In Defense of Graphic Images
/6 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard[Today’s post by Alycia Hartley is part of our paid blogging program.

Church, State, and License Plate
/14 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardWhen I first heard that Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee cited church-state separation when vetoing a bill for Choose Life license plates, I rolled my eyes.

Pro-choice groups say subway ads are a form of intimidation
/5 Comments/in Uncategorized /by LNYes, you heard right. Offering free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and counseling is super-duper intimidating. Pro-choice groups (NARAL) are up in arms against ads from EMC Frontline Pregnancy Centers, a pro-life group. According to Andrea Miller, Executive Director of NARAL, “there should be truth in advertising.” Alternatives to abortion?? False advertising! There are no alternatives to […]
The Abortion Religion
/19 Comments/in Religion, Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardAverage “pro-choice” people in America are actually quite moderate. They support a ban on abortions after the first trimester.

This is […]
