In the previous part of this series, I addressed empirical objections that Ord anticipated. Now I will respond to his anticipated philosophical objections. See here and here for the first two parts in this series. Philosophical Objections: The first objection he responds to is a claim I made in an earlier part, that many of the conceptions that occur are not really […]
Recently, the Pro Life Campaign, a non-sectarian pro-life group in Ireland, produced this short video: I can already hear the objection from the pro-choicers who will view this: “Or maybe that fetus you aborted would have become a 21st-century Hitler! Maybe you did the world a favor!” The idea behind this video, and other campaigns […]
What do you do when your arguments just can’t hack it? You hack the opposition’s website. Last week, all Students for Life of America websites were hacked, causing a denial of service. Earlier this week, our intern attempted to access critical data on AbortionDocs.org and likewise found herself in a sea of 404 not found […]

You’ve no doubt heard about the computer programmer’s worst nightmare that was the launch of HealthCare.gov. That was a newsworthy story, to be sure.

As my conclusion, I will now respond to certain objections that Ord anticipated. I was hoping to get this done in one part, but due to the length, it will contain two parts. See here and here for my previous parts. Empirical Objections: The first empirical objection Ord responds to is the fact that critics of his argument […]

Sarah is a pro-life atheist, a frequent contributor to Live Action News, and the force behind ClinicQuotes.com.] Apple Valley, Minnesota prosecutors allege that Roger Holland killed his pregnant wife Marjorie and their 15-week-old unborn baby.

Yesterday, in a move heralded by pro-life advocates, the European Union declined to adopt a measure that would have declared abortion to be a human right. If adopted, the proposal would have approved a violation of the right to life, marring the very concept of human rights. Moreover, abortion advocates sought to use this opportunity […]
