  By Kathy Ostrowski, Kansans for Life Legislative Director A snarky taunt hurled at pro-lifers through the years has been, “If you are against abortion, just don’t have one!” With the Guttmacher Institute study concluding that abortions are at a 30-year low, as well as a lower national abortion rate and ratio, it appears that …

Guttmacher bemoans avalanche of pro-life legislation, misses entirely the reasons why

  By Dave Andrusko I was literally just watching a clip from “Up with Steve [Kornack],” a typical MSNBC agit-prop program, when the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute issued a report titled, “More State Abortion Restrictions Were Enacted in 2011–2013 Than in the Entire Previous Decade.” That came a few hours after I viewed a portion of …
