Category: Roe v. Wade

By Maria V. Gallagher, Legislative Director, Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation The impact of the devastating U.S. Supreme Court decision known as Roe v. Wade ripples through the generations. I have often thought about the impact of Roe on families who lose children to abortion. An entire limb of the family tree is severed, meaning the loss of their children’s children …

By Maria V. Gallagher, Legislative Director, Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation When I began working as a secular journalist, the Associated Press stylebook became my Bible.  Although the AP stylebook has many competitors, it remains enormously influential.

“A New Ethic for Medicine  and Society” Editor’s note.

By Molly Noble Bull Editor’s note. The anniversary of Roe v. Wade was yesterday. The March for Life takes place tomorrow. Today and tomorrow we will continue to run prior stories that discussed that horrible decision which were particularly well received.
