After the great defense of the bill earlier this week by some pro-life activists, including our own admin, has been withdrawn. It has been replaced by a new version of the bill with the words “reckless act of the woman” removed. The New York Times has a full write-up on the changed language. Here’s an […]
We have long known that most Americans reject federal funding of abortion. A study released by the Susan B. Anthony List today shows that this opposition is strong in the Congressional districts where it matters most. The SBA List conducted a survey in eight districts; the votes of these representatives could decide the future of […]
Remember when Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson was the holdout vote for the Senate version of the healthcare reform bill? He opposed it on the basis of its funding for abortion, but when legislators offered a deal to reduce Nebraska’s Medicaid expenses, he conveniently caved. Pro-lifers criticized him harshly, characterizing his switch as a “betrayal.” So, […]

Abortion advocates are angry about a bill, recently passed by the Utah state senate, that imposes penalties on people who perform abortions on themselves.

As you’re probably aware, Chile just experienced a major earthquake. Fortunately, it has not caused nearly as much devestation as last month’s earthquake in Haiti. The Chilean government has not yet requested international aid. Still, we must take this seriously. 147 lives have already been lost, and if we do not act quickly to restore […]
Bryan Kemper of Stand True: Christ-Centered Pro-Life invited me to answer today’s weekend question on the role of religion in the pro-life movement. Wherever you come out on the substance of the question, this is a great example of pro-lifers working through their differences in a peaceful, respectful way.
In Nebraska, State lawmakers are considering a new piece of legislation entitled the Abortion Pain Prevention Act. The bill, if enacted, would be the most stringent in the nation by banning most abortions after 20 weeks of the pregnancy. Why 20 weeks instead of the traditional 24 weeks? After 20 weeks, it’s stated, that the […]
Our step forward is in Kenya, which is in the process of approving a new national constitution. The most recent draft includes, and the final version is expected to preserve, the human right to life beginning at conception. Its proponents have stated that this provision will not impact the availability of contraception. The progressive constitution […]
