In July, hackers attacked AbolishAbortion.com, a Students for Life of America activism website. The attack completely destroyed the site, which (among other things) advertised pro-life jobs and internships, and provided users with daily pro-life status updates for Facebook and Twitter. I’m happy to report that AbolishAbortion.com has risen from the ashes, with improved security features […]
Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. As was mentioned a while back, our friends at the Life Matters Journal are seeking submissions for the journal’s second issue. I am writing an article that is more or less adapted from the presentation that Secular Pro-Life gave at Liberty University. Since it is not […]
The blog is taking a weeklong hiatus in observance of Thanksgiving. As you enjoy this time with your families, please don’t forget about those less fortunate. Your local pregnancy resource center can always use donations of baby and maternity items.

In this TED video, medical imaging expert Alexander Tsiaras presents a fascinating animation of prenatal development, showing both external and internal features. The emphasis is on the earlier stages of pregnancy, when development is most rapid. It’s hard to know where Tsiaras stands on abortion– the language used in the video varies widely– but it’s […]
It’s Friday, which normally would mean a guest post from Timmerie. She’s a bit busy today, though; she’s one of the organizers of the International Pro-Life Youth Conference, taking place this weekend. Good luck, Timmerie!
My apologies for not posting the last few days. Let’s take a look at the biggest story we missed: the vote on personhood in Mississippi. You’re probably aware that Mississippi’s personhood amendment (Initiative 26) did not pass, despite looking like it would pass by a wide margin just a few weeks ago. Various groups have […]
The most recent 40 Days for Life campaign ended yesterday. Campaign director Shawn Carney reports that 508 unborn children have been rescued from abortion during the past forty days! Whether you credit God (as Carney does) or simply the kindness of the volunteers, that is simply amazing. To put it in perspective, this campaign saved […]
For some reason, the media chose this past week to examine the makeup of the pro-life movement, or at least its leaders. Three articles are worth noting.
