Though we usually focus on abortion, today I’m writing about the Washington Post’s embryonic stem cell research article. Last September, Timothy Atchison received 2 million cells (a small amount) developed from human embryonic stem cells in the effort to reverse his paralysis. He damaged the oligodendrocytes (they insulate the nerves) around his T7 vertebra. They […]
Jill Stanek‘s blog features political cartoons every Sunday. This one was too good not to share with you all.If you have a hard time with the font, he’s saying “It’s time to stop all the silly political rhetoric and get down to working on this budget with the GOP which wants ALL WOMEN TO DIE […]
The Center for Bioethical Reform says “Most of the people who are working to kill babies are full-time, paid professionals while most of the people working to save them are part-time, amateur volunteers.” There’s something to that. If you’re a committed pro-life advocate who wants to do more, consider a full-time job in the movement! […]
Earlier this week my history class discussed the modern feminist movement. From my lecture notes: “In 1970 NOW launched major action: Women’s Strike For Equality. This was across the US and the demands were equal pay for equal work, universal child care and the legalization of abortion. ‘We are the 51% minority.’ Even this moderate agenda was polarizing.

Normally I’d be providing a midweek news roundup, probably talking about the new abortion legislation in Kansas or the bill that just sent to committee regarding sonograms in Texas. Instead, today I leave you with an excerpt from a New York Times article entitled, “A Campaign Against Girls in India.” Gender-selective abortion in becoming a […]
China has announced a plan to modify its one-child policy by 2015, allowing families to give birth to two children. Pro-lifers have long criticized the one-child policy as a violation of human rights. Pro-life leaders are rightfully skeptical that a two-child policy will be much better. Steven Mosher of the Population Research Institute, a Catholic […]
As soon as Planned Parenthood keeps unborn children alive, we’ll be happy to return the favor!
Budget negotiations are intensifying; ABC News is calling today “Shutdown D-Day.” Taxpayer funding for scandal-plagued Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, is a huge sticking point. Some pro-abortion Democrats have signaled that they would rather see a government shutdown than end funding for Planned Parenthood. Democrats for Life president Kristen Day cautioned that such […]
Today is World Health Day. To mark the occassion, The A Word has suggested that pro-life blogs write on the theme “Abortion Is Not Health Care.” The central objections to abortion are based upon the human rights of the unborn child, as well they should be. This means that secondary arguments are often overlooked; one […]
Did someone order a midweek news roundup today? No? Well here’s one anyway. Domestic News: A bill in Montana which would have prevented federal / state money for the recent health care reform act’s health care exchanges to be used for abortions was vetoed by Governor Brian Schweitzer (D). Schweitzer said that “…the measure violates […]
