In Iowa, Planned Parenthood has done 1900 telemed abortions. In a telemed abortion, the patient is not examined by a doctor in person; instead, the abortionist “counsels” her over a video chat, and then remotely opens a drawer which dispenses RU-486. Operation Rescue has been leading the way as far as legal challenges to this […]
I’ve noticed that some politically conservative Facebook friends of mine are linking to Objectivist articles, becoming fans of Ayn Rand, etc. For those who are unfamiliar with Objectivism, Wikipedia has a decent summary. For those who are too lazy to read it, a key Objectivist belief is that following one’s rational self-interest is the moral […]
Yesterday morning, Tennessee abortionist Gary Boyle was arrested for pulling a gun on pro-life protestors, including a teenager. No shots were fired and no one was injured. Boyle is out on bail. Although I have never been physically threatened (knock on wood), the incident got me thinking about what steps pro-life activists can take to […]
Feminists for Life reports that Pregnancy Assistance Fund monies have been awarded to 17 states and 13 tribes for the purpose of assisting pregnant mothers in need: The first portion of the Fund’s legislation is based on FFL’s seventeen years of work on college campuses to address the unmet needs of pregnant women, birthmothers, and […]
You’d think this statement would be obvious to the Department of Justice and the FBI, but as usual, pro-lifers are treated differently. It’s come to light that the DOJ and FBI co-sponsored a seminar with various abortion groups on how to censor pro-life activism. Now, I would have absolutely no problem with this if the […]
As anyone who’s been doing pro-life work for an appreciable length of time is aware, coerced abortion is a huge problem in the United States. The promise of “choice” has been rendered illusory by parents, boyfriends, and abusers. These cases are rarely publicized (notwithstanding a recent exception for a Brazilian celebrity). The risk is especially […]
You may have already seen this, as it’s getting a lot of press, but let’s discuss it from a pro-life angle. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life has released the results of a 32-question religious quiz it administered to over 3400 Americans. Atheists and agnostics got an average of 20.9 questions correct, about […]
Warning: this post contains profanity and some other things that the easily disturbed probably shouldn’t read. If you aren’t familiar with Lamebook, it’s a repository of stupid, amusing, and lame Facebook posts. (If you aren’t familiar with Facebook, we have a problem.) On Thursday, Lamebook featured a series of semi-coherent posts by “Kasey,” who was […]
On Monday, LifeNews.com featured an article entitled “Poll: Religion Key in Shaping Abortion Opinions, Mostly for Pro-Life People.” While I don’t necessarily agree that it showed religion to be “key,” I did find the data to be quite interesting. Of course, raw data only takes us so far; we have to interpret it. 45% of […]
Background: Teresa Lewis is a death row inmate in Virginia. She was convicted of masterminding a plot to kill her husband and stepson, although she did not pull the trigger herself. There’s considerable controversy over Lewis’ mental capacity. Her supporters say that she’s borderline mentally retarded; the prosecution says that’s ridiculous. But the real media […]
