My apologies for not posting yesterday. SecularProLife.org has been very busy! On Thursday night, I joined Heather (our every-other-Monday secular sidewalk blogger) for a presentation at Liberty University. It was a resounding success! The pro-life students of Liberty were open to our ideas about reaching outside the conservative Christian bubble, and we had a respectful, […]
People happily acknowledge that graphic images can bring home the truth and save lives, as long as the context isn’t abortion! The federal government has proposed requiring cigarette manufacturers to include graphic photographs of cancer-striken people and organs on their packaging. From the Washington Post: The proposed warnings include one containing an image of man […]
The Planned Parenthood in Lawrence, Kansas, which mainly targeted the unborn children of University of Kansas students, has closed. Only three abortion businesses remain in the state. One of these is the Overland Park center, which is charged with 107 criminal violations and has dragged out the case for years. In North Dakota, state officials […]
The Life Prizes are $100,000 awards given to six pro-life individuals or organizations. First awarded in 2008, they skipped a year for some reason, but will be awarded again in 2010. The 2008 winners were announced on November 18, 2008, so I expect that the names of the 2010 winners will be released shortly. Who […]
I always love the chance to share uplifting stories! Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, one of the most successful state-level pro-life groups in the country, is sending representatives to meet with pro-life leaders in Africa. Even cooler? Some of said leaders are Muslim. Executive Director Scott Fischbach will speak at meetings in four East African […]
Although abortion advocates desperately want abortion to be considered a legitimate medical practice, they have also led the fight to deregulate abortion businesses in the name of access. That’s led to situations which make a mockery of the claim that abortion is health care. For instance, I would never in a million years expect that […]
Everyone else has covered the election results more than adequately. I really don’t want to blog about it, but there are no other stories in the pro-life press. So instead, allow me to share this cute-yet-depressing cartoon by Clay Bennett of the Chatanooga Times Free Press.
There’s really only one story today: the election! If you’re eligible to vote and haven’t voted yet, today is your last chance. The National Right to Life Committee will provide updates throughout the evening as results come in. FiveThirtyEight predicts that Republicans will make considerable gains in state offices and both houses of Congress, but […]
The World Economic Forum recently released its 2010 Global Gender Gap Report. By comparing men and women on measures such as salaries, political participation, literacy, and health, the WEF report ranks nations on their achievement of gender equality. Unsurprisingly, high equality was found to correllate with economic prosperity. What I found illuminating is that, despite […]
Live Action reports that Planned Parenthood has settled a lawsuit against them in Washington state. An audit shows that Planned Parenthood overbilled the state by $629,143. Under the settlement, they only have to pay back a little over half of that ($345k). Jill Stanek reports that Planned Parenthood is trying to censor the videos which […]
