In a recent speech to the residents of Bettendorf, Iowa, Governor Perry not only took on the amount of money that elected representatives make and their seemingly permanent positions in Washington, but he also announced that part of his plan was to remove federal funding for Planned Parenthood so that our tax dollars will not [...]
That’s what CBS Outdoor thought: This time CBS said that the picture needed to go because abortion “is a potentially emotional topic that might be unduly disturbing to young women who may have made the kinds of choices that the displays deal with,” according to the complaint. A message from the company to Counsel board [...]
It was High School. Eleventh Grade. I was in Social Studies class and the teacher, a younger guy who was still full of energy and wanting to teach, decided that it would be interesting to get a class debate together decided on the topic of abortion. Abortion is a weird topic for teens, because many [...]
If you read the articles from Planned Parenthood supporters, you’d get the impression that the House Majority is set to send women back into slavery to men: The dusty old argument that female sexuality is a subversive force that needs to be strictly controlled isn’t as dead as we thought. The mainstream conservative movement is [...]
Part of the rights that women think that they are entitled to is sex without consequences. When they say a woman’s right to privacy means that they can kill an unborn child, what they are implying is that they want to have what they believe men have—the ability to have sex and not have the [...]
North Dakota has led the way in terms of chipping away at abortion rights. Along with Mississippi and other Bible Belt states, North Dakota has sought time and again to test the Supreme Courts ruling that has allowed women in the United States to kill their unborn children at any stage of their pregnancies.
One of the things that should bother everyone about Planned Parenthood and Abortion is that the company that provides the abortions is also the same company that is being paid money by the federal government and seeks to profit only if the person chooses to terminate the pregnancy. There is no way—even if you agree [...]
Pregnancy should be the most exciting time in a young woman’s life. It should be the time where you count the days (and sometimes hours) until the new life inside the womb makes an appearance on the world’s stage. Unfortunately, for many new mothers, pregnancy is accompanied by worry, concern, and shame.
The surprise of the Health Insurance debate last fall was that just when the House figured the bill was a go, a bunch of Pro-Life Democrats said “no.” They needed better language in the bill in order to make sure that the “Hyde Amendment”1 stayed valid. So, I’m sure you’re thinking that President Obama must [...]
Though the timing of a pregnancy may come as a surprise, virtually no one that has a physical relationship with another person is unaware that that activity can cause a pregnancy. Indeed, we’re explaining to children at ever younger ages how children are made a formed along with providing them with means and methods that [...]
A radio commercial I hear almost every day has the voices of children claiming that one day they will discover the cure for HIV/AIDS, be President of the United States, and broker a peace treaty between Israel and Palestine—if only we’ll say yes to the latest education fad. A television commercial asking us to donate [...]
Banning Abortion would not stop abortions from happening, we’re told, because they’ll happen regardless. Wouldn’t we prefer that abortions happen in doctor’s offices instead of back alleys? Wouldn’t we want to keep people that want abortions safe? What if we applied this logic to other societal ills—like slavery?
The 1976 Hyde Amendment was passed to prevent people that had moral problems with abortion from having to have their tax dollars fund abortion. This was part of the natural reaction of the Pro-Life side to the fact that the United States Supreme Court “found” the right to have an abortion hidden between the lines [...]
We’re going to resurrect Pro-Life Fridays and start looking again at life in the womb by answering some more Pro-Choice questions. This is an exciting time for the Pro-Life movement, for in the middle of a terrible health care bill came a surprise in the further limiting of Federal Funding when it comes abortions. So, [...]
