Today is the Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity, in which pro-lifers take a vow of silence in memory of those whose voices were permanently silenced by abortion. The event is sponsored by Stand True: Christ-Centered Pro-Life but is open to people of all faiths. It’s a popular way for high school and college students to […]
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 […]

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.
