Parental notification for abortion

Where ever you find yourself on the abortion debate, I would think that requiring parental notification for elective abortion should be a bipartisan stance.  Opponents of the requirement often cite assaults or even murders of teen girls who confessed to their parents that they are pregnant, which is … [Read more...]

Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Abortion

When I discuss abortion and reference the pro-choice side of the issue, I use the term abortion defender.  It doesn't (shouldn't) come across as confrontational, poisonous, and accurate.  I understand defenders of the right to elective abortion tend to prefer the term pro-choice.  Many of those who … [Read more...]

If abortion isn’t about what is in the womb, then…

Most arguments defending a mother's right to an an elective abortion rarely center around what it is that's being aborted.  It's not frivolous as to why either.  If the discussion takes a turn toward science or biology, they would be forced to admit abortion takes the life of an innocent human … [Read more...]

Elayne Boosler is bad at comedy and science

https://twitter.com/ElayneBoosler/statuses/388775844086181888 Comic past her prime, Elayne Boosler, attempts to mix poor humor with bad science.  Unfortunately for her, it's old news, the argument in support of abortion isn't new.  It confuses stages of development with ontological identity. … [Read more...]

Trending Now: #DefineGOPin3words

This is the perfect follow-up to my previous post where I point out that the political left use hyperbolic language to paint their ideological counterparts as evil and unworthy of consideration.  The political left views the political right as immoral for holding the beliefs they do.  If you oppose … [Read more...]

How the Political Left views the Political Right, and why there will never be common ground

In the days of old, American politicians could disagree yet still compromise with one another and get the job done.  Unfortunately, since the election of President George W.

War On Women: Old White Men

How often is the pro-life movement maligned as a War on Women waged by old white men? If I had a dime... But that’s politics. More often than not, truth takes a backseat to emotion and the ever-increasing urge to rile up the base. It’s a useful tool. And lately, destructive ideas need only a … [Read more...]

If you’re Black and support Democrats, you’re lucky to be alive…literally

I've never understood how Blacks in America can so unwaveringly support the Democrat party writ large given how the party has supported policies which are proven to not be in their best interest.  If you are Black in America especially in a large city, being born is literally a crap shoot. And … [Read more...]

Waiting periods: Tattoos vs. Abortion

Webcam Abortions…

Over the years, I’ve conversed with the most extreme and immoral antilifers on the planet, those in whom no shred of human decency exists. They’re found all over the web on various sites, but a treasure trove of these loons are right here on Wordpress. So I've decided to pick one every so often as … [Read more...]

The irony of abortion rights

This says it all when it comes to pro-abortion logic: The political left is obsessed with rights.  But what are rights? What rights do we actually have, and what makes them rights in the first place?  Many people blur the lines between what they believe ought to be rights and real inalienable … [Read more...]

Circumcision and abortion

I don't see circumcision to be immoral or barbaric.  If I were to suppose why people might believe it to be barbaric, I'd say because it's a religious practice.  You don't hear much about piercing infant's ears from that crowd, then again you might.  But I never do.  How disgusted could you be about … [Read more...]

Who needs elective abortion after 20 weeks?

Help me understand the pro-choice objection to prohibiting elective abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy; keeping in mind that 20 weeks is 5 months. Is it that 5 months isn't long enough to decide?  Is it that elective abortion should be as unrestricted as possible?  Is it something else? Why … [Read more...]

Someone at Planned Parenthood isn’t being honest

Advocates for and defenders of abortion are usually quick to point out that abortion services represent a mere (approx.) 3% of Planned Parenthood's business.  But whenever a new law restricting the unencumbered access to immediate abortion, we hear of dozens of abortion offices closing as a direct … [Read more...]

Misconceptions about abortion

I want to offer a few thoughts on just one paragraph and one citation from an article from The Slate on abortion. It’s not surprising that we need to look beyond the media gatekeepers for authentic expressions of this range of emotion.
