Killing Your Child for Volleyball
Thanks to a John Podhoretz tweet (by the way, if you don’t follow him, you should. His Twitter feed is constantly engaging and insightful), I came across a horrifying, sad article by blogger and career advice columnist Penelope Trunk. It chronicles her two abortions — her first when she was in the midst of a professional volleyball career (it was relatively late-term) and the second when her post-volleyball career was “soaring.” Before the first abortion, she learned she...

IRS Morality: Defend Planned Parenthood, Deluge Adoptive Families with Audits
Earlier this week, in a feeble attempt at humor on Facebook, I posted: “If you haven’t been audited by the IRS during the Obama administration, can you even call yourself a conservative?” Given the scale of the abuses, I should probably just shorten it and say, “Only RINOs don’t get audited.” My wife and I got audited in 2011, with the IRS examining every inch of our adoption the previous year. The process was painful, but we got through it, and our refund may... Continue Reading

Kermit Gosnell and the Abortion Movement: In Defense of the Defenseless
As abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s murder trial is in the hands of the jury, abortion’s defenders are out in full force to spin and deflect the attention this trial has garnered from abortion in a broader sense. Recently we wrote an On Faith column explaining how the horror of the Gosnell trial exposed the truth about abortion and the illogic of those who believe that what Gosnell is accused of doing to those infants after they were born would be perfectly acceptable if they were still...

362 Infants Born Alive as Result of Botched Abortions Died in Last Decade
Recently, Planned Parenthood was caught advocating post birth abortion – infanticide. Their lobbyist testified before a state legislature that if a baby was born alive as the result of a botched abortion, Planned Parenthood believed the decision whether to provide that baby struggling for life on the abortion clinic table lifesaving support, “should be between the patient and the health care provider.” In response to public outrage, Planned Parenthood removed its opposition f...

Abortion Industry Seeks to Profit from Gosnell Infanticide
The abortion industry is actively seeking to profit from the horrific infanticide abortionist Kermit Gosnell committed and the public outrage his case has caused. Gosnell stands accused of murdering babies born alive after botched abortions in unspeakable ways and allowing 100 illegal late-term abortions to be committed in his clinic. Yet the abortion industry, Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and the National Abortion Federation are out to make a profit from this tragedy. In eac... Continue Reading

Dead Babies Don’t Cry
I have a news flash for the abortion industry: Dead babies don’t cry. Neither do dead babies moan, move, or breathe. It sends a chill down my spine to even have to write these words, but dead babies are just that – dead. And if you just so happen to be a late-term abortionist who is holding a dead baby in your hands, there would be no reason for you to sever that dead baby’s spinal cord. No reason at all. Because remember, the baby is dead. And yet, Jack McMahon, defens... Continue Reading

“Pro-Choice” Radicals: Gosnell Infanticide Mere “Malpractice”
Over the weekend ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow and I wrote a column for the Washington Post on how the horrors of the Gosnell post-birth abortion trial is exposing the illogic of abortion. In response, the overwhelming consensus of “pro-choice” readers (aside from the irony of claiming the Washington Post now has a pro-life bias) was that Gosnell’s trial is about “medical malpractice,” not abortion and murder. Abortionist Kermit Gosnell is charged with ca... Continue Reading

Legal Challenge Against Planned Parenthood in CA Intensifies
The ACLJ is continuing its efforts to hold Planned Parenthood (PP) affiliates in California accountable for more than $100,000,000 in illegal overbilling. PP should not be permitted to enrich itself by extracting tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds through a scheme of charging rates in excess of legal limits. In Gonzalez v. Planned Parenthood Los Angeles (PPLA) et al., ACLJ attorneys represent P. Victor Gonzalez, the former Vice President of Finance and Administration of Defendant PPL... Continue Reading

Reality Reverses Abortion’s Cultural Momentum
As Mark Steyn notes, the MSM may not be covering the horror of the Kermit Gosnell trial, but the combination of the Gosnell trial and Planned Parenthood’s recent inadvertent truth-telling about its willingness to abort a baby born alive represent a one-two punch of reality that every pro-life advocate should remember. Amidst this month’s arguments that cultural changes are “inevitable” and irresistible, the abortion industry’s constant setbacks — both in publ... Continue Reading
