Mother Teresa was canonized over the weekend. The atheist blogosphere is all “Mother Teresa failed to help suffering people!” and the pro-life blogosphere is all “Look at all these great pro-life Mother Teresa quotes!” and I’m in the middle all “Awwwwkward…” The most serious of the many criticisms against Mother Teresa is that the clinics […]
The internet is a wonderful thing. Obviously. How did we ever live without facebook, YouTube, and cat memes? But the internet has also made it easy for racist, fascist types to find each other and spew venom. You may have heard Hillary Clinton’s speech about the “alt Right” recently. Cracked (not just a humor mag!) […]
Say #HelloHyde to Gina. She is the daughter of Cuban immigrants and became a pro-life activist while attending the University of Florida. The 40th anniversary of the Hyde Amendment will take place on September 30, 2016! We are so excited to celebrate this milestone. The Hyde Amendment restricts taxpayer funding of abortion through the […]
I really want to like MTV’s “If Famous Movie Romances Were Feminist” video: Unpopular opinion: I’ve always had a deep-seated hatred for Grease, not only because of the “did she put up a fight” line this sketch takes issue with, but also because of the royally screwed up message you get from the movie’s conclusion.

There’s what Planned Parenthood says, and then there’s what Planned Parenthood does. In a recent Washington Post puff piece on Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, the message is that Planned Parenthood is proud of its abortion practice and doing everything it can to publicize it: One hundred years after Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger began educating […]
From what I can gather, Marie Stopes is basically the UK’s version of Planned Parenthood. Except that Planned Parenthood would engage in a multi-million dollar lawsuit rather than allow this: From the Telegraph From the BBC From the Guardian Inspectors found that Marie Stopes failed to ensure that teenage abortion customers were giving informed consent, […]
Entire neighborhoods have been flooded Care Pregnancy Clinic in Baton Rouge, LA is a medically staffed pro-life pregnancy resource center. It provides pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, housing assistance, counseling, maternity and baby supplies, and other services to thousands of vulnerable families. And it has fallen victim to massive flooding in southern Louisiana. (Don’t feel bad if […]
Wait a minute. Didn’t we just have Life/Peace/Justice Conference? Yes. Traditionally, the Life/Peace/Justice Conference has been held at Villanova University in April. But the organizers are shaking things up. It will henceforth be in held in the fall, and that means two LPJ conferences for 2016. The conference will take place on Friday, October 21 […]
Abortion reporting is always a few years behind; the best data we have is from 2011. In that year, the abortion rate in the United States hit a record low. As the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute notes, abortion rates have fallen even in states that are traditionally hostile to the right to life. The plummeting demand […]
