Don’t Be An Ageist: Part 3

Posted on September 28, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
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

Posted on September 26, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
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.

Does America Favor Abortion Rights?

Posted on September 9, 2024 by David E Smith
Abortion is on the ballot again this election cycle, directly and indirectly. Obviously, the key presidential candidates and their teams differ greatly on this, as do others running for office. But abortion is on the ballot in 11 states that have referenda dealing with the issue...

Good News for Life in Chicago

Posted on May 22, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
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.

Protecting the Unborn Overseas

Posted on May 18, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
Once Dobbs came down, abortion became much more of a state debate than ever before. But there are still battles to be won in the nation's highest legislature. While Congress may be far from passing a national measure to completely protect the unborn, the pro-life movement still has warriors in D.C. who are pushing for justice in incremental steps.

The Pro-Life Intramural, Part 2

Posted on May 3, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
Last time, we discussed the two sides of the intramural pro-life debate: abolitionists and prudentialists. And we observed that each side has a valid perspective based on a very true aspect of the issue. But shall the twain ever meet?

Only God Should Play God, Part 2

Posted on May 1, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
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

Posted on April 27, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
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.

Bring Life to the Ballot Box

Posted on April 24, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
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.”

Posted on April 23, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
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.
