Democratic presidential hopeful Richard Ojeda, who launched his campaign last month, recently eviscerated any hope that he’d represent a relatively moderate alternative to his party’s stance on abortion. Back in May, The Nation described Ojeda as “avowedly pro-life,” even though he opposed legal protections for the unborn as a West Virginia state senator. Now, in […]
Every day, life is being put to an end before it even has the opportunity to begin. According to the World Health Organization, there are approximately 3,000 abortions in America per day. One study by the Guttmacher Institute found that more than half of all U.S. abortion patients in 2014 were in their 20s: patients […]

I don’t think any man is prepared for hearing that a pregnancy he helped create may be the cause of death for the mother of his child. I know the father of my child wasn’t prepared to hear that, but he did nonetheless. In his words: “You hear people say a person could die having […]
On Saturday I went to the San Francisco #LifeMatters Meetup to see SPL’s President, Kelsey Hazzard, perform some pretty excellent spoken word poetry and to hear the diverse group of speakers Rehumanize International had lined up. There were speeches from women about their experiences with pro-life activism in San Francisco as well as personal stories […]
