By Mary DeTurris Poust Editor’s note. Earlier this week we posted a story written by two pro-abortionists in Ireland about how to encourage “critical thinking” in young children about the upcoming abortion referendum.

In advance of Irish abortion referendum By Dave Andrusko To say the mainstream press in the Republic of Ireland is pro-abortion is like saying it’s above freezing when the temperature is 100 degrees.

Smith The ink is barely dry on Canada’s expansive right to euthanasia and there is already much talk of expanding the killing to new categories–such as children.

What would you expect from a pro-abortion post running in the pro-abortion Huffington Post under the headline, “When The Person Shaming You For Your Abortion Is A Child: How the anti-abortion movement uses children to legitimize its message”? At the risk of being overly cynic, how about a narrative …

As we near Father’s day, all this week we will be posting stories about men and abortion, including in the June digital edition of National Right to Life News which we will publish Wednesday.
