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. A) A widely circulated article from The Weekly Standard focused on Millennials, who “haven’t grown more religious, politically conservative, or queasy about gay rights,” but “tend to see […]
[Today’s blog post is by SPL supporter Phil Eddy, who works for Students for Life of America as Northeast Regional Coordinator. 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. Although personhood amendments have been tried before, this is the first with any real chance of passing, and so it’s gotten lots of media attention. Pro-lifers are divided on the advisability of this […]

We’re especially looking for 1-2 page news commentary on the recent trend of bullying & suicide (especially as regards LGBT youth), Troy Davis’s execution on death row, developments in US politics, and also for many […]

“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! Abortion has been practiced for millenia!” To some extent, they’re right. After all, burglary is illegal and socially […]
[Editor’s note: Today’s feature is a guest post by former abortion worker Jewels Green, who is now a pro-life advocate.] Should breaking the law be advocated to advance the cause for life? Should violence be encouraged, condoned, or celebrated to further the cause for life? No, and no. The pro-life movement has made great strides […]
The pro-abortion claim that pro-lifers are anti-sex is nothing new. From Canadian abortion advocates’ recent attempt to make some kind of point by dressing up as penises and vaginas, to Amanda Marcotte’s bizarre assertion that pro-lifers’ motive in protesting outside abortion facilities is “to gawk and yell at women whose soon-to-be-terminated pregnancies constitute solid proof […]
Live Action shares this interesting chart, showing the percentage of unplanned pregnancies ending in abortion by the mother’s religious affiliation:What do these figures tell us? Unplanned children of evangelicals have the best odds of survival, and evangelicals certainly have a reputation for being pro-life. But 32% is still much too high. I was surprised to […]
