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 […]
Two non-sectarian pro-life groups have asked us to share their upcoming programs. Feminists for Life is seeking unpaid interns for the summer and fall: Feminists for Life has telecommuting internship positions available for select pro-life feminists. FFL’s interns have the opportunity to work closely with FFL staff on exciting projects such as The American Feminist and […]

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. Most “pro-choice” people are nice, well-meaning folks; they certainly don’t view themselves as the sort of people who would condone violence against helpless human beings. But abortion always requires the violent destruction and disposal of a human being. How, then, to […]
On Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of speaking at the University of Mary Washington. The Students for Life club deserves major credit for putting together such a diverse panel.

On page three, […]
