The AHCA, which included a Planned Parenthood defunding provision, tanked. Last week, a Planned Parenthood defunding measure passed the Senate and awaits the President’s signature. Now, pro-life organizations are demanding another Planned Parenthood defunding vote. If you’re not intimately familiar with these battles, your understandable reaction must be what on earth is going on?? Today’s […]
Poll results are easily manipulated by the wording of the question. USA Today gives a perfect example: In the poll, 46% agreed with the statement: “Heated political rhetoric about Planned Parenthood and abortion bear some of the responsibility for what happened” in the [Colorado Springs] shooting. In contrast, 36% agreed with the statement: “The event […]

(A) That person needs help. (B) That person is brave. The Slate clickbait headline: Brave Portland […]
On Saturday, pro-lifers across the country peacefully protested outside hundreds of Planned Parenthoods, calling for the industrial purveyor of abortion to be defunded in the wake of damning videos from the Center for Medical Progress. (Watch the videos or, if that’s too gruesome, read the transcripts at centerformedicalprogress.org.) Here’s how the media reacted: LifeNews: Thousands of […]
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.

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). It’s still fairly fresh in my mind, so perhaps that’s why I […]

This photo is from Buckner International, a faith-based charity that has been at work in the Rio Grande Valley since 1972, the year before Roe v. Wade. [Today’s guest post by […]
[Today’s guest post is by Maria Tsikalas.] News organizations from Al Jazeera America to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel were in full force last week lamenting current and pending legislation in Louisiana, Wisconsin and other states that would require admitting privileges at nearby hospitals for abortion providers. The New York Times said: The requirement that doctors […]
[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 […]
