By Daniel Gump (This article originally appeared on The Pro-Life Review.) It is often claimed by abortion proponents that induced abortions are “coded” the same as many other medical procedures. They also claim that physicians and pharmacists have withheld emergency treatments from patients to avoid any legal gray areas in states where induced abortions are […]
Summary of Pennsylvania’s Final Disposition of Fetal Remains Act Today’s guest post is by Daniel Gump. On January 11, 2021, Pennsylvania Representative Francis Ryan reintroduced the Final Disposition of Fetal Remains Act (House Bill No. 118) to The General Assembly of Pennsylvania.[1] He previously introduced it to the committee on health in September 2019.[2] This […]
Above: Pro-life youth demonstrate outside the Supreme Court; in the background, a sign reads “Keep abortion safe and legal.” Last week, The Atlantic published an article by Caitlin Flanagan entitled “The Dishonesty of the Abortion Debate: Why we need to face the best arguments from the other side.” I encourage you to read the whole […]
Over at Slate, abortion supporter Christina Cauterucci has an article about the phrase “except in the womb.” To call it an “article” is a bit generous. It’s really more of a rant. The thesis is basically “I do not like it when anti-abortion people say this.” Still, her annoyance is at least partially justified. For […]
Pro-choice Democrat Conor Lamb is the newest member of the House of Representatives, having squeaked out a special election win in Pennsylvania with just 641 more votes than his Republican opponent. The race was seen as a referendum on President Trump, who won the conservative district by 19 points in 2016. There has been no […]
I recently wrote an article responding to Joona Rasanen’s arguments regarding ectogenesis. Ectogenesis refers to an organism growing in an artificial environment outside the body in which it would normally be found. In this context, it refers to the human embryo or fetus gestating in an artificial womb rather than the woman’s womb who conceived […]
[Today’s guest post by Clinton Wilcox is part of our paid blogging program.] A few years ago, Bob Seidensticker, a Patheos blogger, wrote about an argument he called the Spectrum Argument. I wrote an article in response. Seidensticker just updated a response to me a few days ago, which you can read here. I’d like […]
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 […]
A pro-choice friend shared this tweet recently, via Women’s Rights News on facebook: Well, Jessica, that day has arrived. SPL has never been an abstinence-only organization, but we are totally comfortable saying that men who are unprepared to deal with fatherhood should not have sex. This statement is hardly revolutionary. Men are capable of self-control, […]
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 […]
