The Delhi High Court granted a pregnant mother’s request to abort her baby at 33 weeks, Bar and Bench reports, reversing a hospital committee ruling that would have protected the child.

Recently, Vox and Slate each ran articles on how to raise pro-abortion children. Alas, both missed the opportunity to use the title Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Pro-Life. News editors are no fun. At Vox, we have “It’s important to talk to your kids about abortion. Here’s how.” Author Alex Hazlett […]
Okay, stop me if you’ve heard this one: Bodily autonomy means every person has control over how their body is used. It’s why you can’t be forced to donate organs, even if you’re dead. By saying a fetus has a right to use a woman’s body, you’re making it so that women have less bodily […]
