George on “Obama and Infanticide”
“Obama chose to defend the widest possible scope for legal abortion by building a fence around it, even if that meant permitting a child who survives an abortion to be left to die without even being afforded basic comfort care.” Two of the greatest ethics minds today explain the controversy surrounding Senator Barack Obama’s blatant … Continue reading
“The motivation is abortion”
“The motivation is abortion,” says R. Alta Charo, a professor of law and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. “If the Supreme Court allows states to declare embryos as personhood, you would be in a position to say immediately that all abortions have to stop.” LifeEthics covered this story a few days ago, … Continue reading
Robert P. George on “Obama’s Abortion Extremism”
Professor Robert B. George has published a review of Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama’s abortion views and advocacy. The information on the Freedom of Choice Act goes beyond politics to the heart of all pro-life advocacy and would more than likely offend even abortion “moderates.” But this barely scratches the surface of Obama’s extremism. He … Continue reading
In vitro fertilization and the beginning of life
The Los Angeles Times (a one time free registration may be required) finally notices that couples who initiate in vitro fertilization are “finding themselves ensnared in a debate about when life begins.” The proposed Colorado amendment states, “The term ‘person’ or ‘persons’ shall include any human from the time of fertilization.” If it is passed, … Continue reading
Half the abortion rate
That’s a quote from NARAL (“National Abortion Rights Action League” ), in a report on the effects of the Hyde Amendment (a pdf document).

NARAL urges us to examine the record of John McCain … Continue reading
>Is conscience solely a religious matter?
>I’ve commented on the surprising accusation that protection of the consciences of physicians is anti-gay as well as anti-abortion by the pro-abortion faction. Now, the atheists are chiming in, claiming over and over that it’s just the Christians who might refuse to perform abortions and object to calling abortion standard reproductive care. “Pharyngula,” is the … Continue reading
If Roe Goes . . .

In the 1980s, when abortion was severely limited in then-West … Continue reading
Camille Paglia: abortion is murder
Just, “Wow!” Ms. Paglia and I have many points of common ground. I’ve admired her honesty and linear logic, even though I most certainly disagree with some of her views that are (as she says in this column) informed by her atheism. Read the whole essay, when you can. But, for the moment, let’s look … Continue reading
>"Trained" (medical professionals) should shut up and perform
>”Trained” medical professionals should just shut up and perform, according to the President of the National Family planning and Reproductive Health Association. As mentioned in the last few posts, the right not to be forced to act against the conscience has been under attack by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The Washington Post … Continue reading
Washington Post Addresses Our “Birth Control Fears”
As well as our fear of death and homophobia, in today’s article, “Birth Control fears addressed.” Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt has denied that a controversial draft regulation would redefine common birth control methods as abortion and protect the rights of doctors and other health-care workers who refuse to provide them. In a … Continue reading
