What Did States Do With Abortion This Election?

The 2024 Presidential Election was vital not only because of the Presidency but also because of 10 states that had abortion rights on the ballot. In the midst of the excitement after Trump’s victory, you may have missed the results of these ballot measures.

Debunking Arguments Against Legal Personhood for the Unborn: Part 3

Whether motivated by a concern for public image or other various emasculating considerations, the mainstream pro-life movement has often shied away from endorsing the logical conclusion of its whole position: If the unborn are people, then killing them is murder, and thus those who kill them should receive legal repercussions.

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.

Do Firefighters Support Arson?

Though I am not a firefighter, I know that sometimes that they have to use destructive methods to save structures and lives. Sometimes in fighting wildfires, it is necessary to burn portions of land to create a buffer and keep a fire from spreading. Imagine if these protective measures were twisted to suggest that firefighters support arson and destruction of property.

Earlier today, the Chicago City Council heard a proposal to institute a "quiet zone" around a particular abortion facility in the city to muzzle pro-lifers reaching out to abortion-bound mothers. Thankfully, this controversial proposal was deferred.

Only God Should Play God, Part 3

In our last piece, we continued our series on the troubling moral consequences of various forms of artificial reproduction technology. From the death of hordes of innocent human embryos to the violation of the sacred marriage commitment, the picture doesn't look pretty when man tries to play God. But we're not done yet. Let's look at a couple more implications of this vicious technological trend.

Only God Should Play God, Part 2

Last time, we discussed several moral issues that arise when man decides to "play God" in the area of human reproduction. In vitro fertilization always takes innocent life. Embryonic genetic editing tends towards the sad assumption that the mother is the only patient involved, because the embryo is not considered a patient. And efforts to alter a baby's genetics don't have an easy line between "health-related concerns" and flat-out "child enhancement."

Only God Should Play God, Part 1

The pro-life movement is solidly consolidated in its stance on abortion. And this is for good reason, given how heinous and grievous of a crime abortion is. However, abortion is not the only contemporary issue fundamentally affecting nascent life. One issue on which pro-lifers arguably have less of a consensus involves the medical practices for various forms of artificial reproductive technology.

The Pro-Life Intramural, Part 1

There's a common debate that tends to pop up in pro-life circles when "partial solutions" to the evil of abortion are proposed. Incremental pro-life moves, such as a ban on abortion after the baby is 15 weeks old, tend to draw both ire and praise from the same side of the aisle.

Bring Life to the Ballot Box

It comes as no surprise to me that the so-called “progressive” mind embraces the idea of a woman’s choice to end a pregnancy. Nor does it surprise me that those of the libertarian mindset are willing to jump on the bandwagon for “choice" as well. It’s their “keep government out of our bedroom” mentality.

“They Think It’s Murder. And It Kind of Is.”

For over 20 years, Bill Maher has hosted the show “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO. Recently, Maher was joined by Piers Morgan and Gillian Tett, a columnist for the Financial Times, to discuss the topic of abortion. In the clip, Morgan stated that Donald Trump’s recently articulated compromise on abortion is not that different from European countries.
