It’s been a busy week for the pro-life movement! Here are some highlights. The latest 40 Days for Life campaign kicked off on Wednesday, and already there are reports of lives being saved! For information on secular participation in 40 Days, go here. Our sister blog, Abortion Safety Project, shares that an abortion facility in […]
[Editor’s note: Today’s post is by Patrick Ptomey. It originally appeared on his blog and is reprinted with permission.

My apologies for bringing this story to you so late. It’s easy to forget things that fall on the same day as the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. September 11 is the anniversary of another attack as well. It was on September 11, 2009 that Jim Pouillon was murdered while displaying a pro-life […]
Today’s post is a review of an article on Jezebel, in which a pro-choicer describes visiting a pregnancy help center, viewing her unborn baby on a sonogram, and then having an abortion.

You can read it online, for free, here. (To purchase a print version, for $12, go here.) Topics addressed in this issue include […]
It’s impossible not to talk about the tenth anniversary of 9/11. To blog about any other story would be to ignore the elephant in the room. Various pro-life commentators have noted that the number of lives lost in the September 11 attacks is very nearly the number lost to abortion every day. That’s true as […]
1) A recent study of premature infants suggests that babies’ ability to distinguish touch from pain becomes fully mature around 35 weeks. Dr Rebeccah Slater, UCL Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology, said: “Premature babies who are younger than 35 weeks have similar brain responses when they experience touch or pain.
