[Today’s guest post by Caitlin Fikes is part of Secular Pro-Life’s paid blogging program.] I believe that there is a common and insidious cultural misconception with regards to fetuses: the subtle idea that birth is the true beginning of a human’s life, not only because that is when he or she is first socially acknowledged […]
Texas law mandates that women seeking an abortion must be given an informational pamphlet on abortion and then wait 24 hours before undergoing an abortion procedure.

[Today’s guest post by Shannon Morrow is part of our paid blogging program.] Today’s world is truly global. The past hundred years have seen incredible improvements in communication and transportation that have allowed us to interact with people all over the world, from different upbringings, backgrounds, religions, and cultures. We are interacting with people completely […]
Recently, pro-lifers in North Dakota distributed some fetal models to kids at the state fair. [Disclosure: I know Devyn Nelson, the Executive Director of North Dakota, personally; we were both in the inaugural class of Wilberforce Fellows at Students for Life of America.] Abortion advocates didn’t take it well. A major theme of the criticism: the […]
