A child inside the womb is no different from those who are born

In today’s America, political controversy rages over when—or whether—legal protections should begin for children in the womb. The arguments are intense, and tend to focus on milestone events in fetal development, like the onset of the child’s brainwaves, heartbeat, or capacity to feel pain.

We owe that unborn child the same love, protection, and sacrifice whether she is “wanted” or “unwanted.”

Every teenager, let alone every college student, was familiar with “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength” and “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes four. If that is granted, all else follows” (from “1984”) and “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” and …

Science increasingly affirms pro-life assertions, making pro-abortionists very nervous

By Dave Andrusko Editor’s note. This first ran on December 21, 2022. I believe it’s worth another look. There’s been a growing number of stories (which we have vigorously critiqued) that supposedly tell us that pro-abortionists have assumed the mantle of being “on the side of science.” That blatantly one-sided meme is as preposterous as …
