Live Action exposes Planned Parenthood as a bunch of low lifes. This time, Live Action shows PP's cooperation with people who are running an underage sex ring. My problem is shared by Big Blue Wave: Live Action gets their information from PP by posing as people they are not. In other words, they are lying. This might be fine for 60 Minutes but pro-lifers [...]
With the polygamy case in British Columbia, there has been a lot in the media about polygamy. It is certainly good copy, a real-life Big Love. Our lead editorial in the January issue noted that in an age of same-sex 'marriage' it was only a matter of time until plural marriage became legal. If the gender doesn't matter, why then should the number? [...]
Jeff Jacoby has a column in the Boston Globe about the evasions surrounding pro-abortion rhetoric, starting off with calling abortion anything but abortion (choice, reproductive freedom, etc...). Definitely worth reading although there won't be much new to most people who have thought about the issue. I take some issue with the conclusion, however: Abortion is always a violent and awful thing, whether it [...]
Joe Campbell is a very funny writer, but our Light is Right columnist had reservations about tackling abortion directly. That is understandabe; the topic does not easily lend itself to laugh-lines and comic asides. I think Campbell hit a homerun of a column this month in "Parsing 'pro-choice' prose," which shreds the rhetoric and arguments of abortion advocates. A sample: Maybe rights depend on location, and carry [...]
We congratulate and applaud all those who are commemorating Roe v. Wade by participating in the March for Life in Washington DC, in sub-freezing temperatures. Since Roe, 50 million American babies have been killed in utero. It is not a day worth celebrating as President Barack Obama believes, but a day of mourning and a day to re-commit ourselves to renewing the Culture of [...]
Here's the first draft of our February cover story about Philadelphia abortionists Kermit Gosnell. House of horrors Philadelphia abortionist faces 39 charges in connection with death of woman, seven newborns Paul Tuns A Philadelphia abortionist has been arrested in connection to the murders of a pregnant woman and seven newborn babies in a case that has garnered international attention. On Jan. 19, [...]
NRO's Robert VerBruggen writes about abortion being little more than birth control (every year 2% of women of child-bearing age have an abortion and half of them are not having their first!) and the article has numerous important and interesting facts that are not widely known but which go a long way to raise doubts about the abortion license. However, VerBruggen raises [...]
LifeSiteNews reports that the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is committed to ensuring that every one of its 85 regions and affiliates has at least one facility that offers surgical abortions. This will be possible likely due to ... wait for it ... Obamacare. There is more about the PP abortion mandate in this Newark Star-Ledger article, which reports that in New Jersey alone, it is [...]
From the Philadelphia Inquirer reports: An abortion doctor has been arrested and charged with the murder of a patient and seven live infants whose spines were severed with scissors at a West Philadelphia clinic that has been described as a house of horrors, officials said today. District Attorney Seth Williams said the doctor, Kermit P. Gosnell, was charged following a grand jury investigation... [...]
Among a list of 145 supposed Conservative broken promises, the Liberal Party charges the Harper government with breaking its promise not to raise the abortion issue: 144. A Conservative Government will not initiate or support any legislation to regulate abortion. Government Action: Broken. The Conservative government further isolated Canada from the rest of the developed world and breaking with 25 years of Canadian [...]
Sargent Shriver, brother-in-law to John and Teddy Kennedy, has passed away. CatholicVote notes: As the Democratic candidate for vice president in 1972, Sargent Shriver remains to this day the last pro-life candidate to run on the presidential ticket as a Democrat. But Ted Kennedy was pro-life in 1972 as well, right? But unlike other Kennedys, Shriver remained pro-life for the rest of his life. [...]
William McGurn begins his Wall Street Journal column today with a question: "Are babies better than abortions?" To be fair to abortion supporters, they will say the answer is context-dependent and therefore every woman should decide for herself. But then why do abortion advocates so strenuously oppose efforts (such as crisis pregnancy centers) that seek to persuade women to choose life rather than abortion? That's the [...]
Tomorrow Republicans will introduce a bill to repeal Obamacare. It is going to fail because it will get bogged down in the Senate and will be vetoed by the president, so this political move is not only foolish and a waste of time, but possibly counter-productive. Throwing this bone to the Tea Party and conservative base and losing the battle to repeal will [...]
I understand the pro-life community trying to wrap itself in the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., and it is even more powerful when a member of the deceased civil rights leader's family does it. Priests for Life reports: Dr. Alveda King, full-time Director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said today that [...]
Interimcolumnist Rory Leishman looks at President George W. Bush's memoir Decision Points and finds affirmation of a very pro-life president. Leishman concludes: Pro-lifers are deeply indebted to George W. Bush. We should hope and pray that the United States and Canada will soon have another leader no less dedicated than he to upholding the sanctity of human life from fertilization to natural death.
