This week the Guttmacher Institute, former research arm of Planned
Parenthood, released a report on America’s abortion rate, “Abortion
Incidence and Service Availability in the United States, 2011.” Covering
2008 to 2011, this is the sixteenth such report, in which Guttmacher
surveys providers about the number of abortions they performed. Their
results are more accurate than even the CDC’s abortion surveillance,
which does not collect data from states with notoriously high abortion
rates, such as California. Guttmacher’s report is a powerful indicator
of the state of pre-born babies’ human rights in the U.S. Read more… |
Before the March, we went back and forth over Bridges’ claim that
“a woman has a property right in her body” and so “abortion … is not
murder but really eviction.” …
Bridges and other libertarians who argue that abortions are simply
“evictions from the womb” are really justifying murder. But these
libertarians must concede that unborn babies also have property rights
in their bodies and that mothers’ property rights can’t supersede unborn
babies’ rights to “life, liberty, and property.” Read more…

FBI announces 16 children rescued from sexual exploitation in Super Bowl stingIt’s
the ugly side of the Super Bowl – the reality that America’s most
popular sporting event is also likely America’s biggest day for sexual
slavery. The day that sells the most tickets and the most coveted ad
spaces is also the day that results in the most sales of little girls
and women, at prices inflated to match the expense of the event. In a
cruel outplay of the economic reality of “supply and demand,” it is not
only local pimps who make a big profit – women and girls from all over
the country are often brought in to the destination city to ensure that
travelers for the big game have enough “side entertainment” available. Read more… |
Powerful video reminds us that science is clear on when life begins
In
a battle over partial birth abortion in 1999, Senator Barbara Boxer
(D-CA) said to Rick Santorum that life begins “when you bring your baby
home, when your baby is born … the baby belongs to your family and has
all the rights.” The debate about when life begins stirs all sorts of
illogical assertions, and a new video seeks to set the truth of life in
the heart of America. Read more… |
Our favorite conspiracy theorist: sanctity of life just a front for policing women’s sex lives
Imagining ulterior motives for pro-lifers is perhaps pro-abortion
commentators’ favorite pastime. Though staggeringly condescending, and a
near-guarantee to derail any hope of productive dialogue between the
two sides, it’s nevertheless inevitable that those supporting the power
to murder one’s unborn sons and daughters will develop intense defense
mechanisms to avoid thinking about the horror they champion. If they can
convince themselves that nobody else really believes that abortion is
murder, they feel exempted from having to confront the possibility in
their own minds. Read more…
