Two items from RH Reality Check today. First, I’m in a minor comment war over this post about the pro-life view on ectopic pregnancy. Pro-lifers generally don’t even think of ectopic pregnancy treatment as being an abortion at all. If an unborn baby is doomed to die, and the mother is at risk if the […]
I’m expecting an uninvited guest tomorrow. Her name is Irene. My internet connection may or may not work over the next few days.
The Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) is gearing up for its fall college tour. For those who don’t know, GAP is a project of the Center for Bioethical Reform (CBR). GAP volunteers display huge graphic images of various horrific human rights abuses– including abortion. GAP is preparing to go to Liberty University this year, and CBR […]
Normally, I write in the voice of Secular Pro-Life, speaking on behalf of all our members. But today, I write as Kelsey Hazzard: president of Secular Pro-Life, and graduate of the University of Miami. I love UM. I have wonderful memories of my time there.

Slate has two life-related stories today. The first is originally from the Financial Times: “Lost and Found,” the story of a baby girl with a heart defect who was found in a Shanghai alley.

The researchers noted five reasons abortion is stigmatized including the fact that scientific advances have “challenged […]
Gallup recently released a poll showing that most Americans who label themselves “pro-choice” are actually supportive of common-sense limitations on abortion, such bans on third-trimester abortions (79%) and partial-birth abortions (63%). They also live up to the true meaning of “choice” by joining pro-life advocates in supporting informed consent (86%) and a 24-hour waiting period […]
Hugh Carey, who was the governor of New York from 1975 to 1982, has died of natural causes at the age of 92. Most media outlets are focusing on his noteworthy service to the state during its 1975 financial crisis. Unfortunately, Carey will not be remembered for his service to unborn children. While Carey professed […]
Editor’s note: Today’s post is by Phil. Earlier this week, I took part in some of the mass protests against Leroy Carhart’s new late-term abortion mill in Germantown, Maryland. So far, it’s a successful protest; Carhart closed for the entire week and has been getting a lot of negative publicity outing him as a late-term […]
