Background: Teresa Lewis is a death row inmate in Virginia. She was convicted of masterminding a plot to kill her husband and stepson, although she did not pull the trigger herself. There’s considerable controversy over Lewis’ mental capacity. Her supporters say that she’s borderline mentally retarded; the prosecution says that’s ridiculous. But the real media […]
An easy, free way to help the pro-life movement is to participate in research! I’d like to bring two projects to your attention. First, a Cornell student is working on a research paper regarding support for incrementalism in the pro-life movement. He is looking for blog comment threads, discussion fora, recorded conversations, etc. on this […]
Jen Roth, a longtime SecularProLife.org supporter and the co-founder of All Our Lives, was recently interviewed on Point of Inquiry, an atheist online radio program. She discusses the human rights argument against abortion, noting that this secular argument is used by religious and non-religious pro-lifers alike. I especially liked this comment, which really says it […]
From LifeNews.com: A man who had been verbally harassing pro-lifers outside a late-term abortion center in Albuquerque for days, escalated his abuse to violence yesterday by driving his large paneled delivery truck up on a curb and striking the large pro-life sign held by Bud Shaver. Shaver was unhurt in the incident but his sign […]

Tea partier Christine O’Donnell won the Delaware Republican primary, causing the media to go into a tizzy. Political pundits are speculating wildly about the chances of the tea party movement being a massive political force come November. I’m not going to make any predictions either way. I just want to take a moment to note […]
1) Abortionist Rapin Osathanondh took a plea deal in his trial for the 2007 botched-abortion death of Laura Hope Smith. His guilty plea for involuntary manslaughter came on the third anniversary of Smith’s death. Sentencing will take place later today and is expected to be fairly light: the 67-year-old, who has already agreed to stop […]
Editor’s note: As part of our new Secular Sidewalk program, Monday blog posts will be written by sidewalk counselors. This week, our guest blogger is Heather from Virginia. So as I stated in my last post, I go to Planned Parenthood every Saturday when they perform abortions to offer better options to pregnant girls. Now […]
Schoolwork has caught up with me. Heather will blog on Monday, and I’ll be back Tuesday.
Back in July, Live Action wondered why Planned Parenthood’s 2008 annual report was delayed. It has now arrived, and the figures show that Planned Parenthood has focused more on abortions and less on its supposed core services. (The total number of abortions done in the United States is decreasing.) The new Planned Parenthood figures show […]
