- Secular ProLife notes NARAL’s strong objection to a North Carolina bill which would add information on “the link between abortion and preterm birth” to school sex education curricula. Though even the pro-choice New York Times has reported on this link, NARAL has chosen to label it “propaganda.”
- Down on the Pharm examines the case of Kristopher Del Campo, a DePaul University student who is facing expulsion for exposing the identities of 13 confessed vandals – all of them adults – who were caught on security cameras destroying an authorized pro-life club display. The student vandals (who have not been disciplined) were named in a report, which Del Campo then posted online.
- While this year’s 40 Days for Life campaign faces opposition, prayer warriors have seen at least 245 babies saved from abortion. Participants at a Washington Planned Parenthood event said they were greeted by several pro-choice protestors – but their protest didn’t quite go as planned:
[One] prayer volunteer asked a group of about eight of them “what exactly they were protesting, since abortion on demand has been a legal reality for forty years…[.] Why should our prayers bother them? In my spirit I knew the real reason,” he said. “It is the shame and guilt that they are protesting.”“One lady was yelling at us…. [T]hen I spoke with her and told her my abortion story,” said yet another vigil participant, who’d had an abortion at this facility a number of years ago. “She ended up taking one of our balloons and hugging me and crying and left with lots more information about better services.”
- ProWomanProLife says a politician in Japan has suggested banning abortion in the country as a way to combat their national birth dearth and subsequent economic trouble.
- Stand True documents the 14th known botched abortion since 2008 at Southwestern Women’s Options in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the “grossly negligent” late-term abortionist Shelley Sella practices her trade. Pro-life activists were able to confirm that on March 1, the clinic called an ambulance company instead of 911 for this emergency, despite the fact that this can cause delays and is supposedly against the clinic’s own policy.
- Alveda King adds her own perspective on the recently-released study showing a large increase in breast cancer among young women.
- Right to Life of Michigan posts a video from CNN on the hug that revolutionized the way hospitals treat premature infants:

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Though even the pro-choice New York Times has reported on this link, NARAL has chosen to label it “anti-choice science.”
It must be tough for NARAL to admit that reality is pro-life. That’s a hard one for them to grapple with, I’m sure.
“Anti-choice science”, eh? The fact that they call it “science” is a win for pro-lifers, I say. Who is anti-science now?
Correction: What was originally quoted as “anti-choice science” was incorrect. The term NARAL used was “propaganda.” I have changed it accordingly. On a separate blog post, they titled it “anti-choice ‘science.'” Small difference, but I felt it warranted a change. Thanks!
Pass any laws lately, Merit? Arkansas just banned all abortions past the stage of a detectable heartbeat. ;)
xalisae, the courts will overturn it. In the meantime, many of the 500 or so Arkansas women each year who get abortions past the 12 weeks will go to Texas or Missouri to exercise their choices. Over 3800 women in Arkansas each year who get abortions in the first 12 weeks will still get them.
Unless the courts CAN’T overturn it, Merit. This is a great opportunity for the courts to be forced to consider the fetal human’s human rights-something they acknowledged that they refused to do in the Roe case, because it would topple the entire case. We’ve come a loooooong way in prenatal medical science, Merit. Do you really think an outdated case that knew it couldn’t stand up to even the information available in 1973 can triumph in the face of everything we know NOW?
You keep having fun helping to kill children, though. Hopefully soon, you’ll be considered an accomplice and therefore legally culpable in the killings. :)
Merit,
Does it ever give you abortion toleraters pause that you can even time that – whatever you may think it is – at 12 weeks? Can you do the same for a parasite or a tumor?
What strange lifefom could this be that is programmed for growth to a point of expulsion at about 9 months?
Just some fleeting thoughts.
xalisae, do you think the morning after pill should be outlawed, too? You do know some of you antiabortion people want that as well as other contraception/birth control outlawed.
Hans, your thoughts do fleet, I’ll give you that.

Ah. The inevitable bob-and-weave after the science behind the humanity of the unborn is mentioned. How predictable. The MAP and other CONTRACEPTION (not “birth control”) *possibly* preventing implantation (which the opposite is actually indicated by studies and statistics) is not the issue here. But don’t worry…if I were knowingly helping women kill their children for sport as a pastime and attempting to defend such a heinous thing, I’d want to change the subject, too. :3
After abortion is made illegal again, if anyone who I call an ally here today is actively campaigning to make such CONTRACEPTION measures illegal in addition to abortion, I’ll happily join you in opposing their attempt to do so. As long as a contraception method’s primary intent and function is to prevent ovulation or fertilization rather than hinder implantation, I will wholeheartedly support it even if others here do not.
But you know that, and you’re just trying to deflect and start us infighting, because you know some people here don’t agree with me and you’d like the heat taken off of you for your disgusting display of cheerleading for what science shows definitively to be the act of a mother putting her very young child to death.
