Over at Slate, abortion supporter Christina Cauterucci has an article about the phrase “except in the womb.” To call it an “article” is a bit generous. It’s really more of a rant. The thesis is basically “I do not like it when anti-abortion people say this.” Still, her annoyance is at least partially justified. For […]
[The original FB post where we collected these answers can be found here. We’ve since created a FB album with more such perspectives here.] Recently, “The Good Place” star Jameela Jamil tweeted the following: Text reads: “I had an abortion when I was young, and it was the best decision I have ever made. Both for me, […]
Every life has equal worth. However, not all lives are treated with dignity. For instance, society commonly favors the lives of non-disabled people over disabled people. This preference even appears in the debate about the legality of abortions. A common argument pro-choicers pose is that a woman should get an abortion if she is not […]
In January, we wrote about the passage of laws against Down Syndrome abortion in North Dakota, Indiana, and Ohio, and mentioned that Indiana’s law had been struck down but was on appeal. Unfortunately, last Friday, a three-judge panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeal ruled against Indiana’s protection of babies with Down Syndrome. Judge Manion […]
Above: Down Syndrome advocate Frank Stephens testifies before Congress Last month, Ohio passed a law to prohibit doctors from committing abortions sought in response to a prenatal diagnosis of Down Syndrome.

The Jacksons always knew they wanted a large family from the beginning. Jennifer and her husband Richard have enjoyed the family lifestyle: bowling, movies, water fights, being outdoors together, and actively participating in their church. In February 2016, the Jackson family found out they’d be adding another child to their home and everyone was ecstatic! […]
A gym teacher of mine once promised to “separate the men from the boys.” While I’m sure that would provoke a lawsuit today, the abortion industry is still separating the girls… …from their arms, legs, and torsos. By 16 weeks, a child’s sex is usually visible on an ultrasound, and for too many girls, that’s […]
[Today’s guest post by Feleica Langdon is part of our paid blogging program. Feleica is a provincial pro-life speaker in Newfoundland, founder of Life Defenders, and the regional coordinator in NL of Campaign Life Coalition working alongside the provincial coordinator, Margaret Hynes.] When Jeannie Ewing was pregnant with Sarah—her second child with her husband Ben—everything […]
In the UK, abortion is legal up to 24 weeks typically—but in cases where the fetus has disabilities, the woman can obtain abortion at any time throughout pregnancy. Recently a UK lawmaker with disabilities, Lord Kevin Shinkwin, spoke out about this double standard: I can see from the trends in abortion on grounds of disability […]
The author at the March for Life [Today’s guest post is by Rebecca Stapleford.] A common trope of the pseudo-progressive idealization of late term abortion performed on disabled fetuses is this notion that it is a loving choice, the best choice for the child, who would assuredly be born into unimaginable suffering otherwise. Writer Miranda […]
