Usually they use these descriptions because they are trying to show that, relative to abortion, unwanted pregnancy is not a very severe situation to endure. I do agree that abortion (in […]
The male-dominated abortion industry?
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardRecently, a question was posed on our facebook page: are abortionists more likely than the general population of doctors to be male? Male abortionists in the news (such as Kermit Gosnell, pictured) may cause us to perceive the abortion industry as male-dominated. To answer this question, we look to two sources.

/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardKiessling holds a sign: “Conceived from rape. I love my life.” At the March for Life, I had the good fortune to bump into my friend Rebecca Kiessling.

West Coast recap: “Just your existence makes a difference.”
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica SnyderLast Saturday fellow SPL supporters and I marched in the West Coast Walk for Life through downtown San Francisco.
