Support for preborn children and born children aren’t mutually exclusive When someone asks me what I’m doing about resources for born children, my initial reaction is often anger and defensiveness, for two reasons: 1) Because nobody ever says “If you oppose infanticide, you’d better be out there advocating for free and universal day care!” Freedom […]
I’d like to take a moment to respond to a meme that I have seen floating around Facebook: Essentially, this meme is stating that if women can’t back out of pregnancy, then men shouldn’t be able to, either. This is one of those arguments that pro-choice people should be able to immediately recognize as a […]
Photo taken at last January’s March for Life in Washington, D.C. On Wednesday, abortion advocates introduced a bill to pay for elective abortions with federal taxpayer funds. The bill “targets the Hyde Amendment, a 1976 provision that blocks federal money from going to pay for abortions, with exceptions for cases of rape or incest or […]
As we draw closer to another presidential election, and amid a new Gallup poll indicating a decline in American’s who consider themselves pro-life, the so called “abortion war” is heating up. The pro-choice side has taken to social media, and opinion columns responding to the nations tightening restrictions on abortion, by claiming that being pro-choice […]

The one person who can’t fight back. [Today’s guest post by Acyutananda is part of our paid blogging program.] Let’s look at abortion in terms of problem-solving. What is the problem?

Have you ever encountered a conversation that goes, roughly, like this? Pro-lifer: When I was pregnant, everyone told me I should have an abortion. But today, my child is the light of my life. Pro-choicer: You made a CHOICE about your pregnancy. You’re a hypocrite for trying to take CHOICE away from other women. Of […]
For the immediate future, Texas abortion businesses will not have to meet the same safety standards as other outpatient surgical centers. The regulation has been tied up in court since its passage almost two years ago. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the abortion industry plaintiffs on June 9, holding that the safety […]
Above: Demonstrators await the Supreme Court’s decision on same-sex marriage On June 4, Ryan Bomberger of the Radiance Foundation called out LGBT rights leaders for their hypocritical support of abortion. In particular, he cited Lambda Legal’s statement that “reproductive freedom and LGBT rights have been inextricably linked both legally and politically. The ties between these […]
Over the last few years, pro-lifers have celebrated dramatic declines in the U.S. abortion rate. Ever wonder how Planned Parenthood manages to stay afloat in such an environment? Wonder no more. Americans United for Life has put together an incredibly thorough and well-documented report they’re calling “The New Leviathan.” It covers a huge amount of ground: […]
