The Improbability of Dobbs

January 31, 2025 in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

[Today’s post is by Acyutananda. Read more of his thoughts on his blog: No Termination Without Representation] The March for Life takes place every year approximately on the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. For forty-nine out of the fifty-two marches so far, the main actionable demand was the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Only in […]

The Trent Horn vs. Destiny Debate: “That’s Exactly What I’m Doing”

January 11, 2024 in Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

Photo Credit: Austin Distel on Unsplash This debate was a three-ring circus in terms of complexity. The viewer needs to keep his or her eye on at least three discussions at once. The discussions that I will number 2 and 3 here tend to fade out and get revived periodically over the course of the […]

Was “I” Never an Embryo?

December 1, 2023 in Biology, Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

Photo Credit Viviana Rishe on Unsplash Psychological approaches to personal identity are normally used to argue that since an embryo doesn’t have a psychology (doesn’t have a mind), it doesn’t have a continuous identity with more highly-developed, “smarter”, stages of the organism that will follow the embryo stage; and that therefore if you kill an […]

Dobbs is Bearing Out a 45-Year-Old Pro-Life Feminist Theory

July 18, 2022 /1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

[Today’s guest article is by Acyutananda.] There is a particular pro-life feminist theory which I have sometimes reiterated in Secular Pro-Life blogposts: The removal of abortion as an easy option ensures that people will protest strongly for better conditions for women. Why bother to protest strongly, which is a lot of trouble, as long as […]

“No Uterus, No Opinion”: Four Responses

June 28, 2021 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

Whenever anyone says to me, “Men can’t get pregnant, so they shouldn’t talk about abortion – more often sloganized in the form of “No Uterus, No Opinion” – I am torn between responses. There are four ways that I could reply. If not possible or worth it to cover all four of them, I have […]

“Special Pleading for Embryos”: A Response

June 11, 2021 /0 Comments/in Bodily Rights, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

About a week ago as I write this, a pro-choicer tweeted to tell me that I grant women “fewer rights than a corpse.” Then the next day, another accused me in a tweet of “special pleading for embryos.” A few days after that another said, “Why do unborn people deserve special rights that no other […]

A Beacon of Hope: Abortion Advocates Admit Roe’s Days are Numbered

October 23, 2020 /1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

Young pro-life advocates stand outside the Supreme Court, wearing judicial wigs and robes and carrying signs in support of Judge Barrett’s confirmation. Photo credit: Students for Life of America on Facebook It looks like a nightmare pro-abortion horde is about to take over this country. According to polling, the presidency, House and Senate will all […]

Christopher Hitchens Wound Up Opposing Abortion Choice

April 8, 2020 /0 Comments/in Religion, Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

[Today’s guest post is by Acyutananda.] During his lifetime, Christopher Hitchens seems to have been consistent always in perceiving the rightful place of the unborn as members of our human family; yet he seems to have been “all over the map” regarding public policy on abortion. He said different things about law and policy at […]

Pro-Life Democrat Draws out the Well-Rehearsed Dishonesty of a Pro-Abortion Candidate

January 29, 2020 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

At a town hall in Des Moines on January 26, Kristen Day, the president of Democrats for Life of America, asked Pete Buttigieg whether he would support the Democratic Party platform’s reverting to some language similar to language it had used in 1996 and for several years thereafter. The 1996 platform had contained this: The […]

Should We Make Abortion Unthinkable, or Should We Make Children Convenient?

September 25, 2019 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

Most people who identify as pro-life are advocates of legal restrictions on abortion. But there are some also who actively oppose abortion, yet do not want it to be outlawed, or at least do not want to make any efforts to outlaw it; their focus is on cultural attitude changes made possible mainly by better […]
