Which States Have Protected the Right to Life?

August 17, 2022/0 Comments/in Legislation, laws, and court cases, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Nearly two months after Dobbs v. Jackson, the legal landscape has changed dramatically. Under the Roe regime, babies younger than 24 weeks were utterly defenseless, and even older babies often could be legally killed. Today, fifteen states recognize the humanity of children in the womb.

A Briefing on International Law and Abortion

August 12, 2022/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest article is by Dr. Calum Miller.] Introduction Opponents of the right to life often claim that abortion is a human right, and that “the UN says so.” Neither of these is true. While some UN agencies and treaty bodies with no legal authority often advocate for abortion against the explicit position of many […]

Is personhood derived from past, present, or future consciousness?

August 5, 2022/0 Comments/in Personhood, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Today’s post is by Andrew Scherer I’ve thought a lot about what makes anyone a “person.” Perhaps “personhood” has only ever been a label that humanity has used as a linguistic gate-keeping device in order to justify oppression, cruelty, and the killing of people they do not like and want to eliminate. Can anyone else […]

Abortion is on the Ballot in Kansas Tomorrow

August 1, 2022/0 Comments/in Legislation, laws, and court cases, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Tomorrow, voters will decide whether to add a pro-life amendment to the Kansas constitution. In 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court struck down the state’s ban on dismemberment abortions. The dismemberment method, also known as “dilation & evacuation” or “D & E,” is used after the first trimester, when unborn babies are too large to kill […]

Kentucky Judge Rejects Modern Science, Blocks Abortion Ban

July 25, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Legislation, laws, and court cases, Religion, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Kentucky Judge Mitch Perry temporarily enjoined the state’s pro-life laws, laughably claiming that recognition of human life in the womb is an establishment of religion. Ninety-five percent of biologists, including a strong majority of those who consider themselves pro-choice, acknowledge the scientific reality that human life begins at fertilization. Even the Justices who decided Roe […]
