The U.S. Supreme Court traditionally releases its major opinions in the month of June. We have already seen blockbuster rulings on LGBT employment discrimination and DACA. Next up: June Medical Services v. Russo, which will determine the fate of a Louisiana law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of […]
Today Oregon Right to Life is hosting the “Together We Advocate” Conference, the largest pro-life conference in the Pacific northwest. Monica Snyder, SPL co-leader, will be giving a slightly updated version of her presentation “Deconstructing Three Pro-Choice Myths,” including where those myths come from and the research that undermines the myths’ claims. Here are the sources […]
Abortion will be considered unthinkable 50 years from now Vox, 4/4/19. Didn’t expect an article like this from Vox. Kansas lawmakers OK mandating notice on abortion ‘reversal’ News Tribune, 4/7/19. Notice they never say research led by “an abortion-rights doctor” or even “a pro-choice doctor” when the situation is reversed. They just say “doctor” and leave […]

Along similar lines, pro-lifers are often puzzled by the notion that someone could desire that abortion be rare, and yet […]

[Today’s guest post by Candace Stewart is part of our paid blogging program.] Recently I wrote a blog post showing evidence of the effectiveness of pro-life laws. In that post, one law I didn’t mention was parental involvement laws. I chose to leave those laws out of my previous analysis because they only affect a […]
New Jersey senator Frank Lautenberg shocked the pro-life community with his comment that “These people don’t deserve the freedoms in the Constitution… but we’ll give it to them anyway.” In context, it’s abundantly clear that “these people” are pro-life advocates. Days later, he still has not responded to demands for an apology. So, what would […]
