Twenty years ago in the summer of 1991 a pro-life event was scheduled to target late term abortionist Dr. George Tiller, who during his career performed over 60,000 abortions mostly on 7-8 month old unborn children in the womb. 50,000 pro-life advocates from all over the United States answered the call to stand for life […]
Catholic blog CelleDoor captured a photo of our pro-life, pro-science message at the San Francisco Walk for Life. In her coverage of the D.C. March for Life, Christianity Today author Karen Swallow Prior highlights Phil, one of our most active volunteers: He is a young, pro-life vegan who cut his activism teeth in the anti-globalization […]
Warning: some crude language. I have lived in the San Francisco bay area for five and a half years. This was my 5th year attending Walk For Life WC. Some years I go by myself; other years I’ve gone with my family and some friends. This year I went with one of my younger sisters […]
I’ve struggled with how to approach this post. I don’t put much stock in the “war on Christmas,” but it does seem silly to pretend that people are merely celebrating “the holidays.” In fact, I’ve noticed that many of our atheist members are preparing to celebrate Christmas with their families. (No suprise there, really: most […]
HLI America is a part of Human Life International, a Catholic group opposed to birth control. So when I saw that they had released a survey of 800 women regarding hormonal contraceptive use, I took it with a grain of salt. Their interpretation emphasizes the negative; the HLI America website gives it the title “The […]
I always love the chance to share uplifting stories! Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, one of the most successful state-level pro-life groups in the country, is sending representatives to meet with pro-life leaders in Africa. Even cooler? Some of said leaders are Muslim. Executive Director Scott Fischbach will speak at meetings in four East African […]
Many state and local pro-life groups are beginning their campaign to get out the pro-life vote by distributing literature in church parking lots. This is a legal and fairly common practice. I don’t doubt the pro-life leaders who have found it to be effective through years of experience. But as far as engaging all pro-life […]
You may have already seen this, as it’s getting a lot of press, but let’s discuss it from a pro-life angle. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life has released the results of a 32-question religious quiz it administered to over 3400 Americans. Atheists and agnostics got an average of 20.9 questions correct, about […]
On Monday, LifeNews.com featured an article entitled “Poll: Religion Key in Shaping Abortion Opinions, Mostly for Pro-Life People.” While I don’t necessarily agree that it showed religion to be “key,” I did find the data to be quite interesting. Of course, raw data only takes us so far; we have to interpret it. 45% of […]
An easy, free way to help the pro-life movement is to participate in research! I’d like to bring two projects to your attention. First, a Cornell student is working on a research paper regarding support for incrementalism in the pro-life movement. He is looking for blog comment threads, discussion fora, recorded conversations, etc. on this […]
