Oregon: Abortion Lobby Ramps Up Attack on Pregnancy Centers
/2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard[Today’s post was originally published at LifeNews.] Oregon’s state senate is considering an unconstitutional bill that would interfere with the vital work of pregnancy resource centers—and if the legislation passes, it could create a precedent for even worse attacks on pro-life charities and individuals. Pro-abortion groups have been attempting to legislate against pregnancy centers for […]
Gosnell trial updates
/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardA lot happened in the last couple of days. In case you missed anything, here’s where the trial currently stands. After the prosecution rested its case, the judge dismissed three of the eight counts of murder for insufficient evidence, then reinstated one. Several lesser charges were also dismissed. At the end of the day, though, […]
The most depressing thing you’ll read today
/5 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardWhen you hear the phrase “abortion survivor,” you might think of someone like Melissa Ohden, who was born alive after an attempt to kill her with saline. She survived with no serious health problems and is now a prominent pro-life speaker. Tragically, most abortion survivors do not survive very long. In that vein, you might […]
Empathy in the Abortion Issue
/9 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton WilcoxI’m taking a bit of a break from my critical series on Thomson’s famous essay, A Defense of Abortion, to present an article that was inspired from a conversation I had with my friend, Linda, on Facebook. I am a speaker and mentor for Justice for All, which is an organization that trains people to […]
Linguistic Sabotage, Part II
/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardLast week’s piece on terms that pro-lifers should avoid got a great response. Many of you had suggestions for additional phrases that we should remove from our vocabulary. Others had comments on the original three. Secular Pro-Life member Sarah Terzo kicked things off with a suggestion so clearly right, I’m embarrassed that I didn’t include […]
Gosnell and Abortion, Part 3 of 3
/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica SnyderIn the first post, I introduced the theme that pro-choice journalists are unconsciously avoiding directly covering the Gosnell case because it would cause cognitive dissonance and provided the first example: the Gosnell case would reveal just how liberal and out-of-touch the abortion status quo is in this country. In the second post I got to the […]
Gosnell and Abortion, Part 2 of 3
/2 Comments/in Later Abortion /by Guest Blogger[Today’s post by guest blogger Nathaniel is reprinted with permission from his blog, Difficult Run.] Yesterday I wrote the first in a series of 3 posts discussing why the mainstream media has been reluctant to cover the Kermit Gosnell case.

Gosnell and Abortion, Part 1 of 3
/1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger[Today’s post is by guest blogger Nathaniel, re-posted with permission from his blog, Difficult Run.] Less than a week after Kirsten Powers’ USA Today piece, the concerted pro-life effort to get the Gosnell trial the media attention it tragically deserves has succeeded. Sort of. There are a lot of articles being written about Gosnell, but […]
Linguistic Sabotage
/12 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardI believe that language plays a huge role in the abortion debate. And while the terms “pro-life” and “pro-choice” have been analyzed to death (no pun intended) by countless authors, there are many words and phrases, used in everyday life, that affect our cause in more subtle ways. Many are unwittingly used by pro-life advocates […]
