Today at the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Malcolm Potts will be hosting his bi-annual point/counterpoint-style lecture on abortion for his public health class. 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 […]
In my dad’s MBA program they said you need three factors to motivate someone to take an Action X for Reward Y: The person has to actually want Reward Y. The person has to believe if they take Action X, they really will receive Reward Y. The person has to believe they are capable of […]
[Update 10/28/22: We have moved these resources to a landing page here. Going forward any additional resources will be added to the landing page, rather than this blog post.] Despite conventional wisdom, there’s zero quantifiable data to support the idea that all or even most late-term abortions are medically necessary. Defining our terms. First, the […]
On September 20, 2015, HRC appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and stated: I think that the kind of late-term abortions that take place are because of medical necessity. And, therefore, I would hate to see the government interfering with that decision. FactCheck.org took Clinton to task for this claim [emphasis added]: A spokesman for […]
Recently the FB group Defund Live Action posted this: I can see an argument for avoiding the word “baby” while discussing abortion, but this post is more like “Can we just not discuss the other organism involved in this controversy at all? Can we please only use the euphemisms that keep me comfortable?” This kind […]
I know it’s been a frustrating couple weeks with NY, VA, and the many conversations that have ensued. But big picture, guys: 1) Abortion rates continue to decline. They peaked at 29.3 abortions per 1,000 women in 1980; in 2014 it was 14.6. 2) Abortion clinics continue to close every year. >>The number of U.S. […]
In the wake of New York’s Reproductive Health Act, I’ve seen a lot of pro-choice assertions about late-term abortion that I’d like to address here. 1. Pro-lifers actually think New York legalized abortion up until birth! It’s ridiculous. No one is legalizing abortion into the ninth month. The Reproductive Health Act allows abortion for any reason up […]
As has become tradition, we kicked off the Walk for Life with our own meet-up before the rally before the Walk itself. The past several years we’ve partnered with Rehumanize International, Pro-Life San Francisco, and other non-traditional pro-life organizations to host a meet-up in front of the Asian Art Museum typically highlighting the diversity in […]
[Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] Dizygotic twinning is when two sperm fertilize two eggs and produce two zygotes which grow as two separate organisms. Not confusing, right? Monozygotic twinning is when a single sperm fertilizes a single egg and produces a single zygote, but in the earliest stages of development that embryo splits […]
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: […]
