From the Family Research Council comes the annual ProLifeCon on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, January 22, from 8:30-11:30a:

ProLifeCon… is a gathering for pro-life internet activists. Come and join us, as we hear from experts and legislators, who will inform you about the cutting edge of the pro-life movement and give you ways to make an impact on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the rest of the online world.

I’ll be stepping out of the emcee role to speak about pro-life blogging. Speakers this year will include:

• Joe Carter responds to the NY Times story editorial on the passage of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act:
  

  Which Republican leaders made the claim? Peters doesn’t say. He also doesn’t explain how — or even if — the abortion issue hurt the GOP with women in 2012. But everyone at the New York Times already knows it did, and common knowledge doesn’t need to be supported with facts, right?

Because that is the outcome […]

Click all graphics to enlarge… The pendulum has swung back. For the last 2 years Gallup’s annual poll asking the question, “With respect to the abortion issue, would you consider yourself to be pro-choice or pro-life?” swayed our way. This year it didn’t. What does it mean?

It was placed in a bucket, crying and struggling to breathe, and the medical personnel pretended not to notice. Soon the crying stopped. […]

We convince ourselves that they simply don’t realize what they’re doing. If only they could see – and honestly look at – the ultrasound pictures of an unborn child. If only we could convince them that what they consider a “clump of cells” is a person. If only they knew it was a human life […]
