• “Intellectual” Richard Dawkins told someone on Twitter that bringing a child with Down Syndrome to birth is “immoral.”
• An Alabama abortion clinic (which couldn’t meet safety standards at its current location) has been given permission to relocate.

• Live Action comments on the recent Al Jazeera appearance of Lila Rose, who was the sole representative of the pro-life cause on the program. Rose was pitted against several abortion supporters, including Katie Stack (formerly of MTV’s “No Easy Decision”), who is now employed as a clinic escort yet seems to be both struggling with and seeking to justify her past abortion:

On January 14 The New York Times ran an intriguing story about the pro-abortion/post-abortion counseling group Exhale. The journalist writing the story, Shoshana Walters, contacted me last week asking my thoughts about MTV’s No Easy Decision. Then the Arizona shootings derailed that story, so its focus was changed, Ms. Walters called back to say, to […]

by JivinJ, host of the blog, JivinJehoshaphat The IA Board of Medicine has said that it will not sanction abortionist Susan Haskell for providing telemed abortions: … As is customary in such instances, the board did not explain its reasoning. “Although this may not be the outcome you were seeking, you can be assured that […]

by JivinJ, host of the blog, JivinJehoshaphat Dr. Drew Pinsky has indicated that MTV’s No Easy Decision abortion special made him uncomfortable: “The topic makes me uncomfortable,” Pinsky admitted Thursday at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena. “But the paradigm there is I felt the conversation was worth having. You have to let […]
