Even now, supporters of Obama are running ads which picture "back alley butcher" shops where women will be forced to go for abortions if anything were to happen to the Roe v. Wade decision. The truth, however, is that back-alley butcher shops would be tame compared to the death unleashed on us by Roe v.... Continue Reading →
Why Belabor Abortion?
Why continue harping on the same subject? Two reasons. (1) The awful destruction of human life in the wake of Roe v. Wade warrants the attention of any decent human being; (2) As this Pew Research poll reports, evangelicals are the only ones who are solidly in the pro-life camp nowadays. If we don't hammer...

More Rotten Fruit
Today, there is a nice article from Mona Charen detailing the rotten fruit of infanticide that is a reality of the abortion industry. Read this timely and significant article here.
Example of Bad Fruit
Abortion is supposed to be helpful because it enables us to detect "problem pregnancies" and dispose of them before the "problem pregnancy" becomes a "problem child." Forgetting for the moment that many of the so-called problem pregnancies result in the creation of a beautiful child like Trig Palin or Emily Rose, we can see that... Continue Reading →
Shifting to the Fruits
Shifting gears a bit in the abortion, I want to move downstream to the conversation about the fruits of abortion. Often, we judge decisions and directions based on the fruits they produce. We say the verdict is out until there has been sufficient time to assess whether the net result of the decision was a... Continue Reading →
Abortion Fact Checks
Barack Obama is clearly the most ardent sort of pro-abortion advocate. The record shows that he was instrumental in defeating the Infant Born Alive Protection Act while a state senator in Illinois. He has said that people are lying and misrepresenting the facts about his position, but the documents are on the table for review.... Continue Reading →
Palin Bad, Abortion Good
In an unusually frank admission, a leading doctor from Canada's OB/Gyn practices is worried that Palin's giving birth to Trig, her Down syndrome baby, is going to hurt the abortion industry. Up to 90% of Down pregnancies end in abortion. You can read the LA Times article here. I think this may have something to... Continue Reading →
Biden’s Bit on Abortion
Another common defense for pro-abortion advocates is the Joe Biden defense. Joe Biden of late has been saying that he is not in a position to push his views on others. He believes that a baby is a human from the moment of conception, but he doesn’t believe he has the right to tell others... Continue Reading →
Violins and Rights Violations
Another of the stronger arguments for abortion has been put forward by Judith Jarvis Thomson. She begins by assuming (as most of us would) that abortion is actually killing another human being. She doesn’t necessarily believe that it is the case that abortion is murder, but she wants to make a strong argument for abortion.... Continue Reading →
Saplings, Eaglets, and Little People
I want us to pause for a bit and consider a few other arguments for abortion. Judith Jarvis Thompson (and others) have put forward reasons for accepting abortion. We should listen to the best arguments and think about them because there are people who think they are doing good by supporting abortion rights for women.... Continue Reading →
Whose Body Is Aborted?
So, I wasn’t the only one thinking of putting out helpful, practical guides for speaking about abortion. Turns out, the guys over at “Between Two Worlds” are doing the same thing. They have published an article by D. A. Carson on practical strategies for discussing abortion. If you want a truly brilliant man’s advice on... Continue Reading →
What Kind of Right to Life?
The most egregious abuse of human rights in America is the practice of abortion. Ironically, many so-called civil rights groups support the practice. Be that as it may, I think the subject has been under America’s skin for more than 35 years now. Oddly, we don’t talk about it much. Many of us have been... Continue Reading →
