As anyone who’s been doing pro-life work for an appreciable length of time is aware, coerced abortion is a huge problem in the United States. The promise of “choice” has been rendered illusory by parents, boyfriends, and abusers. These cases are rarely publicized (notwithstanding a recent exception for a Brazilian celebrity). The risk is especially […]
You may have already seen this, as it’s getting a lot of press, but let’s discuss it from a pro-life angle. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life has released the results of a 32-question religious quiz it administered to over 3400 Americans. Atheists and agnostics got an average of 20.9 questions correct, about […]
Last week I touched on the subject about staying focused on what sidewalk counselors are there for- Saving babies! Not religion, politics and so on… I wanted to finish discussing this issue. Growing up I always heard the saying “United we stand, Divided we fall”. The more I grow up and experience the “real” world, […]
Today’s post is by guest author Michelle Zhang. Saturday, September 25, 2010, marked the 30th Anniversary of the One-Child Policy in China. Lifenews.com featured an article that reminds of us the consequences of this law. For years we have heard horror stories of forced sterilization and even forced abortions. Family planning officials frequently jail couples […]
Warning: this post contains profanity and some other things that the easily disturbed probably shouldn’t read. If you aren’t familiar with Lamebook, it’s a repository of stupid, amusing, and lame Facebook posts. (If you aren’t familiar with Facebook, we have a problem.)

Domestic News: Senator Roland Burris (D-IL) has decided to make abortion an issue as part of a new defense spending package. He’s trying to add an amendment to the defense budget that includes an end to the current restrictions of abortions on military bases. The Senate is not expected to discuss this amendment until the […]
On Monday, LifeNews.com featured an article entitled “Poll: Religion Key in Shaping Abortion Opinions, Mostly for Pro-Life People.” While I don’t necessarily agree that it showed religion to be “key,” I did find the data to be quite interesting. Of course, raw data only takes us so far; we have to interpret it. 45% of […]
So, I thought that this week I would talk about the patients and those who accompany them to the abortion clinic. First we have the mothers. They come from every race, age, and socio-economic background. They come with their mothers, fathers, sisters, best friends, husband, and boyfriends. But still, they most of them walk into […]
Background: Teresa Lewis is a death row inmate in Virginia. She was convicted of masterminding a plot to kill her husband and stepson, although she did not pull the trigger herself. There’s considerable controversy over Lewis’ mental capacity. Her supporters say that she’s borderline mentally retarded; the prosecution says that’s ridiculous. But the real media […]
An easy, free way to help the pro-life movement is to participate in research! I’d like to bring two projects to your attention. First, a Cornell student is working on a research paper regarding support for incrementalism in the pro-life movement. He is looking for blog comment threads, discussion fora, recorded conversations, etc. on this […]
