnell,” under investigation for killing newborn abortion survivors. Then came Associates in OB/GYN Care, which killed 38-year-old Maria Santiago […]
CNN reports that condom company Sir Richard’s has adopted the charitable strategy of TOMS Shoes: buy one, and one will be donated to a developing country. They’re starting with Haiti, where HIV has spiked in the years since a devastating earthquake overwhelmed its healthcare system. It’s a clever idea, and there’s no doubt that condoms […]
This afternoon at four, the Pro-Life Action League is leading a protest against President Obama and Speaker Pelosi, who are both ardent supporters of abortion through all nine months of pregnancy (and, in Obama’s case, arguably beyond). The protest will be held outside Chicago Hilton & Towers, 720 S. Michigan Avenue, where Obama and Pelosi […]
I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend! Here are some stories you may have missed. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down an Arizona law restricting late-term abortions (after 20 weeks). Americans United for Life explains why the ruling was flawed: the Supreme Court has clearly recognized the legitimate […]
At Secular Pro-Life, our primary goal is to unite people of every faith and no faith in the fight against abortion. Every year in the United States, over one million unborn children’s lives are violently snuffed out in the name of “choice.” But in focusing on this tragedy, we do not mean to minimize other […]
E. W. Jackson Democratic activists are going nuts over statements by E. W. Jackson, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of Virginia. The quote all the news pieces are highlighting: “Planned Parenthood has been far more lethal to black lives than the KKK ever was.” Reporters are treating this as an unimaginable gaffe. Their theme […]
Daniel Henninger writes: No other public policy has divided the people of the United States for so long and so deeply. Abortion is America’s second civil war. . . . Across the 40 post-Roe years, the idea of a deeply personal decision, or choice, has taken a back seat to the hard face of public […]
I am often asked if I know of any non-religious resources for post-abortion recovery. Most post-abortion programs are Christian, with a particular emphasis on doctrines relating to repentance and forgiveness. And for some women, that’s fine. But many post-abortive women are not Christian, and not interested in conversion. They struggle with the same issues of […]
