As much as we American pro-lifers might feel that we’re facing an uphill battle to protect the unborn, we’ve got nothing on our neighbors to the north. Abortion advocates have a very strong grip on public opinion there– so much so that Canadian pro-lifers have faced severe threats to their very freedom of speech, especially […]
Slate author Jessica Grose gave SecularProLife.org a nod in her recent piece, “Why Are More Americans Calling Themselves Pro-Life?” It’s a complex question, and I’d like to hear your answers.

Late Term Abortions in Wisconsin – In February 2009, the board of the Madison Surgery Center had allowed all its organization to perform late term abortions. Documentation was obtained by pro-life groups in Wisconsin showing that the Center, which is connected to a number of university hospitals / clinics may have used the late term […]
State Laws – The Week wrote a brief article describing the 5 States with the strictest abortion laws. The winners? Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Louisiana, and South Dakota. In other Kansas related news, the state legislature came 2 votes shy of overturning the Governor’s veto of new proposed abortion legislation. If it passed, the legislation would […]
Each Tuesday, we will be cross-posting Gerard Nadal’s discussion of Embryo: A Defense of Human Life. Today is the third installment.

Supreme Court: President Obama stated this week that he will not use abortion or other social issues as a form of litmus test for who he nominates to the Supreme Court.
