New Book From Steve Mosher Explodes the Myth of Overpopulation
by Colin Mason
As the very first line of Steven Mosher's latest book reads, we have all grown up "on a poisonous diet of overpopulation propaganda."

In fact, according to the world's experts -- even the ones advocating population control -- birthrates around the world are dropping at a precipitous rate.

Only Abstinence Education Offers 100 Percent Guarantee for Safe Sex
by Kevin Roeten
As parents, our offspring are worth everything. We want to keep them from developing STDs, AIDS, HIV, going through abortions, lower educational development, slavery, you name it.

Abortion Makes Mother's Day a Solemn Occasion for Many Women
by Maria Vitale
It may seem incongruous to talk about abortion in connection with Mother's Day. After all, this is a holiday meant to celebrate the amazing, life-affirming gift of motherhood.

Yale Student's Performance Art Ambiguity Covers Up Truth About Abortion
by Laura Echevarria
The problem with Shvarts’ project is that, between Yale’s and Shvarts’ explanations, the truth was lost and one wonders whether Shvarts lied, told half-truths or if she really told the truth and potentially injured herself for the sake of “art.” I really, really hope that for Shvarts’ sake that this was just a stunt.

Time for Pro-Life Advocates in Belize to Stand Up to Legalized Abortion
by Justin Nelson
Right now somewhere in Belize a baby is being murdered. No police will come to save him or her and it won't be reported on the news.

Sex Education Replacing Marriage the Basis of the Pro-Abortion Movement
by Colin Mason
The modern pro-choice movement is the spawn of the "sexual revolution" of the 1960's, in which a few million angry college students abandoned traditional norms of decency and the marriage bond. In its place they proposed a culture of what they termed "free love," which turned out to be a euphemism for unbridled lust; sex without responsibility or commitment.

Unforgettable Looks of an Abortion, How Seeing the Procedure Changes Minds
by Kevin Roeten
The act of aborting an individual is usually hidden in some Planned Parenthood office. A few doctors have physically seen the procedure done. A few others have seen the killings after the whole baby has left the uterus. Some truly grisly sights have been discovered in waste dumpsters. Not many of us really know exactly what goes on behind those closed doors. We therefore need to prepare.

by Warner Todd Huston
The Yale Daily News breathlessly informed us of a female student, art major Aliza Shvarts, who claimed that her senior art project was a documentation of nine months of self-induced miscarriages.

Keep Promoting Pro-Life Perspective Even When You Can't See Results
by Bryan Kemper
Things are often different in pro-life work. This is work where you really don't get to see a lot of the results.

You really have to learn to trust God to be in charge of the results and know that your work is changing lives whether you see it or not.

A Tragic Milestone - Abortion Deaths Daily far Exceed Iraq War Casualties
by Maria Vitale
Within the past week, newspaper headlines declared a tragic milestone: the overall death toll from the five-year war in Iraq has reached more than 4,000.

The Wheels of Pro-Life Change on Abortion Turn Slowly, But Keep the Faith

Washington Post Takes Hypocritical View of Supreme Court and Abortion Decision
by Ken Shepherd
It's "paternalistic" for the U.S. Supreme Court to tell a D.C. woman she can't have a partial-birth abortion. But it would be "perverse ideological purity" for the high court to strike down the city's handgun ban. That's the logic flowing from that great fount of legal wisdom, the Washington Post editorial board.

by Rev. Robert Fleischmann and Michael Klatt

Revisionist History: Misrepresenting President Ronald Reagan's Abortion Record
by Steven Ertelt
Conservative voters long for another Ronald Reagan as president and his deeply felt pro-life views are still alluring to pro-life people long after his administration.

by Alice Lemos
Spitzer’s latest gambit is the radicalization of New York’s already liberal abortion laws at a time when there is growing disapproval; - even in New York State – of abortion on demand.

by Laura Echevarria

Remarks From Terri Schiavo's Father Robert Schindler on Barack Obama's "Mistake"
