First, the bad news. Most of you have probably already heard that abortion advocates have targeted New York City for an anti-pregnancy clinic effort similar to those in Baltimore and Austin. The proposed measure would force pro-life pregnancy centers to put signs on their doors saying that they don’t perform abortions and don’t “provide … […]
A coalition of Iowa pro-life organizations has announced a town hall meeting on the subject of telemed abortions. It will be held on Friday, October 22, 2010 at 5:30pm at the Downtown Church, 323 E Locust St. in Des Moines, Iowa. Invited speakers include a range of pro-life leaders, legislators, and political candidates. Earlier that […]
Actor Michael Caine, 77, revealed in a recent interview that he requested euthanasia for his father back in 1955: Although the doctor told him he could not hasten his death, Caine said he honoured his request and discreetly gave his father, then aged 56, an overdose. “My father had cancer of the liver and I […]
Back in September, Linda Meek was charged with “making false or misleading statements” regarding a suspicious item in a trash bin at the Reproductive Services abortion center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She has now plead guilty. Meek was the executive director of Reproductive Services, but for obvious reasons, she isn’t anymore. At the time, the details […]
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 […]
