By Dave Andrusko Editor’s note. My family and I will be on our vacation through August 27. I will occasionally add new items but for the most part we will repost “the best of the best” — the stories our readers have told us they especially liked. It would be difficult to exaggerate this one. …

By Dave Andrusko Earlier today we posted a critique of the latest aren’t-chemical-abortions-wonderful study ground out by the same litany of pro-abortion academics. But, as we’ve reported over the years, chemical abortions can be dangerous to the mother and are invariably bloody and hugely painful, sometimes almost unbearably so.

By Sarah Terzo Dr. Paul Ranalli, Professor of Neurology at the University of Toronto, has stated, in reference to the pain felt by premature babies: “The only difference between a child in the womb at this stage or one born and therefore in an incubator, is how they receive oxygen – either through the umbilical …

By Sarah Terzo A pro-choice writer shared the following argument against laws protecting babies from late-term abortions: “We may, as many people do, sympathize with the pain we think the fetus feels, but we must be careful in saying that this sympathy establishes the personness of the fetus. It establishes nothing but our ability to …
Continue reading "Pro-Choicer: sympathy for the pain we think unborn babies feel means nothing"By Paul Stark “With respect to those meanings of ‘human’ that are relevant to the morality of abortion, any fetus is less human than an adult pig.” — A tweet from Richard Dawkins, echoing philosopher Peter Singer, who has made the same comparison. Dawkins is probably the world’s most famous, or infamous, proponent of atheism, …

Continue reading "Pro-abortionists lament 2017’s “Scariest abortion restrictions”"By Dave Andrusko It’s easy to forget that when pro-life legislation passes, it does not take effect until a date sometime in the future (barring successful pro-abortion legal shenanigans). But as Congress comes back into session today and state legislatures approach the opening of their sessions, we’re reminded of the good news that Ohio’s Pain-Capable …

Smith Assisted suicide is promoted in the USA with fear mongering about the terminally ill suffering with intractable pain for which nothing other than a lethal overdose will suffice. In actual suicide facilitation, existential issues–such as fears about being a burden or loss of dignity–rather than untreatable pain are the reasons people …
