My name is Margaret Kelledy. I am a senior at Azusa Pacific University, and the President of our Students for Life chapter. I have been an avid pro-life activist for nearly nine years but I was never able to attend a Walk for Life until this year. As I walked through the streets of San Francisco surrounded by over 40,000 people who were all there with one goal in mind: to put an end to the senseless killing of God’s creations, I could not help but picture all the lives that will never get a chance to live.

January 24, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – What’s more newsworthy: that several hundred thousand people converged on Capitol Hill in the midst of a cold rain in the middle of January in order to protest abortion, or that a tiny handful of pro-abortion counter protesters showed up as well? Read more…

Monday, January 23, marks the 39th anniversary of Roe vs Wade. Hundreds of thousands of young people journeyed to our nation’s capital to protest this Supreme Court decision. This is nothing new; the protest and march has been going on for years, and it has been gaining in popularity. In fact it seems to me the entire pro-life movement has grown in recent years, especially among the younger set. Read more…

Americans United for Life (AUL) has released its seventh annual “Life List” revealing how states are moving closer to a pro-life America.
Forty-seven states considered more than 460 abortion-related measures and enacted more than 70 of them. At least 86 bills were introduced in 32 states that were based on the pro-life group’s model language. The ranking of all 50 states is based on the way each deals with a comprehensive list of life issues. Among the top states this year are Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Arkansas. Read more…

Eve Surgical Center’s business dates back to the 1980s, when it operated as a secret clinic until it was discovered by Operation Rescue in the early 1990s. After partial-birth abortions were banned by law, the process was modified so that the procedure began with a fatal injection into the unborn baby’s heart before the child’s body was extracted.

The European Union’s top court has ruled that patents cannot be granted on stem-cell techniques using human embryos.
While the decision is being heralded by pro-life and religious groups, Dr. David Prentice of Family Research Council says it doesn’t ban research on embryos or embryonic stem cells, but it does take away a lot of the incentive. Read more…

More than 80 percent of voters in Mississippi describe themselves as pro-life. Why then, did more than 55 percent vote against the so-called “personhood” amendment?
On November 8, the voters of what is arguably the most pro-life state in the union defeated a ballot initiative that would have declared life begins at fertilization. More than 80 percent of voters in Mississippi describe themselves as pro-life. Why then, did more than 55 percent vote against the so-called “personhood” amendment? Read more…

Aside from the “Right to View” provision, the rest of the state’s “Woman’s Right to Know” law has already gone into effect. The law was enacted in July by a bi-partisan override of Governor Beverly Perdue’s (D) veto. It requires that mothers seeking an abortion be given information about the abortion before the procedure is performed. Read more…

Article 1, Section 1 of the Ohio Constitution currently reads: “All persons are, by nature, free and independent and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life…” The Personhood Amendment would add that “the word ‘person’ or ‘persons’ applies to every human being at every stage of biological development of that human being or human organism, including fertilization.” Read more…
My first response to this story Betsy posted earlier this week about “Twin Reductions” at IVF clinics was to be appalled. But as I have reflected on it, there is more to the story than the outrageousness of it all.
To be sure, twin reduction is intrinsically appalling. Fertility doctors routinely implant multiple embryos in a woman’s womb, in the hopes that at least one of the babies will survive. “Selective reduction” is routine in the fertility industry, if “too many” babies survive.
“Twin reductions” is the next step in the process of killing for convenience. Women abort one of a pair of twins, not for medical or health reasons, but for “social reasons”, that is, for convenience. There is no particularly terrible risk to carrying twins. These mothers just can’t quite imagine taking care of two babies. They feel like they are too old to handle twins.
And by and large, doctors perform these abortions. The procedure itself is slightly creepy. Read more…

Public officials–especially the President–are obligated to protect the intrinsic equal dignity of all human beings, regardless not only of sex and race, but also without regard to age, size, condition of dependency, vulnerability, or the esteem of others. Abortion and embryo-destructive research are profound and lethal violations of this principle of equality to which the law (and the President) must respond. Read more…

Both the House (on a 72-47 vote) and Senate (29-19) have voted to override Democratic Governor Beverly Perdue’s veto of the Women’s Right to Know Act, and Mary Spaulding Balch of the National Right to Life Committee deems it “a great victory for mothers and their children.” She says such a ruling has been a long time coming.

Do pro-lifers care about life after birth?
One of the most frequently repeated truisms of the abortion debate is that pro-lifers really don’t care about life. As much as they talk about protecting the unborn, we are told, pro-lifers do nothing to support mothers and infants who are already in the world. Liberal writers such as Matthew Yglesias are given to observing that pro-lifers believe that “life begins at conception and ends at birth.” At Commonweal, David Gibson, a journalist who frequently covers the abortion debate, asks how much pro-lifers do for mothers: “I just want to know what realistic steps they are proposing or backing. I’m not sure I’d expect to hear anything from pro-life groups now since there’s really been nothing for years.” Read more…

Defenders of marriage should draw hope and courage from the pro-life movement’s success.
As an advocate of conjugal marriage, I am often told that I am on the “wrong side of History.” The justice of “marriage equality” is overwhelming; the younger generation favors it; same sex marriage is inevitable. But this analysis is false. Indeed, there is ample reason to think that the March of History storyline will be proven incorrect. The reason? We were told all these same things about abortion.

This video was made by the White Rose Project. Who are they? From their video description:
In 1942, a group of students from the University of Munich began a campaign to shine the light of truth in Nazi Germany. The White Rose was a movement to educate the citizens Germany and prick their conscious about the atrocities ravaging their country.
Though the danger was great, these students were determined to be a voice for victims of the Nazi Holocaust by educating the people of Germany. The White Rose believed the German people needed to know the truth and risked their lives to call them from apathy to action.
In 2011, a collection of American Pro-life Youth have come together in the face of the abortion holocaust that has been plaguing our nation. We have seen the need to shine the light of truth and activate the youth of America to rise up and take a stand. Read more…
