Why did people laugh during Roe v Wade?

May 15, 2012/4 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s post is written by Stacey Trasancos, originally posted on her blog, “Accepting Abundance.” The article is reposted with permission.] Have you ever listened to the Roe vs. Wade arguments? I’ve heard about this conversation before, but it is even more chilling to listen to the words that were actually spoken in our courts 39 […]

“Girls become lovers who turn into mothers.”

May 13, 2012/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

(I woke up with the above-quoted John Mayer song stuck in my head.  Seems fitting.) (Via Pinterest) My first niece (whom I will call “Z”) was due last Tuesday, but still hasn’t made her appearance.  We are all very (impatiently) excited for Z’s arrival, but in the interim the pregnancy has gotten increasingly uncomfortable for […]

Crossed Lines

March 13, 2012/4 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

I am not, by any stretch, the first pro-lifer to draw parallels between abortion and infanticide.  Many before me have tried to explain our concern that society could adapt the pro-choice mentality to apply to newborns. Pro-choicers usually respond with flat denial, and sometimes disgust.  Killing newborns, after all, cannot be justified by bodily integrity. […]

Bodily Integrity

March 9, 2012/31 Comments/in Bodily Rights, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

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. […]

A New Understanding of Bodily Integrity

January 8, 2012/2 Comments/in Bodily Rights, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

This post was sent to me by guest blogger Julie W. – M It could be said the core belief of pro-lifers is that every human life is significant.  From this belief, we deduce that the right to life supersedes any discomforts, inconveniences, and difficulties (save a threat to her own life) a woman experiences […]

No matter how small.

November 13, 2011/15 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Because of Initiative 26, I’ve seen a lot of debate recently about the definition of “personhood.”  Our society finds it abhorrent to deny people rights.  But the personhood debate implies that fetuses, though human, aren’t people, making our denial of their rights more palatable.  Truth be told, I have a difficult time feeling emotional about […]

Roe v. Wade: A Brief Overview

December 15, 2010/4 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In 1973, the US Supreme Court ruled in the case of Roe v. Wade. The Court reasoned that a woman has a right to an abortion under the Constitution’s implied right to privacy. The Court’s reasoning has subsequently been derided by people from both the pro-choice and pro-life movements. If you want evidence of how […]
