What is the “Language War of the Abortion Debate” about and who is winning?  

By Dave Andrusko Editor’s note. Today’s repost of a story that appeared in NRL News Today reminds us that pro-abortion publications occasionally stumble across the truth and that passing pro-life laws and thwarting pro-abortion initiatives require elected officials who understand unborn babies are human beings deserving of protection. I’d like to comment on two abortion-related stories that …

By Dave Andrusko Yesterday, Florida Phoenix reporter  Michael Moline wrote a speculative piece about how soon (it’s “drawing nearer to deciding”) the Florida Supreme Court will come down on the constitutionality of the state’s law protecting unborn children after 15 weeks. If the justices uphold HB 5, or the Reducing Fetal and Infant Mortality bill, it gives them the opportunity …

Can a baby smile in his mother’s womb? Even Snopes answers yes!

By Dave Andrusko I guess it proves the human equivalent of the idiom that even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.  Snopes’ Fact Check asked “Does This Image Show Fetus Smiling in Mother’s Womb?”— and, more specifically, it posed the claim to be evaluated as whether “An image shows a sonogram …

“To be pro-choice is to be against forced life” says pro-abortion feminist

“Abortion Involves Killing–and That’s OK!” says Sophie Lewis By Dave Andrusko Last June when Roe received its just reward, it soon became obvious that at turning point moments like this we would see how the other side feels—and what it really believes— in all its ugliness.  I will never, ever forget the women who paraded, dripping in …

A dad’s unimaginably poignant farewell lullaby to his dying baby boy

By Dave Andrusko Editor’s note. This incredible, beautiful story first appeared in NRL News Today eight years ago. It is so inspirational I felt the obligation to run it again. How could it not have been? How could a YouTube video of a dad tenderly singing to his dying newborn baby son not go viral?  It has been viewed over 18,000,000 times! …
