Continue reading "An Unborn Child is Counting on You"By Micaiah Bilger, Education Director, Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation Lifelines Every baby is a miracle. I’ve heard that saying many, many times, but I understand it a lot better now that I’m working in the pro-life movement. Especially when I read stories about babies like Hannah. While Hannah was still in the womb, doctors diagnosed …

How do you account …
Continue reading "The Right-to-Life Movement: Alive and Well"By Joleigh Little, Region Coordinator and Teens for Life Director at Wisconsin Right to Life I get so terribly weary of hearing about this manufactured “war on women” that our side of the aisle is allegedly waging. I can speak to this issue as both a woman and a single mom with a daughter, …

Two areas of current push in this regard are the drive to permit infanticide and to harvest organs from living cognitively devastated patients.But there’s an impediment: If human beings have equal moral value simply because they are …
Continue reading "Right to Life Only For “Thinkers?”"By Dave Andrusko Ellie Saul is a gifted writer, some of whose postings at bound4life.org she has happily allowed us to reprint. (To cite two examples, http://nrlc.cc/YmXwZa and http://nrlc.cc/WztKEc.) I find her a delight for many reasons but first and foremost because her writings are bathed in a passionate concern for the unborn, the outpouring …
Continue reading "If not me, who? If not us, who?"By Dave Andrusko Granted, I only scratched the surface of the 2,600+ responses to “Why Pro-lifers keep fighting abortion,” but I think I get the drift. Message: “drop dead, prolifers.” Hey, that’s okay. Helen M. Alvaré and Meg T. McDonnell no doubt anticipated a hailstorm of withering blowback to their opinion piece in the Washington …
Continue reading "Why, against impressive odds, does our Movement not only survive but thrive?"By Dave Andrusko Today is my oldest daughter’s birthday. The weather is altogether different than it was in 1983; it is relatively warm outside and the ground is free of snow.

Continue reading "Endless Love"By Dave Andrusko It can be helpful to compare and contrast, even when the conflicting viewpoints are, on the one hand, a recipe for disaster, and, on the other hand, a reminder of how much the Republican Party stands to lose if it softens its staunchly pro-life position. Side by side they can tell us …
Continue reading "Why the Movement will bounce back"By Joleigh Little, Teens for Life Director, Wisconsin Right to Life After years of hearing the (absolutely false to the point of absurdity) claim that the right-to-life movement is dominated by men, I’m going to do something that might be considered a little odd. I’m going to focus on men. Before I do that, let …
