The abortion lobby is has found its latest poster child: a Salvadoran woman, known only as Beatriz, who allegedly needed an abortion to save her life. The reality, as usual, is more complicated. El Salvador protects unborn life, and recognizes the lives of mothers as well. Balancing these concerns, El Salvador has legal abortion in […]
[Today’s post by guest author Prayson Daniel is part of our paid blogging program.] Is it possible to make a case for the prima facie wrongness of killing a human foetus that does not depend on theological premises? In 1989 atheist philosopher Donald Marquis introduced a philosophical case for immorality of abortion that neither depended […]

[Today’s piece was co-authored by Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard and Americans United for Life senior counsel William Saunders. It originally appeared in LifeNews.] Abortion advocacy groups refer to themselves as “women’s groups.” They claim that pro-lifers are waging a “war on women.” And the media parrots them at every turn. Under these circumstances, pro-life […]
When abortion advocates die, how should we respond? It’s a timely question. On Monday, Sen. Lautenberg (D-NJ) died of natural causes at the age of 89. He accomplished many things in his decades as an elected official, but in pro-life circles, he’ll be remembered for his belief that defenders of unborn human life “don’t deserve […]
I’m pro-life. I get annoyed when people call me “anti-choice,” because I am not anti-choices in a general way. I am anti the specific choice to have your fetus killed. Similarly, I get annoyed when my fellow pro-lifers call pro-choicers “pro-abortion.” There’s a difference between thinking a woman should be able to choose whether or […]
The abortion industry has really been on the run lately. Gosnell was just the start. Then came the death of Jennifer Morbelli at the hands of late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart. Then came Douglas Karpen, the “Texas Gosnell,” under investigation for killing newborn abortion survivors. Then came Associates in OB/GYN Care, which killed 38-year-old Maria Santiago […]
CNN reports that condom company Sir Richard’s has adopted the charitable strategy of TOMS Shoes: buy one, and one will be donated to a developing country. They’re starting with Haiti, where HIV has spiked in the years since a devastating earthquake overwhelmed its healthcare system. It’s a clever idea, and there’s no doubt that condoms […]
This afternoon at four, the Pro-Life Action League is leading a protest against President Obama and Speaker Pelosi, who are both ardent supporters of abortion through all nine months of pregnancy (and, in Obama’s case, arguably beyond). The protest will be held outside Chicago Hilton & Towers, 720 S. Michigan Avenue, where Obama and Pelosi […]
I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend! Here are some stories you may have missed. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down an Arizona law restricting late-term abortions (after 20 weeks). Americans United for Life explains why the ruling was flawed: the Supreme Court has clearly recognized the legitimate […]
