In Arkansas, Governor Mike Beebe signed the Pregnant Woman’s Protection Act after it was passed unanimously in the state house and senate. The Act gives legal protection to pregnant women who use force to protect their unborn children. This legislation isn’t directly related to abortion, but it is a pro-life, pro-woman measure. As Americans United […]

Dr. C. Everett Koop, former Surgeon General of the United States, recently died at the age of 92. He lived a long, healthy life, fitting for a steward of a nation’s health. Pro-life groups have heaped praise on Dr. Koop, who was an outspoken supporter of the right to life. As a medical professional, he […]
Yesterday, a coalition of pro-life groups launched a new petition site, StopCarhart.com. The petition signatures will be used “in support of the February 19 official complaint lodged by Operation Rescue against late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart,” in response to the deaths of Jennifer Morbelli and baby Madison on February 7th. The complaint asks for “immediate emergency […]

It’s called Cultivating Weeds, and it’s a short fictional piece with pro-life themes. We’re selling copies as a […]
Over the weekend, our facebook page crossed the 2000-fan threshold! We’re now up to 2,011 members. Here are our stats from Facebook (click to enlarge): Just over 60% of our membership is female. This doesn’t surprise me at all. Although abortion advocates like to paint the anti-abortion movement as male-dominated, in my experience, women are […]
Happy President’s Day! In honor of the occasion, here are some pro-life quotes from previous occupants of the White House. [Note: I realize that some of these quotes are pro-life only in a broad sense, and not specifically about abortion, because they predate the modern abortion rights movement. So sue me.] “The care of human […]
The abortion rights movement has long struggled with a fundamental problem of cognitive dissonance.
