I’ve struggled with how to approach this post. I don’t put much stock in the “war on Christmas,” but it does seem silly to pretend that people are merely celebrating “the holidays.” In fact, I’ve noticed that many of our atheist members are preparing to celebrate Christmas with their families. (No suprise there, really: most […]
Pro-life advocacy groups and members of Congress put a lot of emphasis on Supreme Court nominations, and for good reason. Only the Supreme Court can overturn Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, which would allow pro-life states to legally protect unborn children before the arbitrary point of viability. It’s easy to forget the important […]
Two doctors are reportedly training to become abortionists, with plans to set up shop in Wichita, Kansas. One of them, Mila Means, has a past: Means has a troubled past that includes disciplinary action taken against her medical license for the misuse of psychiatry in her family practice, having improper personal relationships with patients, and […]
Over the last few years, numerous scientific breakthroughs have shown that adult cells can be made to behave like embryonic stem cells. These “induced pluripotent stem cells” have great promise. Not only are they more ethical than embryonic stem cells, but since they can be derived from the same patient who needs treatment, they don’t […]
The Department of Defense authorization bill, which contained both taxpayer funding of abortion (the Burris Amendment) and the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, has failed to pass. Now, a standalone piece of legislation has been introduced to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. By divorcing it from the abortion issue, LGBT advocates may be able […]
I won’t leave you hanging: the answer is that pro-lifers must follow the scientific evidence wherever it leads. Recently, Steven Mosher of the Population Research Institute wrote an article for LifeNews.com, rightfully denouncing Ted Turner’s call for a global one-child policy. (Turner, he writes, fathered five kids but “has often publicly regretted having so many […]
HLI America is a part of Human Life International, a Catholic group opposed to birth control. So when I saw that they had released a survey of 800 women regarding hormonal contraceptive use, I took it with a grain of salt. Their interpretation emphasizes the negative; the HLI America website gives it the title “The […]
H.R. 5953 is a proposed piece of legislation designed to help meet the needs of women who have served the United States in the military by posting “Women Veterans Bill of Rights” signs in Veterans Affairs offices. It includes a provision that will hopefully improve female veterans’ awareness of their ability to access health care. […]
Today is World AIDS Day. Here are some HIV/AIDS facts that every pro-life advocate should know. HIV testing is an important aspect of prenatal care. If a pregnant mother is HIV-positive, medications can be prescribed to prevent the baby from becoming infected. The sooner your ob/gyn knows your HIV status, the better! The best way […]
In response to a petition by abortion advocates led by Change.org, Apple has removed an app by the Manhattan Declaration from its store. The Manhattan Declaration is a conservative Christian coalition document. It expresses support for the right to life, but is not a single-issue declaration: it also touches on same-sex marriage (which they oppose), […]
