Pro-life leaders are not happy about a recent statement by Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, who is widely considered to be on the short list for the GOP presidential candidacy in 2012. The statement was made in an interview that the Weekly Standard published on Tuesday: Daniels told the conservative publication the next president “would have […]
For those of you who don’t follow American politics, an important bundle of primary elections took place yesterday. The media took notice of the fact that many of yesterday’s winners are women: Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, Nikki Haley of South Carolina (who faces a runoff election), Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman of California, and Sharron […]
Update: Rev. Mahoney did get arrested. The arrest (and the fence) will be challenged in court. Pro-life activists in D.C. will either be arrested or vindicated today. Operation Rescue says that during litigation over a decade ago, they discovered that the sidewalk and lawn outside of this Washington, D.C. abortion center were public property. Since […]
The Gates Foundation, through Melinda Gates, has announced that the Foundation will spend $1.5 billion dollars promoting maternal health. It sounds great on paper, but the trouble is that their definition of “maternal health” may include legalized abortion– which is actually associated with higher rates of maternal mortality. The Gates Foundation has acquired a reputation […]
Today’s topic: abortions for really stupid reasons. I want to be clear that these are not the majority of abortions. In fact, most abortion decisions are made under some form of coercion. Others are influenced by medically inaccurate “counseling” from abortion businesses. I am convinced that the type of abortion I am about to discuss […]
You’re getting your Saturday post early because of the application deadline in the first item. Students for Life of America (SFLA) has announced the Wilberforce Fellowship, in which campus pro-life advocates are mentored by leaders of national pro-life organizations. It sounds like a great opportunity for people who are interested in a career in the […]
Our polar opposite, the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, has been around for a long time. But recently, I’ve noticed an uptick in abortion advocates using religious language in their propoganda. Take this bizarre little gem, from RH Reality Check: Tiller finds good company among the ancient prophets who spoke truth to power, who kept […]
Our friends at All Our Lives need your votes for their entry at Conversations for a Better World. Jill Stanek highlights this excellent Wall Street Journal editorial by William McGurn, which asks “When will our media reflect America on abortion?” Some abortion advocates maintain the fiction that they are not really former fetuses, because their […]
From LifeNews.com: An Australia abortion facility worker is facing more accusations that he infected dozens of women with hepatitis C during abortions. The heath chief of the Australian state of Victoria released the accusations against the abortion practitioner in April. Since then, the number of potential victims has jumped from 12 to 44 as the […]
In my ongoing effort to reach across the aisle, I’ve acquired some radically pro-abortion facebook friends. The following image speaks for itself. Scott Roeder’s murder of Tiller was immoral, horrific, and every other negative adjective you can think of. It also probably set the pro-life movement back years; had Roeder ever bothered to talk to […]
