And Then There Were None. from Abe Films on Vimeo. We interrupt our regularly scheduled blogging to urge you to watch the above video from And Then There Were None. We do not use the term “pro-abortion” lightly. We realize that some people truly are pro-choice. But with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy: If you plan […]
When discussing how “rare” or “frequent” something is, what matters more: percentages, or absolute numbers? In the abortion debate, this problem comes up in at least two contexts: rape, and late-term abortions. Abortion advocates maintain that pregnancy from rape is a common occurrence. They also maintain that late-term abortions are rare, as they are only […]
Years ago, I encountered a piece in Feminism & Nonviolence Studies entitled “Feminist, Prolife, and Atheist,” by Kathryn Reed. At the time, I had no idea that atheism was in my future. What really stuck with me was not the title, or even the body of the article, but one of the subheadings: “Converting Abortion Clinics […]

Many pro-lifers object to contraception that prevents implantation or otherwise works post-fertilization, but they believe contraception that prevents fertilization is morally acceptable. I’m not addressing those pro-lifers here. In this post, I’m addressing those who believe any form of artificial contraception is unacceptable. Polls suggest the strong majority (89%) of Americans think contraception is morally […]
SPL supporter Nicole J. won our “Language of Life” t-shirt contest with these companion designs: This is a great conversation-starter, without being confrontational or over-the-top. (“Why does it say ‘conceived to be wild’ instead of ‘born to be wild’?” “Because human life begins at conception; our language just hasn’t caught up to the science.”) […]
Two years ago, Todd Akin kamikaze’d his career during an interview in which he said, “First of all, from what I understand from doctors, [pregnancy from rape] is really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Akin apologized for the comment, but it […]
[Today’s post by Ben Williamson is part of our paid blogging program.] It’s well-established, as a scientific matter, that preborn embryos and fetuses are living human organisms. Nevertheless, many abortion advocates claim that the human embryo is not really a human being, but is merely a clump of cells, no more valuable than any somatic […]
[Today’s guest post by Ben Williamson is part of our paid blogging program.] It is absolutely critical that the issue dividing the pro-lifers and abortion advocates be clarified and not muddled by irrelevancies. As author Scott Klusendorf points out in The Case for Life: “If you think a particular argument for elective abortion begs the […]
[Today’s guest post by Crystal Kupper is part of our paid blogging program.] I woke up last week with two identical news stories from friends posted to my Facebook page: five-time national champion Alysia Montano ran a whopping 34 seconds slower than her personal best in the 800-meter event at the U.S. Track and Field […]
