In the 45 years since Roe v. Wade, the Democratic Party has never had less control in Washington D.C. than it does now. Interestingly, the Democratic Party has also never had a more radical position on abortion. The official Democratic Party platform states: Every woman should have access to quality reproductive health care services, including […]
This weekend I had the honor of attending and speaking at the Democrats for Life of America (DFLA) Conference in Denver, Colorado. I myself am a registered Democrat and pro-life activist operating in San Francisco, one of the most left-leaning of America’s progressive cities. A progressive local group in Colorado had purchased a billboard sign […]
[Today’s guest post by Acyutananda is part of our paid blogging program.] So far as I know, the recent “Why Can’t a Feminist Be Pro-Life?” panel at the Catholic University of America marked the first time that pro-choice feminists, who are the feminist mainstream, entered a formal setting where they found undeniable confirmation of the […]
Last Friday we posted a 2 question poll about who you consider “pro-lifers” and who you consider part of the “pro-life movement.” The point of the poll was to explore how people define these terms. We considered four factors: Whether a person is politically active in fighting abortion. Whether a person thinks abortion should be […]
Recently my FB newsfeed delivered me this gem: “5 Thing Pro-Choicers Wish Their Anti-Choice Friends Understood.” To my disappointment, the article includes plenty of sarcasm, negative assumptions, and (in my experience) incorrect stereotypes. It certainly doesn’t come off as a conversation between friends, so maybe the title was just tongue-in-cheek. But I really do have […]
Above: the front of the line at the 2015 March for Life in Washington, D.C. You’ve probably seen the black-and-white poster that boldly proclaims: “77% of anti-abortion leaders are men. 100% of them will never be pregnant.” The 77% figure has always struck me as high. I’ve been active in the pro-life movement for about […]
(Note: You can click on any image to see a larger version.) Every now and then I see this resurface: I’d be interested to know how they’re defining “anti-abortion leaders”… The first implication is that men shouldn’t have a say in the abortion debate, a ludicrous claim we’ve addressed before. The next implication is that the […]
A Secular Pro-Life member recently asked for the source of the claim that young Americans are more pro-life than their older counterparts (which has earned us the moniker “the pro-life generation”). The claim is not based on one particular survey, but on a series of polls over several years. For everyone’s convenience, this blog post […]
[Today’s guest post by Shannon Morrow is part of our paid blogging program.] Today’s world is truly global. The past hundred years have seen incredible improvements in communication and transportation that have allowed us to interact with people all over the world, from different upbringings, backgrounds, religions, and cultures. We are interacting with people completely […]
Currently the democratic platform’s party states its unequivocal support for Roe v. Wade and says, “we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right.” However, some democrats in the party have recently suggested, at a committee meeting, that the language should be changed to allow some diversity of opinion on the issue […]
