I became Executive Director of Miami Right to Life in June 1989—a small but well-funded and incredibly organized group affiliated with Florida Right to Life. I was in my 20s, and it was my first foray into pro-life advocacy. On Thursday, September 14, 1989, I was alone at the office when I received an anonymous call from a labor and delivery nurse at Miami’s Baptist Hospital. She began the conversation by emphatically stating, “I’m pro-choice, but what I witnessed last night was wrong.” She went on to explain that she had seen a live birth during an abortion attempt, that...

These two women are talking about why they would NOT vote for Trump. Yes it is because of abortion but their reasons are beyond belief.

A College Fix article that went viral last fall drew attention to an emerging inclination among young people: pro-life activists who engage college students on campuses across the country are seeing support for so-called “post-birth abortion,” or the killing of infants and young children. It was a report so shocking, many did not want to believe it. In response to the article – shared on social media nearly 50,000 times and sparking a national dialogue – Snopes.com attempted to debunk the claim by complaining the piece spun anecdotal evidence into a “study.” Students for Life also published a piece saying...

In an article for the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, a well-known Canadian bioethicist – Udo Schuklenk – argues that aborting a child after birth is moral. Naturally, Schuklenk draws his own arbitrary lines as to when after-birth abortion is moral. He says that when a baby’s life contains “overwhelming pain and suffering,” it would be a moral choice. Schuklenk thinks that even future overwhelming pain and suffering should be considered, not just what a baby might currently be dealing with. And in a horrifying pro-choice statement, Schuklenk writes: The parents should be able to freely decide on what...

I’m beginning to wonder if Mr Romney’s gentle Mormonism won’t let him go in for the kill... ‘Kill’ being the right word... What the Republicans have is a tape made at the time Mr Obama voted repeatedly in the Illinois State Senate to deny rights of basic medical care to any child born alive in a botched abortion. Mr Obama is on tape referring to the victim as ‘a foetus outside the womb.’ [snip]Mr Obama takes the position that, even when a child who is the target of an abortion attempt makes it as far as lying on a table...

Australian Ethicists Argue the Right to Kill Babies After They’re Born Liberty Counsel An article entitled “After-birth abortion: Why should the baby live?” was recently published in the London-based "Journal of Medical Ethics," advocating that if abortion is allowed, then society also has the right to kill a newborn child. This outrageous deduction by Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva takes abortion to its logical conclusion. The abstract states: “By showing that (1) both fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons, (2) the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant and (3) adoption...

Newborns cannot be considered “persons,” meaning there is no moral reason not to perform “after-birth abortions,” argue a pair of Australian ethicists in a controversial paper that has drawn death threats. The authors, both of whom have worked at Melbourne University, say that killing even a healthy newborn could be acceptable if raising the child would put an unacceptable burden on the family.
