In 1963 when Martin Luther King Jr. shared his Dream with the nation, he never envisioned an America where ‘reproductive justice’ would end more than 56 million innocent human lives. His dream never pictured a nation where black boys and black girls would never be able to join hands with white boys and white girls, as sisters and brothers, because ‘freedom of choice’ determined some humans are simply not equal….

Dr. King wrongly believed birth control would reduce poverty. He also wrongly believed Planned Parenthood was interested in elevating poorer blacks. Their abortion numbers tell a completely different story.

A 9-year-old girl reflects on the value of life as she discusses her sibling, lost through miscarriage. She then expresses confusion with the legality of abortion, because “laws are supposed to protect people.”

I’ve always wanted about six [kids]. After having [North], I would have a million…. But the pregnancy – I wouldn’t really wish that upon anyone.

I mean, it’s all worth it in the end, so I would definitely suffer through that…But pregnancy was not a good experience for me. At all.

Watch the reaction of a little girl meeting her father’s twin brother for the first time. It rivals those from Jack Benny, the master of the double take.

Good friend Josh Brahm has posted a piece, “4 reasons pro-lifers need to stop doing this.” ”This” is:

One of my colleagues at Students for Life of America recently asked me for an example of pro-lifers doing things that appear weird to our society. The first thing that came to mind was something that my brother Timothy and I call FTV: “Fetus Tunnel Vision.”

fetus tunnel vision
noun
   1. the inability to see and/or acknowledge human rights injustices without equating or comparing them to abortion.

Josh listed four reasons, in short:

#1: You won’t persuade a lot of people to become pro-life while comparing every single instance of multiple people dying to abortion.

#2: Other human rights injustices matter too.

#3: Comparing every instance of mass killing to abortion is rude.

#4: Thoughtful pro-choice people will see that you’re begging the question.

Read Josh’s post for detailed explanations for the above four reasons. His bottom line:

What I’m arguing here is that we need to be able to see how horrible non-abortion injustices are, and respond appropriately. Doing this publicly will also have a side benefit of helping pro-choice people see that we’re normal human beings who oppose injustice. Then we can gain the opportunity to show abortion to be the injustice it is.

So, do you agree or disagree with Josh’s thesis?

We hope that the study will address continuing hate speech that vilifies women seeking reproductive health care as well as websites that encourage violence against healthcare providers at women’s clinics which we believe have led to the injuries and death of clinic personnel and volunteers.
