Assessing Theories of Pro-Life Motivations

August 23, 2019/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

A saying typically attributed to former President of the United States Dwight Eisenhower goes “Never question another man’s motive. His wisdom, yes, but not his motives.” Unfortunately, it has become commonplace for defenders of abortion to ignore this concept. With the growing toxicity influencing our political discourse every day, bad ideas are given fertile ground […]

The Plot Thickens: Rasanen on Ectogenesis

November 27, 2017/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

I recently wrote an article responding to Joona Rasanen’s arguments regarding ectogenesis. Ectogenesis refers to an organism growing in an artificial environment outside the body in which it would normally be found. In this context, it refers to the human embryo or fetus gestating in an artificial womb rather than the woman’s womb who conceived […]

Will Artificial Wombs End the Abortion Debate?

November 7, 2017/0 Comments/in Bodily Rights /by Clinton Wilcox

Illustration of artificial womb technology sustaining a young lamb Xavier Symons, writing for BioEdge, a news website that focuses on bioethics, wrote an article about ectogenesis. Ectogenesis refers to a human embryo or fetus developing in an artificial environment outside of the woman’s uterus. Scientists recently kept premature lamb fetuses alive in an artificial environment, […]

Apparently protecting embryos is more extreme than severing babies’ spines.

May 31, 2016/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion /by Monica Snyder

Pro-choice activists mock the most socially unpalatable aspects of the pro-life position. Broadly speaking, pro-lifers believe human life is morally relevant when the human organism begins: as a zygote. This means we oppose killing not only fetuses, but also embryos and zygotes. And so, while we primarily object to surgical abortion, many of us also […]

Three-Parent Babies: A Pro-Life Ethical Analysis

March 2, 2015/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest post by Victoria Godwin is part of our paid blogging program.] The UK Parliament voted early last month to allow for the creation of children using the biological DNA from three people, effectively becoming the first country to officially approve this technique. The aim of this technology is to allow parents with a […]

Pro-choice ethicists: OK to use aborted baby’s ovaries to create new children

March 24, 2014/34 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Sarah Terzo

[Today’s blog post by Sarah Terzo is part of our paid blogging program. Sarah is a pro-life atheist, a frequent contributor to Live Action News, a board member of the Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians, and the force behind ClinicQuotes.com.] Fetal tissue harvesting and experimentation on aborted babies are logical outgrowths of the pro-choice position. After […]

A bioethical question

May 6, 2013/1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

I recently had an interesting exchange with Ray P., a Secular Pro-Life member and scientist whose current project involves the study of gestational diabetes and insulin production. Of course, I’m thrilled to see an SPL member working to improve maternal health. But Ray has an ethical conundrum: many scientists in his field use cell lines […]

Adult stem cell researchers awarded Nobel Prize

October 9, 2012/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their pioneering work in adult stem cell research, the Washington Post reports. Yamanaka was instrumental in the development of induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC), which act like embryonic stem cells but are created without killing an embryo.  His work built upon animal cloning […]

Cutting-edge science: womb transplants

September 20, 2012/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

From CNN: Two Swedish women have received new wombs donated by their mothers in the first mother-to-daughter uterine transplants, officials said. The first woman had her uterus removed years ago because of surgery for cervical cancer, according to the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. The second woman was born without a uterus. Neither woman was […]
