Disdain for pregnant women in the workplace is at a record high in our nation.  Pregnancy Discrimination cases are on the rise. In the past ten years the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or EEOC  has resolved pregnancy discrimination cases totaling $150.5 million in damages for over 52,000 women. Some say this is because of a competitive labor market that shows little mercy to [...]

Though the moral cost of abortion is rightly the primary focus of pro-life activists, it’s also worth noting that the “right to choose” and its various penumbras impose a more literal cost on society as well. The Kansas City Star reports that the state of Kansas has paid almost $597,000 this year to defend pro-life [...]

Last weekend, Vice President Joe Biden appeared in a televised interview on “Face the Nation.” Something he said both startled me and got me thinking. What, exactly, has President Obama’s intention been all along concerning contraception and abortion in the national health care plan? I don’t have answers, but I do have questions. To begin [...]

A Catholic film studio called Spirit Juice Studios released a short pro-life film called To Be Born last June. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch it for free at ToBeBorn.com, or click the embedded video below. I had the opportunity to interview Rob Kaczmark, the director of To Be Born, to ask [...]

The abortion crowd has so much invested in the narrative that pro-lifers are bullies that finding an actual example of pro-life misbehavior to exploit must feel like an early Christmas present. Washington Post columnist Petula Dvorak tells the tale of Todd Stave, the landlord of a Maryland abortion clinic where partial-birth abortions were performed by [...]

Liberty Counsel has successfully defended Susan Pine, a pro-life sidewalk counselor, in a case brought against Pine by the U.S. Department of Justice. According to Liberty Counsel’s Monday press release, the Department of Justice has dropped its appeal in the case, known as Holder v. Pine. The Department of Justice was pursuing thousands of dollars [...]

It was a roller-coaster fight for pro-life activists at the Georgia State Capitol this week. At its start on Monday, many Republicans in the Georgia legislature seemed ready to play politics with the lives of the unborn. After Speaker David Ralston blocked S.B. 438 (which would have stopped state employee health care plans from paying [...]

One of the human race’s favorite pastimes is being right. I personally love it. You probably do, too. The problems start when we declare ourselves right before we know what in the world we’re talking about. That’s what’s happening – on both sides – with Trayvon Martin. Some in the pro-life community are equating the [...]

“Young people are not the ‘future of the pro-life movement’.  Rather, they have an essential role in the pro-life movement right now.” So says John Jansen, co-director of Generations for Life. A short decade ago, in 2002, Generations for Life was founded “as the youth outreach of the Pro-Life Action League.” Jansen allowed me to interview [...]

From our illustriously misinformed president: At about 0:39, President Obama demonstrates that he seems to think that Planned Parenthood does mammograms. As Kristan Hawkins writes: Somehow the White House has missed the memo that PLANNED PARENTHOOD DOESN’T PROVIDE MAMMOGRAMS. We say it again, Mr. President: Planned Parenthood does not do mammograms. (They say people need [...]

Last week, pro-lifers in Idaho performed live ultrasounds on pregnant volunteers in order to show everyone watching that the non-traumatic ultrasound showed moving, living children. It was an attempt to prove that women seeking abortions should see that image of their child. The media and pro-aborts reported the act as a “spectacle,” “strange,” and “part [...]

Planned Parenthood’s research arm, the Guttmacher Institute, released a “State Policies in Brief,” dated March 1, 2012, concerning “Requirements for Ultrasound.”  In the very first paragraph of the very first page is a very deceptive statement.  Some might call it an outright lie: Since routine ultrasound is not considered medically necessary as a component of [...]

Spring days in Texas can be hot. Thirty-nine brave women are taking on the heat by walking 270 miles, from Houston to Dallas, for the ending of abortion. Laura Allred, founder of the Back to Life movement, is behind this remarkable journey. Laura had a pre-emptive  strategy to make a public stand against abortion before [...]

Her chubby hands clutched the two tiny babies as she lifted them to her chest, as if guarding them from harm. She swayed back and forth, just as any expert mother would do. My daughter had just found her two new favorite babies. In the moment, nothing was more important than them. She refused to [...]

Peaceful and silent, their mouths covered in red tape, dozens of young people prayed before a Planned Parenthood clinic for two hours last week in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The students from local colleges stood in a straight line facing the community. Wearing the band of red tape bearing the word “LIFE,” they were prevented from speaking [...]

President Barack Obama, the most pro-abortion president in our country’s history, has come out with a new video just in time to pander to his friends at Planned Parenthood. In it, he thanks the organization for protecting women’s health and slams lawmakers seeking to defund them. Obama frames this mainly as an issue of protecting [...]

Walk with me down this path of rational thought, won’t you? People who have sex for fun are having sex for recreation. That’s what doing something for fun is. I enjoy bowling, weaving, kayaking, and such. Some people enjoy sex. Whatever. Recreational activities should not be covered for free under any health care plan. “But [...]

Not every case can be a winner. In Oklahoma, District Judge Bryan Dixon has invalidated the state’s law requiring abortionists to show their patients ultrasound images and read them descriptions of their babies before performing abortions: District Judge Bryan Dixon ruled the statute passed by the Oklahoma Legislature in 2010 is an unconstitutional special law, [...]

The spring campaign of 40 Days for Life ends this Sunday, April 1. This is your last opportunity to participate in the spring vigil! Get yourself and everyone you can to the nearest 40 Days for Life vigil and spread the word. As of this writing, the report is that 555 babies have been saved [...]

The picturesque Prince Edward Island, home to the beloved character Anne of Green Gables, is one of the safest places in the world for unborn children. There isn’t a single abortion provider on the island. A woman seeking an abortion must leave the island for a private clinic or visit the Halifax General Hospital for [...]
