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 […]

This year, Monica Snyder of Secular Pro-Life will be presenting the antiabortion case. We hope to have video of her presentation later–EDIT: you can now watch the full presentation here–but meanwhile […]

Personhood based on human cognitive abilities.

November 30, 2018/0 Comments/in Biology, Personhood, Research /by Monica Snyder

What difference is there (if any) between a human organism and a “person”? Is there such thing as a human non-person? How do we determine which human organisms have moral worth and merit social protection? People have given me a variety of suggestions for the factors human organisms need to be morally relevant, including connection […]

Is Gosnell America’s “Biggest Serial Killer”?

October 24, 2018/0 Comments/in Later Abortion /by Monica Snyder

This post contains quotes, summaries, and descriptions from the grand jury report regarding Kermit Gosnell. Much of this information is very disturbing, including graphic descriptions of violence. NBC published a review of the Gosnell movie by Robin Marty. She didn’t like the film. In particular she took exception to the moniker “America’s Biggest Serial Killer,” saying: […]

MPs shine light on Canadian abortion survivors left to die

August 20, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

“Live-birth abortion” sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s the term being used to describe a shockingly common scenario in Canada. A National Post article headlined “Birth of a legal quandry: Live-birth abortions a perilous grey zone in Canada’s criminal code” reports:  On Thursday, three federal Conservative backbenchers said they had asked the RCMP to initiate […]

A survey of infanticide after attemped abortion

December 20, 2016/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Sarah Terzo

[Today’s guest post by Sarah Terzo is part of our paid blogging program.] In June 2015, the European Centre for Law and Justice released a report that compiled first-hand accounts of babies born alive after abortions who were then killed by doctors. The report, which can be found in its entirety here, has a number […]

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

May 31, 2016/0 Comments/in Later 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 […]

How Common is Infanticide in Abortion Facilities?

August 15, 2013/38 Comments/in Later Abortion /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest post by Frank Ludwig is part of our paid blogging program.] In ancient Rome it was customary to present a newborn child to the family patriarch who would decide whether the infant would live or die. Today this right is claimed by the mothers. While the majority of even late-term abortion campaigners agree […]

Douglas Karpen is the New Kermit Gosnell

May 20, 2013/1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[This post is reprinted with permission from Difficult Run.] Aside from wishing that people would simply not talk about Kermit Gosnell at all, pro-choice groups in American politics would really like everyone to understand that Kermit Gosnell was a horrific aberration. As a group, the pro-choice movement tends to circle the wagon around late-term abortionists and […]

In the womb at a shiny, clean clinic.

May 2, 2013/5 Comments/in Uncategorized /by admin

In response to the Gosnell trial, some pro-choicers are claiming this is what happens when we restrict access to abortion. They say Gosnell exemplifies exactly why we must fight to protect abortion rights. For example, here’s NARAL’s statement on the subject: Kermit Gosnell’s actions were reprehensible, illegal and reminiscent of back-alley abortions from the days […]
