On Friday the 13th of this year, the FDA approved a new abortion drug to be marketed under the name “ella.” Now there may be protests at my labeling it an abortion drug, but I do so deliberately and with solid evidence. [Not for young readers.]

Watch this video with a box of tissues at hand. Watch the whole thing…it’s worth it! As I reflect on this amazing story, I can’t help but wonder how many women have been coerced by their health care providers into ending the life of a baby who had “no chance of survival”–and how many more stories [...]

Practically the only group of women less likely to be childless now compared with about two decades ago are those with advanced [...]

An article that appears in the June 30, 2010 edition of The Times [London] represents a moral earthquake that resets an entire issue — and that issue is abortion. This chilling essay is hard to read, but impossible to ignore. To read it is to feel the moral ground shift under your feet. In “Yes, [...]

Marketplace recently ran a week-long series on China’s one-child policy, covering its history, the life of only children, parental expectations, exceptions to the rule, and the future economic repercussions of the policy. This is well worth listening to (and it’s a good idea to read the accompanying interviews and articles as well). In short, the [...]

Our good friend Doug Phillips over at Vision Forum just posted this commentary (the blockquote at the top is what he’s responding to): There are some disabled infants born with conditions so severe that doctors don’t really try to keep them alive. They allow them to die essentially through benign neglect. But that can be [...]

A revealing article in Newsweek shows the abortion rights movement in the United States painfully aware of its ageing leadership and lack of traction amongst young adults. NARAL president Nancy Keenan and others concede that they have failed to address the “moral complexity” of abortion, something that even pro-choice young people now take on board…. [...]

Where’s the outcry from feminists? HIV/AIDS is killing millions of women and children, so you’d think “women’s health” organizations would be the first in line to find a way to end its spread.
