The reason for my New York mommy field trip wasn’t just to spend time with my fabulous friend Lori. That was actually just a bonus. My primary purpose was to speak at Camp Esther, New York State Right to Life’s pro-life youth camp for teens. It’s more like pro-life boot camp, and these kids are […]
Today (right now, actually!) I’m flying to New York to spend time with my wonderful friend Lori and speak at the New York State Right to Life pro-life camp for teens. Over the past few months, I’ve been ramping up my writing, including re-engaging in my pro-life work. A long time ago, pre-kids, I did […]
Life News reported on the story of Paulo Henrique Machado, a man who has lived in a hospital his entire life. He’s a computer animator who is making a 3-D movie about his life. The story is picking up steam in the media and looks like it may go viral. I don’t know if that says […]
I’m doing some research for some presentations and came across this excellent presentation by Wesley Smith. It’s about 30 minutes, and very worth the time. The Question: Does human life have ultimate value, merely because it is human life? Is our humanity relevant to our moral value? If the answer is “No,” then what does […]

However, coercive abortion happens here, too. Either through direct force or non-physical pressure, 64% of women report some form of pressure to abort, with often devastating physical and […]
Today the Texas Senate Health and Human Services Committee will take up Senate Bill 1. Pro-lifers in blue and abortion advocates in orange will inundate the capital, making their voices heard. Hopefully, we’ll have more Amazing Grace and less Hail Satan. I can’t be in Austin, but I’ll be wearing blue, a Doctor Who shirt […]
Glenn Reynolds, (AKA the Instapundit) and Ann Althouse are having a blog post exchange on the rights and responsibilities of men and women when it comes to sex and parenting, particularly what rights men have when it comes to the children they father. It began with cases of unaccidental pregnancy and the rights and responsibilities […]
The UN estimates that there are 200,000,000 missing girls in the world today. That number may actually be smaller than reality since China boasts of aborting 336,000,000 unborn children, a majority of those girls.
