Dr. Al Mohler has put up a brilliant article talking about Francis Collins’ position as the head of the National Institutes of Health. Collins, though a Christian, has backed down on embryonic stem cell research and said that while we shouldn’t create embryos for the purpose of farming them for research, we should use the … Continue reading
Charlie Crist, the current governor of Florida vetoed a bill that would require women seeking an abortion in their first trimester to have an ultrasound prior to the abortion. The quote of interest to me is where Crist says, Individuals hold strong personal views on the issue of life, as do I,” Crist wrote. “However, … Continue reading
Recently, Alaska has been in the news for putting a parental notification law on the ballot. Of course, multiple people have jumped up to say that such a law somehow violates women’s rights. How the law violates women’s rights when these same “women” (under-aged girls) have to get parental consent for medical treatment, not just … Continue reading
ABC put forth possibly one of the most biased reports I’ve seen in quite some time. Starting with an emotional appeal, the article reveals its bias in a most blatant manner, “But under a new law in Oklahoma, women like Casteix, who have been sexually assaulted, will be forced to undergo a second trauma. The law … Continue reading

Recently, President Obama called for a “fair-minded” discussion on abortion. My question is quite simple; does he actually understand the severity of this issue? If a fetus is a human being, then abortion is murder. If a fetus is not a human being, then pro-life advocates are advocating the restriction of women’s rights. The consequences … Continue reading
Here is an extremely eloquent 12 year-old speaking on the issue of abortion. What I’m impressed by, other than her great job at delivering the speech, are the arguments she uses on abortion. The statistics are nice, but I like her philosophical arguments against abortion at the beginning. For your enjoyment:
Adding onto the “Christian and Abortion Series” - Lately a lot of Christians have been coming out and saying they’re pro-choice, declaring they’re not necessarily for abortion, but they are for the right of the woman to choose. I want to look at some of the arguments for this and argue why a Christian … Continue reading
I feel I have offered an adequate (though certainly not comprehensive) explanation of why abortion is not only unethical, but should also be considered illegal. I have also done this through nonreligious arguments in an attempt to show that even someone under a secular point of view can and should reject abortion (with medical … Continue reading
