[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 […]
(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 […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
