I don’t think any man is prepared for hearing that a pregnancy he helped create may be the cause of death for the mother of his child. I know the father of my child wasn’t prepared to hear that, but he did nonetheless. In his words: “You hear people say a person could die having […]
During the summer of 2015, Alicia Young started experiencing some unusual symptoms: weight gain, neck swelling, moodiness, easily becoming sick, and extreme fatigue. She fell ill quite often, getting three ear infections all within four months. At the young age of twenty-five she felt it was not normal, so she made an appointment with an […]
I’m a few months late to this poll—which was conducted from December 12 through 16 of last year—but better late than never. There are a few reasons that this particular poll is worth discussing.

At least one pro-life veteran is skeptical of this sudden change. Traditionally pregnancy has been […]
Two items from RH Reality Check today. First, I’m in a minor comment war over this post about the pro-life view on ectopic pregnancy. Pro-lifers generally don’t even think of ectopic pregnancy treatment as being an abortion at all. If an unborn baby is doomed to die, and the mother is at risk if the […]
The Department of Defense authorization bill, which contained both taxpayer funding of abortion (the Burris Amendment) and the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, has failed to pass. Now, a standalone piece of legislation has been introduced to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. By divorcing it from the abortion issue, LGBT advocates may be able […]
