[Today’s guest post by Beth Kulikov is part of our paid blogging program.] My husband likes to watch videos of conflict and controversy on YouTube. I recently overheard a speaker addressing a crowd in an open debate at which one young man stated that “the first breath” endows an individual with personhood. Interesting concept; I’d […]
7 and a half week old human, via the Endowment for Human Development [Today’s guest post by Lauren Matthews is part of our paid blogging program.] Most of us have seen the insensitive pro-choice signs that people hold at marches and rallies. They say things like “abortion on demand and without apology” or “hoes before […]
[Today’s guest post by Erica Shupe is part of our paid blogging program.] There you’re waking up in the morning just like any other morning, but this morning turns different quickly.

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.

[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.
