[Today’s post comes to us from The Charlatan, the student newspaper of Carleton University in Ottowa, Canada. Carleton Lifeline president Taylor Hyatt responds to an abortion supporter on campus who was “disturbed” by photos of abortion victims.] I would like to commend Ms. Campbell for voicing her opinion, and her honesty in doing so. I […]
On Friday, the Virginia Board of Health approved new safety regulations for abortion centers in the Commonwealth. I was among the supporters gathered outside as the 13-2 ruling was announced.

Pro-life advocates, particularly Live Action, have challenged the claim each time. This letter from the Department of Health and Human Services should clear things up once and for all. Not a single Planned Parenthood in the country has a […]
Kristi Brown of Live Action News dissects a recent Planned Parenthood rally for Obama. The highlights: Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s outrageous claim that pro-lifers cannot love women (“Thank you, Mayor Booker, for being ever-present in my life, at every moment, and assuring me that my brothers, father, and husband do not truly love me”), and […]
I believe that abortion should be far more legally restricted than it currently is, but I don’t think it should be illegal in every circumstance. I think abortion should be legal if the mother’s life is threatened, for example, or if the mother was raped (see more here.) Because of my particular perspective, I’ve had […]
[Today’s post is the first in a three-part series on “hard cases” by SPL member Clinton Wilcox. For the second post, on the rape exception, click here. For the third post, on life-threatening pregnancies, click here.] Now we get to the really tough questions about abortion. Can we justify abortion in the really hard cases? […]
