On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Young v. UPS, which concerns the interpretation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The interpretation being advocated by the defendant would seriously undermine protections for pregnant mothers in the workplace—creating increased pressure to abort. As a result, the case attracted numerous amicus briefs, including one signed by 23 […]
For those of us in the United States, November 4th is election day. Of particular concern to pro-lifers, the November 4th election will determine control of the Senate, which approves Supreme Court nominees. Given the age of some of our current Justices, both pro- and anti-abortion, there’s no telling what could happen between now and […]
Above: the author’s son Noel, who died of natural causes in utero. [Today’s guest post by JoAnna Wahlund is part of our paid blogging program.] I recently saw the movie “The Giver” (and loved it, just as I’ve loved the book since childhood).

[Today’s post is by guest blogger Nathaniel, re-posted with permission from his blog, Difficult Run.] Less than a week after Kirsten Powers’ USA Today piece, the concerted pro-life effort to get the Gosnell trial the media attention it tragically deserves has succeeded. Sort of. There are a lot of articles being written about Gosnell, but […]
You wouldn’t know it from the major network coverage, but abortionist Kermit Gosnell is currently facing trial for multiple counts of murder. Witnesses are giving horrifying testimony of Gosnell beheading live newborns. Kirsten Powers puts it better than I can in this USA Today piece: Infant beheadings. Severed baby feet in jars. A child […]
The Irish Times is infamous within the pro-life movement for irresponsibly running with the story that a young woman named Savita Halappanavar had died because she was denied an abortion. Irish pro-lifers familiar with Irish medical practice were skeptical— and sure enough, the reporter later admitted that Savita may not have wanted an abortion at all. […]
1) You may have heard by now that criminal charges against a Planned Parenthood affiliate in Kansas were dropped after key evidence was lost to “routine” document destruction. Needless to say, pro-life advocates who are familiar with the case believe that this was anything but routine. Operation Rescue outlines everything you need to know in […]
Gerard Nadal’s post on Chapter Three of Embryo: A Defense of Human Life has been postponed until tomorrow. In the meantime, I was intigued by this 2009 article that a facebook friend shared: “Poll Shows Catholics Support Abortion Funding in Healthcare.” Wow!
