St. Francis Sisters ignore abortifacients, urges Walgreens to ban tobacco
by Bruce Edward Walker PHILADELPHIA, May 17, 2013 (Acton Institute) - Standing up for religious principles in an increasingly secularized and politicized country has become extremely difficult for religious and clergy.

Why Do “Pro-Choice” People Promote Abortion Instead of Childbirth?
With the convictions in the case against abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell – three counts of murdering live babies and one count of involuntary manslaughter – abortion is back in the national discussion. It’s pretty clear from the Grand Jury report that, during Gosnell’s thirty plus year career, he likely murdered hundreds, if not thousands of [...]
Man Takes 14-Year-Old to Planned Parenthood for Abortion to Hide Rape
A man in Washington state took a 14-year-old girl to a Planned Parenthood clinic for an abortion to cover up his sexual assault on the teenage girl.

Celebration: An Abortion Clinic Closes for Good in Michigan
As I reached out to take a bright yellow balloon with the bold word “LIFE” stamped across it, I was struck by the monumental significance of the event we were celebrating. A crowd of about 120 people, adults and children alike, was gathered on the grassy lawn behind a gray, dismal, not too imposing-looking building [...]
Group That Failed to Report Kermit Gosnell Blames Pro-Lifers
Washington, DC (LiveActionNews) — According to Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation, the “abortion stigma” is to blame for Kermit Gosnell’s now-notorious house of horrors. In a rather weak column for USA Today, Saporta tries to claim that abortion is totally safe and that Kermit Gosnell is just an aberration, an anomaly. If [...]
Why Do Families in International and Domestic Adoptions Resent Each Other?
Washington, DC (LiveActionNews) — This is a clip from an episode of Life Report called “Local Experts Clarify Domestic and International Adoption.” In this episode I interviewed Stephanie Grant, Executive Director of Infant of Prague Adoption Services, and Laurel Boylan, Founder of God’s Waiting Children.

Scandal of IRS Targeting Pro-Lifers May be Biggest Since Watergate
If the Watergate scandal went down as one of the worst in history, the recently revealed series of government abuses nicknamed “IRSGate” is on its way to becoming just as infamous, as details of rampant targeting and harassment of American entities (run, of course, by American citizens), based purely on the organizations’ or citizens’ political [...]
Adoption: A Beautiful Choice That’s Better Than Abortion
I will be participating in the Step Forward for Orphans March to bring awareness to the more than 10 million children around the world who live outside a family setting, in an institution, or even on the street. Adoption in the United States is often hindered by delays, bureaucracy, and prohibitive costs. Overseas adoptions are [...]

If you don’t work in policy or the pro-life movement, or if you’re not particularly passionate about the issue of abortion, you may never have heard of the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal funds for abortions (with the usual exceptions of cases of rape or incest or where a mother’s life is [...]
Woman With First Womb Transplant End Pregnancy, Baby Had No Heartbeat
This is so incredibly sad for so many reasons. There is really nothing else to say. (I have already expressed my concerns about uterine transplants here.) From the UK’s Daily Mail: A woman who was the first to have a successful womb transplant from a dead donor has had her pregnancy terminated after the embryo [...]
Man Indicted Under Unborn Victims Law for Killing His Unborn Child
History may have been made last week when federal prosecutors used the Unborn Victims of Violence Act (UVVA) to indict a man who is alleged to have killed his own unborn child. It is quite likely that this is the first use of the UVVA. The news of this terrible crime spread across the nation after [...]
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer IS Human Cloning
LifeNews Note: The following is a collection of brief write-ups from Wesley J. Smith on how media and scientists are obfuscating the cloning issue by claiming somatic cell nuclear transfer is not human cloning. Now that human cloning is upon us, look for many scientists and their camp followers (or ignorant reporters) to mislead about [...]
Gosnell Case Exposes Planned Parenthood and the Abortion Industry
As the trial of Kermit Gosnell exposed to the world the evil, ugly, and indefensible truth of Big Abortion, Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America (formerly National Abortion Rights Action League) were quick to throw him under the bus, applauding his conviction and implausibly blaming the pro-life community for Gosnell’s house of horrors. But that [...]

How Can You Use the Gosnell Case to Change Minds on Abortion?
Megan Almon from Life Training Institute joins Gabi and me to discuss how pro-lifers can have productive conversations about Gosnell, as well as the common mistakes pro-lifers should avoid. One of the most common questions we get is “how do you start non-weird conversations about abortion when you’re not on campus next to a pro-life [...]
Judge Stops Arkansas Law Banning Abortions at 12 Weeks
A judge has issued an injunction preventing the enforcement of the strongest pro-life law on the books in the nation. The measure bans abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
