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 […]
The end of summer will be here before we know it, and our many student members will be heading back to school. What ideas do you have for spreading the pro-life message this semester?
Dubuque County Right to Life is participating in a contest to win an office makeover valued at $15,000. DCRTL is a non-partisan, non-sectarian voice for life in Iowa, where telemed abortion poses a major threat to unborn children.

The National Right to Life Committee and NARAL Pro-Choice America have each released reports on the Republican field of presidential candidates. They agree that all of the most prominent candidates oppose abortion. It appears that pro-life groups have mostly forgiven Romney’s earlier opposition to prenatal rights– and that his former pro-choice supporters have officially bailed […]
The Minnesota Department of Health just announced the state’s 2010 abortion statistics. Abortions dropped 7% from 2009. This is the fourth straight year of decline, and the lowest number of abortions since the mid-1970s! The decline is unusual, because the state’s population has grown considerably since 1975. In addition, we would expect the number of […]
Two pro-life victories to bring to your attention today! An Orlando jury held that late-term abortionist James Pendergraft must pay $36 million to the victim of a botched abortion. The baby girl he attempted to kill is now ten years old; she suffers from cerebral palsy and other serious health problems as a result of […]
Jill Stanek just closed a poll on the question “What needs to happen first for the pro-life movement to acheive its goal of stopping abortion?” I thought the results were pretty interesting. The most popular answer, by far, was “Change public opinion on abortion,” at 36.6%. My own pick was “Get more media supporting the […]
Students for Life of America (SFLA) reports that AbolishAbortion.com has been hacked. AbolishAbortion.com connected pro-life students with opportunities for activism, such as internships at major pro-life organizations; it also let users set up automatic pro-life status updates for facebook and twitter. Currently, the site has no function at all. SFLA fairly assumes that AbolishAbortion.com was […]
