Shortly before Christmas, Salon published an article that surprised me. I almost didn’t read it, because I’m not a big Salon fan; it’s home to many anti-choicers-hate-women screeds, and I still have some lingering distrust from the publication’s anti-vaccine days (although there appears to have been some improvement on that front in the years since […]
Calling all Bay Area Pro-Lifers! Monday, December 5th, 2016, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards is scheduled to deliver a speech entitled “The Future of Choice” in San Francisco, California. Join Secular Pro-Life Representative and President of Pro-Life Future San Francisco, Terrisa Bukovinac, in peaceful protest against Planned Parenthood and the destruction of […]
This Sunday, October 16, marks the 100th anniversary of Planned Parenthood. It’s a sordid history. Planned Parenthood began as a contraceptive provider… but for all the wrong reasons. In the words of its founder, Margaret Sanger: It has been conservatively estimated that no less than one quarter of the gross incomes of our states is […]
ACTION ITEM: Submit a comment on the proposed HHS rule here. Comments are due before midnight on October 7, 2016. The federal Department of Health and Human Services released a proposed rule that is quite obviously intended to siphon Title X funds to Planned Parenthood. The rule would prohibit states from prioritizing funding for its […]
There’s what Planned Parenthood says, and then there’s what Planned Parenthood does. In a recent Washington Post puff piece on Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, the message is that Planned Parenthood is proud of its abortion practice and doing everything it can to publicize it: One hundred years after Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger began educating […]
The petition site Care2 is currently home to the baldest pro-abortion lie I have seen in quite a while, and that’s saying something. The petition demands that Congress “pass [a] Zika funding bill without defunding Planned Parenthood.” The Zika virus is transmitted through mosquitoes, and is also sexually transmitted. Pregnant women and unborn children are […]
Pro-choice activists mock the most socially unpalatable aspects of the pro-life position. Broadly speaking, pro-lifers believe human life is morally relevant when the human organism begins: as a zygote. This means we oppose killing not only fetuses, but also embryos and zygotes. And so, while we primarily object to surgical abortion, many of us also […]
For years, Life Decisions International (LDI) has maintained a list of businesses and organizations that fund Planned Parenthood. The boycott list is updated twice a year, as LDI works with those who want off the list to confirm the cessation of financial support for abortion. The boycott has achieved impressive results: “To date, at least […]
In The Rise of the Ku Klux Klan: Right-Wing Movements and National Politics, University of Notre Dame sociology chair Rory McVeigh reveals that the KKK was about more than just promoting white supremacy. It was also actively involved in other matters of interest to low-income whites, particularly ending child labor and instituting compulsory public education (segregated, […]
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 […]
