North Carolina has a Choose Life license plate, but the state legislature has refused to allow a pro-choice plate. The ACLU is suing, saying that the state must either allow both or neither.

The other day, a facebook friend shared this link about top pro-abortion organizations. The information comes from My Philanthropedia, which does not provide a list of top pro-life charities. Fortunately, Charity Navigator has some solid information on the efficiency of pro-life charities. Here are a few pro-life groups that received high ratings. Four stars Life […]
CORRECTION: I misread the story about the federal court ruling. It did not uphold the the South Dakota law requiring disclosure of psychological risks. Instead, it upheld the law requiring disclosure that a) abortion terminates the life of a human being, and b) women have a right to not have an abortion. I apologize for […]
