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!

The Life Matters Journal seeks submissions for its next issue: We need news pieces on any of our given issues. 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 […]

She’ll get the […]
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 […]
