Cancer is a very real and scary thing in my family, particularly breast and ovarian cancer. When I give my medical history to new doctors, they usually stop writing about five minutes into it and just stare at me. It’s that bad, especially on my mom’s side. When the Susan G. Komen Foundation reached out [...]

Unfortunately, I spend a lot of time writing posts against Feministing. As a commenter Brando said the other day, “as for Feministing, the excerpt you posted is typical of their sputtering vitriol and merits no comment. They’re too busy seething with hatred to let a rational thought enter their heads.” What an accurate description! However, [...]

There are few new arguments in the abortion debate, which is heating back up thanks to health care. Honestly, abortion comes down to perspective. Those on the pro-life side view the issue from the perspective of the unborn. Thanks to neo-natal medicine, it’s difficult to argue that life doesn’t start at conception or very shortly [...]

Finally! The pro-life community is fired up and ready to take down so-called “pro-life” Democrats. After the Stupak sham yesterday, I haven’t seen the gloves come off in a long, long time. Some may scoff, thinking the pro-life community is dead. Remember that young people are more pro-life than pro-choice. Also, the pro-abortion community has [...]

Last week, Gallup released a poll showing that younger Americans (18-29) are more pro-life than their parents. This is particularly interesting since 18-29 year-olds only represents about half of the Millenial generation, yet we are trending more conservative than our parents did on this issue. This could be a reflection of society growing more pro-life, [...]

I know that much of the health care debate has surrounded the government funding of abortion, and we all know where I fall on that debate. However, I had not read how the Senate bill would implement the policy until I read this Washington Times article: The groups are divided over whether the Senate bill [...]

Despite promises from Obama and a strongly-supported measure in the House, the new version of the health care bill funds abortions. Americans United for Life Action have a new ad urging Congress and Obama to prohibit any federal funding from going to abortions. Susan B. Anthony List also has more information about abortion and the [...]

Once upon a time, I used to find common ground with liberals on the abortion issue. We both agreed that all sides were too polarized to actually accomplish anything and that society could make some changes to decrease the demand for abortion. I’ve long advocated that birth control should be more readily accessible and abstinence-plus [...]

What is the leading cause of death for African-Americans? It’s not heart disease. It’s not cancer. It’s abortion. 40% of pregnancies among African-American women end in abortion. Minorities make up just 13% of the US population but account for 36% of all abortions conducted. Last fall, CNS reported on a recent report from the Centers [...]

It’s rare that a Washington Post columnist echos sentiments that were written here. Sally Jenkins, a sports columnist and self-declared feminist defends Tim Tebow over the silly media frenzy that NOW has concocted in a desperate plea for media attention. While I disagree with her politics, Jenkins nails it with her column on several points. [...]
