Don’t Be An Ageist: Part 3
Last time, we explored a simple way to show someone that "pro-life except for rape and incest" is not really pro-life. Just ask him if the same circumstance that he thinks justifies abortion would also justify the killing of a two-year-old.

Would You Do This to a Two-Year-Old? Part 2
Last time, we discussed the reason why you cannot be "pro-life except for rape and incest." This is because, if you believe that circumstances of conception can be more significant than the innate value of the baby's life, then you really do not value the baby's life according to its true nature. Life is an inestimably valuable gift from God.

“Against Abortion Except for Rape/Incest?” Part 1

Debunking Arguments Against Legal Personhood for the Unborn: Part 3

Debunking Arguments Against Legal Personhood for the Unborn: Part 2
Fetal personhood laws could also impact contraception access, given that some members of the anti-abortion movement argue that IUDs and the emergency contraception Plan B can prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg and violate personhood, explains Mary Ziegler, an abortion law historian at the University of California, Davis, School of Law.

Debunking Arguments Against Legal Personhood for the Unborn: Part 1
For all that Dobbs did for the fight for life, there's one issue that it conspicuously avoided—whether the unborn are in fact human persons. Dobbs repeatedly made reference to supposed "fetal life," but refused to claim that this fetal life was the life of a person and thus entitled to protection.

Abortion is a Men’s Issue: Part 2
In Part 1, I relayed a conversation I had with a man on an airplane who recited the standard line about abortion being a "woman's choice" to justify his lack of opinion on the matter. I expressed my recent conviction about how wrong this perspective is, as well as my growing frustration with men who shirk their responsibility to speak up for the vulnerable.
