It contains state-by-state data, pro-life model legislation on dozens of subjects, thoughtful commentary, and lots more.

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.

On page three, […]

These three videos are from a medical-legal-political symposium that was hosted by Americans United for Life on Thursday, January 24 (the day before the March for Life). I was there, and I was very impressed by many of the speakers. But the symposium lasted all afternoon, so in this post I will just showcase the […]
