The author at the March for Life [Today’s guest post is by Rebecca Stapleford.] A common trope of the pseudo-progressive idealization of late term abortion performed on disabled fetuses is this notion that it is a loving choice, the best choice for the child, who would assuredly be born into unimaginable suffering otherwise. Writer Miranda […]
[Today’s guest post by Crystal Kupper.] I’ve never met you. I don’t speak your language. We were born on opposite sides of the world, and in some ways on completely different planets. You’re both much older than me and my husband, both in years, and, I’m guessing, hard knocks. But we share one big thing […]
[Today’s guest post is by Claudia Turcott.] I looked at the plus sign on the pregnancy test in disbelief… This couldn’t be happening. Just a short month before, I’d been told by an ob/gyn that I would need fertility treatments to ever be able to conceive. I had been having the time of my life, […]
Above: pro-choice counter-protesters hold altered signs denying post-abortive parents’ pain [Today’s guest author writes anonymously.] I was atheist, feminist, left, libertarian and pro-choice since conception. My mother was an English woman who had a weekend affair with my African American father, and then raised me on her own. She was independent, liberal and proud. She […]
[Today’s guest post is by Heather Crandall. We briefly mentioned her last week during our Thanksgiving series, but her whole story is worth the read.] Having kids is hard. Having a child out of wedlock and alone feels like a running a marathon with a boulder attached to your foot. I had gotten pregnant, after […]
[Today’s guest post by Crystal Kupper is part of our paid blogging program.] I woke up last week with two identical news stories from friends posted to my Facebook page: five-time national champion Alysia Montano ran a whopping 34 seconds slower than her personal best in the 800-meter event at the U.S. Track and Field […]
[Today’s guest post by Kris Skul is part of our paid blogging program.] We already know that religious arguments against abortion are ineffective at reaching a general audience—that’s why Secular Pro-Life exists. But not every secular defense is airtight, either. Many common pro-life arguments are readily refuted by abortion supporters, even if they make […]
Nope! Where may I collect? [Today’s guest blogger is anonymous.] While a stereotype out there about pro-lifers is that we’re prudish virgins who all hate sex, that’s not true. You can be pro-life and still have sex. Plenty of us have, myself included. But I always have sex with the thought in the back of […]
Today’s blog post is by guest blogger Nick Reynosa. In a 2010 survey, Americans stated that the group of people that they trust the least is people of no religion. The study went on to say that Americans see irreligion as more suspect than other controversial lifestyles, including homosexuality. In this less than welcoming […]
[Today’s guest post is by K. Misener.] I recently became aware of a book which looks at the pro-life movement from an academic perspective – “The Making of Pro-Life Activists: How Social Movement Mobilization Works” by sociology professor Ziad Munson. In contrast to the common stereotype that pro-lifers are all part of some unified conservative Christian […]
