I do not take divorce lightly. I generally think “til death do us part” should mean til death do you part, and if you can’t handle that, don’t get married. But of course, there are exceptions. I would never counsel someone to stay with an abusive spouse, for example. And if your spouse threatens your […]
The anniversary of Roe v. Wade—January 22—is four short months away, and we’re already making plans. Note that the 2017 March for Life in Washington, D.C., will be delayed due to the presidential inauguration, but the Walk for Life West Coast will take place on the usual date. That means that the observance will take […]
Kamaria and Ryann; photo via Public Justice Kamaria Downs, the heroine of today’s blog, is a graduate of Claflin University… despite Claflin’s outrageous attempt to derail her senior year: In 2015, when officials at Claflin University in South Carolina learned senior honors student Kamaria Downs was pregnant, they kicked her out of the dorms and […]

[Disclosure: SPL president Kelsey Hazzard is on the ERI board […]

The federal Department of Health and Human Services released a proposed rule that is quite obviously intended to siphon Title X funds to Planned Parenthood. The rule would prohibit states from prioritizing funding for its […]
On Saturday, September 10, abortion promoters are holding concerts in several cities to “make abortion access a reality.” It’s not a fundraiser, interestingly; tickets are free. Evidently email addresses and photos of a crowd of people rallying for the cause are more valuable to them at the moment than money… even though they have to […]
Mother Teresa was canonized over the weekend. The atheist blogosphere is all “Mother Teresa failed to help suffering people!” and the pro-life blogosphere is all “Look at all these great pro-life Mother Teresa quotes!” and I’m in the middle all “Awwwwkward…” The most serious of the many criticisms against Mother Teresa is that the clinics […]
