The #ProtestPP rallies earlier this month sparked a debate between Planned Parenthood and more radical abortion groups, particularly those with a socialist bent. Planned Parenthood strongly discouraged counter-protests, apparently fearing violence from their own supporters: “When we think about a counterprotest happening, even folks with the best intentions,” Adrienne Verrilli of Planned Parenthood of New York […]
[Today’s guest post was written by Perri.] A common self-perception that I have noticed among the pro-choice crowd is one of moral neutrality. Many see their position not as one which condones abortion, but as one which simply chooses not to answer the question of whether abortion is right or wrong. Some may even say […]
Over the course of his campaign, and again since assuming the presidency, Donald Trump has repeatedly advocated for repeal of the Johnson Amendment. Although this is widely being framed as a church-state separation issue, it actually involves non-profits of all stripes, not just churches. The New York Times summarizes the Johnson Amendment as follows: Under […]
[A version of this post was originally published on Presidents’ Day 2013.] Happy Presidents’ Day to our readers in the United States! In honor of the occasion, here are some pro-life quotes from previous occupants of the White House. I do realize that some of these quotes are pro-life only in a broad sense, and […]
Yesterday, the House of Representatives took the first step to dismantle a recently issued Dept. of Health & Human Services rule that prohibits states from prioritizing their own local health departments and other health care providers for funding. It’s been aptly described as a “parting gift to Planned Parenthood” from the Obama administration. But the […]
Gallup recently asked residents of all fifty U.S. states to identify themselves as “very religious,” moderately religious,” or “nonreligious,” and used this data to rank the states by religiosity. It found that Mississippi has the largest percentage of residents who are “very religious,” at 59%. The least religious states are concentrated in New England: Vermont […]
Tomorrow, February 11, advocates across the United States will come together to demand an end to taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. The reasons are legion. Planned Parenthood has been caught lying to women about prenatal development. It has defrauded Medicaid in multiple states. It doesn’t take statutory rape and sex trafficking of minors seriously. It […]
[Today’s guest post is by Beth Kulikov.] Women have been oppressed throughout history, in all parts of the globe. Our oppressors have been men, which is in no way meant to express an anti-man sentiment. Human nature is flawed and the human condition plagues us all. If women had been the ones with the stronger […]
Today marks the 35th anniversary of a gruesome discovery. On February 3, 1982, the Martin Container Company repossessed a storage container for non-payment. Upon opening the container, workers discovered the remains of 16,433 abortion victims. Abortion advocates reacted by going to court to block pro-lifers from offering memorial services, lest the babies be “humanized.” So […]
The first #ProtestPP demonstrations took place at Planned Parenthood facilities across the U.S. in August of 2015, in direct response to the Center for Medical Progress videos. There was a second set of rallies last October, marking Planned Parenthood’s centennial. And now that Congress is on the verge of finally defunding the unethical abortion giant […]
