This past weekend was both the Reason Rally and the American Atheists Convention. SPL spends a lot of time advocating for secularism in the pro-life movement; last weekend was a great opportunity to advocate for pro-life positions in the secular movement. SPL arranged to have a table at the convention in the hopes of reaching […]
The pro-abortion claim that pro-lifers are anti-sex is nothing new. From Canadian abortion advocates’ recent attempt to make some kind of point by dressing up as penises and vaginas, to Amanda Marcotte’s bizarre assertion that pro-lifers’ motive in protesting outside abortion facilities is “to gawk and yell at women whose soon-to-be-terminated pregnancies constitute solid proof […]
Today’s post is a review of an article on Jezebel, in which a pro-choicer describes visiting a pregnancy help center, viewing her unborn baby on a sonogram, and then having an abortion. The author now rails against pregnancy centers. What I see above all in this story is a deep-seated grief that has been transformed […]
Two items from RH Reality Check today. First, I’m in a minor comment war over this post about the pro-life view on ectopic pregnancy. Pro-lifers generally don’t even think of ectopic pregnancy treatment as being an abortion at all. If an unborn baby is doomed to die, and the mother is at risk if the […]
Slate has two life-related stories today. The first is originally from the Financial Times: “Lost and Found,” the story of a baby girl with a heart defect who was found in a Shanghai alley. It’s actually a very sweet story, and I highly recommend reading the whole thing. But the author, who is an adoptive […]
Recently, pro-abortion blogger Amanda Marcotte wrote in opposition to the court decision which struck down New York City’s anti-pregnancy center law. She makes the usual accusations against pregnancy centers, always citing personal testimonies from CPC Watch, which is not exactly an unbiased source. She takes them as gospel, but has no problem rejecting the video […]
New Jersey senator Frank Lautenberg shocked the pro-life community with his comment that “These people don’t deserve the freedoms in the Constitution… but we’ll give it to them anyway.” In context, it’s abundantly clear that “these people” are pro-life advocates. Days later, he still has not responded to demands for an apology. So, what would […]
There’s been a lot of talk lately about legislation related to abortion and/or fetal life. Of course there is the Pence Amendment. I’ve seen people use this legislation as evidence that pro-lifers really don’t care about abortion and really do just want to control everyone’s sex lives by preventing them from accessing vital health care […]
In August 2009, pro-abortion blogger Amanda Marcotte wrote an article (or, more accurately, a string of ad hominems) entitled “Birthers and Anti-Choicers: One and the Same?” She concluded by saying that “the anti-choicers have moved on to concocting theories about how Planned Parenthood is part of a child sex ring that they’re covering up…” At […]
NARAL, one of America’s most prominent abortion advocacy groups, has released its annual report card, ranking states on their adherence to NARAL’s agenda. This grade is supposedly based on a state’s friendliness toward “reproductive rights,” a phrase often abused as a euphemism for abortion. I’ll spare you a detailed statistical analysis (although if you have […]
