I learned through LiveActionFilms on Twitter that Mildred Jefferson, one of the original founders of the National Right to Life Committee, has passed away. She was 84 years old. Dr. Jefferson was the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School, among many other accomplishments. I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Jefferson briefly […]
For some reason, it seems that a disproportionate number of causes have chosen October as their awareness month. We all realize that it’s breast cancer awareness month, of course. I also assume that you’re aware of the Susan G. Komen Planned Parenthood funding issue. The Bioethics Defense Fund recommends that you give to the National […]
It appears that abortion advocates will not bring a lawsuit against a Nebraska law banning abortions after 20 weeks: The legislation has been hailed by pro-life advocates across the country for its innovative approach and focusing the public’s attention on unborn babies who have been medically documented as pain capable at 20 weeks gestation. “This […]
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.

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.
