Last week, Dr. Gerard Nadal wrote a piece on “force concentration,” which a number of pro-life bloggers found to be worth sharing. It basically posits that pro-life efforts are more effective when various groups cooperate and share resources. He’s undoubtedly correct. But there’s agreeing with someone, and then there’s listening. If anything, pro-life infighting has […]

No, not for the unborn children he killed. Not for the two mothers he killed in botched abortions, either. After years of legal wrangling, Alabama abortionist Malachy DeHenre will serve 20 years in prison for the murder of his wife. He joins the esteemed ranks of abortionists Thomas Neill Cream, Conroy James Hayes, John Gwynne, […]
Nulono points me to this article, which basically says that Dr. New’s statements have been taken out of context and that her efforts are actually meant to treat a serious medical condition. Without knowing the relationship between Dr. Maria New and Dr. Alice Dreger (who first voiced her concern about New’s work in Bioethics Forum), […]

Abortion advocate Rachel Larris–whose résumé includes such “prestigious” employers as RH Reality Check–has created abortion victim cookies. She put a picture on twitter with the comment that they “inspire my evil side.” You don’t say. Survivors of the Aboriton Holocaust had […]
Charmaine Yoest, the president of pro-life legal think tank Americans United for Life (AUL), will testify before the Senate tomorrow afternoon. Her written testimony has already been released. The highlights: I am here to express AUL’s opposition to the nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the United States Supreme Court. Based on our research, […]
The Supreme Court just ruled on Christian Legal Society (CLS) v. Martinez. The issue in the case was whether or not Hastings College of Law could strip the CLS of its recognized status because of its refusal to allow non-Christian and (more controversially) non-heterosexual students into the club. The Court ruled that Hastings’ actions were […]

The cutoff of funds for ASCR was accomplished in Section 5, revoking a prior executive order by former president George W. Bush. Pro-lifers have long supported ASCR […]
