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.

It is cross-posted from his Students for Life blog, where you can view more pictures. I happen to know that Phil is not Catholic, but he reaches out to any and all pro-life allies, […]
As many of you know, Mississippi voters will soon have the opportunity to recognize all human beings, from conception, as legal persons.

This excellent piece is completely secular, medically accurate, and thought-provoking. If you have a friend who is considering the abortion pill, take four minutes to show her this video.

A few days ago, Jewels Green, who is a former abortion center employee turned pro-lifer, contributed a blog post entitled “Pro-life and committed to ending abortion: but NOT by any means necessary.” In it, she expressed her opinion that the pro-life movement should refrain from any violence or unlawful activity, which she says “provides our […]
“We are the generation that will end abortion.” “I am an abortion abolitionist.” “No more babies die, no more women cry.” All popular slogans, which elicit a familiar response from our loyal opposition: “You’ll never end abortion!
