By Maria Gallagher, Legislative/PAC Director, Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation It was a startling moment–a candidate standing on the Presidential debate stage, defending a long-outlawed practice in which a baby is partly delivered, then killed.

Clinton affirms support for partial-birth abortion, abortions up until just before birth

By Dave Andrusko As you would expect from a first-rate journalist, Fox News’ Chris Wallace held the candidates’ feet to the fire in last night’s third and final presidential debate.

Pence exposes Clinton/Kaine abortion extremism

Many politicians – and others – are afraid to discuss abortion. That’s a big mistake. Take vice presidential candidate Gov. Mike Pence’s debate performance on Tuesday. He won, and part of the reason was the way he handled abortion. No clichés, just compassion. No bumper sticker phrases, just facts. Let me quote Gov. Pence from …

“Widening the circle of inclusion and protection,” except for the unborn

Remembering that one time people marched for abortion a decade ago

  By Lauren Enriquez Ten years ago, the abortion movement experienced the only march in its history that ever paralleled Washington, D.C.’s annual pro-life March for Life.

There is no such thing as a “humane” late abortion…

  By Randall K. O’Bannon, Ph.D., NRL-ETF Director of Education & Research Editor’s note. This post ran a few months ago and received such positive attention that it seemed appropriate to run it again today.
