Last month Health and Human Services (HHS) mandated birth control, sterilization, and abortion inducing drugs in President Obama’s healthcare reform. The issue at hand does not only consist of whether or not we believe any of the three above “preventative services’ are okay, the larger issue at hand is that the HHS mandate also forces […]
Backstory here. Josiah is affiliated with the Christian group Abolitionist Society of Oklahoma. You’ve probably seen their “Abolish Human Abortion” graphics on Facebook; they’re excellent with social media.
Kelsey speaking. It’s hard to believe that my graduation from the University of Virginia School of Law is just two months away! In light of this approaching milestone, I decided to revisit an issue from early in my law school career: namely, whether or not the Earle Mack School of Law at Drexel University in […]
So it’s pretty ridiculous how many times I’ve heard this: If you want to understand a pro-lifer’s perspective, take any argument about abortion and substitute “fetus” with “3-year-old.” Try this with me: “If you don’t like killing 3-year-olds, then don’t kill any.

Killing newborns, after all, cannot be justified by bodily integrity. […]
SPL member Ward Ricker has produced a couple of useful tools. The first is a quiz that tests your general knowledge of abortion in the United States; it uses neutral language, so both pro- and anti-abortion people can use it and learn something. (I confess that I got one of the questions wrong.) The second […]
In my opinion, bodily integrity—the idea that no person has the right to use another person’s body against their will–is the strongest pro-choice argument. Consider the court case McFall v Shimp: McFall suffered from a life-threatening bone marrow disease and his cousin, Shimp, was a compatible bone marrow donor. Shimp refused to donate bone marrow. […]

This morning, Operation Rescue shared an article that the LA Times published. The article is about an abortionist from Wichita named Mila Means who has attempted to open a new abortion clinic in Wichita, but has been unable to thanks to peaceful but persistent pro-life protesting. A few days ago, Shawn Carney of 40 Days for […]
