A gym teacher of mine once promised to “separate the men from the boys.” While I’m sure that would provoke a lawsuit today, the abortion industry is still separating the girls… …from their arms, legs, and torsos. By 16 weeks, a child’s sex is usually visible on an ultrasound, and for too many girls, that’s […]
A Chinese mother recovers from surgery with her forcibly aborted baby by her side. Today marks the 35th anniversary of China’s infamous one-child policy. It is difficult for me, as an American, to wrap my head around the scale of this human rights disaster. Indeed, it’s sometimes painful for me to look the abortion crisis […]
For those of us in the United States, November 4th is election day. Of particular concern to pro-lifers, the November 4th election will determine control of the Senate, which approves Supreme Court nominees. Given the age of some of our current Justices, both pro- and anti-abortion, there’s no telling what could happen between now and […]
Emma Watson at the United Nations, via CBS News [Today’s guest post by Victoria Godwin is part of our paid blogging program.] Emma Watson. Who doesn’t love her? Emma Watson seems to be strong lady who has carried herself with poise and grace even whilst being in the spotlight. I love her acting, applaud her […]
[Today’s guest post is by K. M. Misener.] Far too many abortion debates are framed in the most simple, black and white terms: “Are you for abortion or against it?” However, there are many shades of gray between the two extremes of an absolute ban on abortion from the moment of fertilization vs. abortion on […]
[Today’s guest post by Roger McCormack is part of our paid blogging program.] I wrote recently on this blog regarding the connection between religious chauvinism and sex-selective abortion, using reactionary Hinduism as an example. Sadly, this phenomenon extends to the Muslim world as well. Extremist Islamic subcultures devalue women, and sometimes this devaluation is accomplished […]
Currently, abortion is generally legal in the United States through all nine months of pregnancy (except in about 11 states) for generally any reason. Our government recently decided to vote on whether or not to ban sex-selection abortions, but ultimately decided not to ban them. At first blush, this seems pretty ridiculous to me. However, […]
Often in order for a person to be upset over something, their thinking has to be altered in some way or another, whether it be by a person’s story, a personal experience, or even a picture. Unfortunately the majority of us do not care about the major issues of our day until we are confronted […]
[Our first post by guest blogger LN.] I completely agree with pro-choice writer Allison Benedikt. In her article, “Why Pro-Choicers Should Be OK With Sex-Selection Abortions,” she points out that pro-choicers feeling squeamish about a particular reason for having an abortion makes no sense. She’s right. This is pretty elementary stuff: The pro-choice movement is […]
Thank you, Holmes. It’s very easy to form an opinion based on emotion or partial facts, and then cling to that opinion and filter further information accordingly (see “confirmation bias“). I would like the pro-life movement as a whole, and Secular Pro-Life particularly, to transcend this problem. I want ours to be an environment […]
