The abortion debate is not about difficult circumstances. It’s about sexual freedom

by Jonathon Van Maren, LifeSite: Abortion allows men and women to use each other. Adults get the sex; children pay the price; the abortion industry makes a killing. As Roe v. Wade heads toward a Supreme Court reckoning, the abortion wars are heating up. We don’t know if Roe will go, of course — some watchers think yes, others no — but abortion activists certainly think so. There are already plans to put an underground abortion network in place; to distribute abortion pills to states with...

Aborting babies with a disability up to birth is not discriminatory, high court rules

Are Women Still Human?

By Carl R. Trueman and Alexandra DeSanctis, Public Discourse: The issue of abortion cannot be reduced to the narrow question of the status of the child in the womb. The answers rest upon broader assumptions about what it means to be human.

That is a denial of what really...

Transgender ideology crashes into pro-abortion cliches during politico’s interview

by Jonathon Van Maren, LifeSite: One of the few pleasures of our post-sexual revolution age is watching progressives struggle to keep up with the runaway train that they themselves have launched down the tracks and towards the cliffs. As a prime example, Congress’s perkiest Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on CNN recently to complain to Anderson Cooper about the Texas Heartbeat Act—and promptly forgot that men can get pregnant, too.  She started by claiming that the Heartbeat...

Bring abortion bans to Britain

by James Mildred, Crisis Magazine: This week, Texas ushered in the most restrictive abortion law in the United States since before Roe v Wade, the legal challenge that paved the way for liberalisation.

The move prompted outrage from pro-abortion voices in the US and the UK, quoted in a plethora of...
