Pro-lifers hailed the ruling as a victory for the right to life in the United States.

How can several hundred thousand people descend upon the capital of the most powerful nation on earth, and somehow go completely unnoticed? Matthew Archbold over at the Creative Minority Report thinks he has the answer – stealth technology. And he think that the U.S. government might just be interested in finding out how pro-lifers do it. After all, if a crowd of as many as 400,000 people can somehow one escape notice on the Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol in the middle of January, couldn’t a tank or an airplane do the same? Interestingly, however, Archbold points out […]
Every now and then I have to go out to the airport in Rome, usually either picking up or dropping off, and the trip out to Fiumicino is pretty tedious. For me requires a trip into the city, and then back out of it again, in more or less the same direction and almost the same distance (thanks Trenitalia!). So it’s a good idea either to bring someone lively along to talk to, or something to read because the sights in the airport end of the City, particularly those you can see from rail yards, are not exactly inspiring. Today […]

"The take home message is simple," the authors conclude. "Exclusive and supportive relationships confer substantial mental and physical health benefits that grow over time."
There is a lot in MTV’s abortion episode “No Easy Decision” that gives us insight into why abortions occur and what we can do to stop them. The young couple, James and Markai, who have already done the right thing with their first pregnancy, and are raising their child, become pregnant again. The story of their struggle with the temptation to abort – and their eventual abortion – is one of strong ambivalence. However, if we listen closely, we notice that the ambivalence did not start with the pregnancy. They became pregnant because Markai missed her birth control appointment and […]
Does “Skins” cross the legal line of criminal child pornography? Just imagine the moral culpability of a network whose executives even have to ask the question.
Seventy-five years ago the Nazis targeted the disabled and the weak for extermination. Most of us now recognize as evil the idea that some people are less worthy of life than others. But, tragically, eugenics never seems to go away completely.

In 2009, abortion advocates succeeded in getting regulations passed that would require pregnancy centers to post notices in English and Spanish stating that they do not “provide or make referrals for abortion or birth-control services.” The law singled out the centers and by requiring this government notice be posted sent a message to the vulnerable women who visited that the centers sought to deceive. However, today the courts stepped in and ruled that to be unconstitutional. In a 29 page opinion, US District Judge Marvin Garbis ruled that the law violated the First Amendment of the Constitution. In the opinion […]

It is a must-watch. “I know what I’m about to say is controversial,” Reagan begins. “But I have to say it.” And say it he does: This nation cannot continue turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the taking of some 4,000 unborn children’s lives every day. One every 21 seconds. We cannot pretend that America is preserving her first and highest ideals, the belief that each life is sacred, when we’ve permitted the deaths of fifteen million helpless innocents. […]
As a full-time pro-life advocate, few things about the abortion industry surprise me anymore. It is routine for the abortion industry to trample on women in their quest to abort the next generation and profit in the process. However, Kermit Gosnell’s ‘house of horrors’ clinic in Philadelphia has left even the most hardened observers aghast. After he was charged this week with the murder of seven newborn infants and third degree murder of a female patient, news broke about how his clinic contained flea-ridden cats, dismembered remains of late-term unborn children, and medical equipment suitable only for the closest […]

That’s what Pravda says: Religious women in strict clothes would be laughed at and used as a subject for countless jokes during the beginning of the 1990s. Their secular friends and colleagues did not even want to believe that young women wearing long skirts and handkerchiefs could arrange their private lives successfully. However, as experience shows, girls in handkerchiefs enjoy special demand. The TV series and two motion pictures Sex and the City has earned global popularity for one simple reason. The lives of its main characters are very similar to the fates of millions of lonely woman all over […]

Smith UNITED STATES, August 1, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Despite increasingly high divorce rates, nearly half of the US public now clings to the belief that pre-marital cohabitation will make divorce less likely according to a recent national poll. A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of 1,007 adults released for the weekend shows 49 percent believe living together reduces the chances of divorce. 13 percent said cohabitation makes no difference at all on marriage’s success.

New Pope’s Name, Benedict XVI, Signals Modernists in the Church and Radical Secularists in Europe by LifeSiteNews.com ROME, April 20, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In the early days of any papacy, much attention is given to signals that give hints to the direction and priorities of the newly elected Pope.

Since the early centuries of the Church the newly elected Pope has followed the custom of adopting a name, usually one of some predecessor. The name Benedict has ancient roots in the Church and derives […]

I am often surprised how the media is willing to report a double murder as a possible “mercy killing” even before the facts of the case have been properly established. The prime example is the incredibly sad and disturbing case of Sylvain Guidi (47), who has been charged with first-degree murder in the homicide deaths of his father, Claude Guidi (75) and his mother Denise Cloutier-Guidi (71). Claude Guidi was a retired Longueuil Quebec police officer. On Saturday, January 15, 2011, Sylvain Guidi allegedly shot his father and mother in the family home in St-Jean-de-Matha Quebec. Sylvain allegedly used a […]

I admire U.S. Rep. Mike Pence (R-Indiana). He’s a strong, unabashed conservative with a strong pro-life record in Congress. But apparently, a group called “America’s President Committee” really loves Pence and is getting a petition together to convince him to throw his hat for the presidency. CNN’s Political Ticker blog has the scoop here. Here is where I think enthusiasm for Pence has outpaced political reality, and lacks some long-term “strategery.” Drafting Pence for U.S. president in 2012 may not really be a good idea for pro-life conservatives in the long run. For one, Pence lacks the national name recognition […]

Note: Steve Macias the Students for Life of America West Coast Field Agent Growing up in Sacramento, California I am well accustomed to the wild west coast and its liberal slant. Especially when it came to matters on the sanctity of human life. I can remember being introduced to sexuality and matters of birth control in sixth grade, and just months later Planned Parenthood entered our classroom, violating the appropriate nature of a banana with a colorful condom. At the time, this didn’t seem strange but ordinary. I remember even a sense of anticipation from my classmates who were excessively […]

The late Pope is perhaps most known for his ardent promotion of the "culture of life," a term he popularized through his 1995 encyclical Evangelium Vitae.
I’m writing from Omaha after having flown in last night to speak at the Celebration of Life Dinner this evening. At the airport I was met by Steve and Carolyn LaGreca, and we were joined by John and Anne Marie Bowen. The two ladies head up Nebraskans United for Life and are close friends. I was truly struck by their friendship – full of joy, love and support. It reminded me of a thought which has often reoccurred to me as I’ve come across pro-lifers in various places around the globe … among the pro-life community are to be found […]
Have you ever considered the impact that urbanization and industrialism have had on our culture’s attitudes on life and family? In his book The Church and the Land, Dominican Fr. Vincent McNabb (1868-1943) argues that the Industrial Revolution, with scores of country dwellers fleeing the land and crowding into cities, created the conditions that led to a contraceptive culture. Some quotes from the book: “Scarcely had industrialism run two hundred years than the great towns were reduced to such a state of economic bankruptcy – and here was the call to an apostle – that race suicide could be made […]

He is exploring parenting options with his gay partner. His efforts to become a father have not been well publicized so far. Smitherman, who calls himself “Ontario’s first openly homosexual MPP,” was elected to […]

Only a Return to Christian Values Will Save Secularist Post-Soviet Estonia: Local Pro-Life Leader by LifeSiteNews.com By Hilary White TALLINN, Estonia, August 19, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Like many of the Soviet satellite states that found independence after the collapse of Soviet communism, Estonia is suffering from a deeply “confused” social and moral state, with its shift from a “communist form of open materialism to the capitalist form of subtle materialism.” Estonia is a micro-experiment in Europe’s extreme secularization, and is reaping the demographic consequences, a young Estonian pro-life advocate and teacher told LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) in an extensive interview. Estonia’s economic […]
An article written by Olivia D’Orazio and published in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine on December 29, 2010; explains that Jocelyn Downie will once again be spinning her false arguments concerning the legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada. Downie, a long-time advocate for the legalization of euthanasia, who published the book: Dying Justice: A Case for Decriminalizing Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide in Canada and who has been working with a one-sided committee on behalf of the Royal Society of Canada to produce a document that will promote the legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide, will be speaking on January […]
Recently MTV had an abortion episode called “No Easy Decision.” The couple, James and Markai, agonized over what to do about their second pregnancy and ended up having an abortion. They kept asking themselves what would happen if they had a second child. But is that not precisely how we make these decisions less easy? People in these situations often talk as if the child who already exists in the womb did not in fact exist. The question is not what will happen if they have this child. The real question they are wrestling with but not admitting is whether […]

Environmentalist Campaign’s Horror ‘Comedy’ Promo: Go Green or Get Blown Up by LifeSiteNews.com By Kathleen Gilbert LONDON, October 4, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A UK-based campaign against global warming has apologized after releasing an extremely graphic promotional short film depicting individuals being blown up for failing to adhere to the campaign. The film promotes “10:10,” a campaign involving a pledge to reduce an individual’s carbon emissions by 10% on October 10. Entitled “No Pressure,” the short depicts several short segments, evidently intended to be humorous, in which people, including children in a schoolroom, are detonated in a gory mess after they […]
Canadian MP Tables Bill to Protect “Transgendered” People in Canadian Human Rights Act by LifeSiteNews.com By Patrick B. Craine May 20, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – On May 15th, NDP MP Bill Siksay of Burnaby-Douglas, BC tabled a private members’ bill that would add “gender identity” and “gender expression” as categories protected against discrimination in the Canadian Human Rights Act. The bill also proposes to add these two terms to the Criminal Code to be taken into consideration at sentencing for “hate crimes.” This is the third time Siksay has tabled the bill, after it failed to make it to the House […]
Most Ob/Gyns in Canada Don’t Do Abortions, Survey Finds by LifeSiteNews.com By Patrick B. Craine HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, August 19, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A survey of Canada’s obstetricians and gynaecologists has found that more than half do not perform abortions, and more than half of these doctors do not do them due to their personal beliefs, reports the Medical Post. Though inconclusive, the survey’s results are “encouraging,” said one pro-life leader. Dr. Caroline Laroche of Saint-Luc Hospital in Montreal conducted the survey by e-mail and presented her findings at the 65th annual meeting of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists […]
"I didn't think I was a person who would choose abortion, but in the end I did," said Johnson, who made a dramatic conversion to the pro-life cause in 2009.
The ad featured a female firefighter expressing thanks for her mother's choice in favor of life. “If an ad this low-key is unacceptable, then any pro-life ad connected to the issue of abortion must be considered unacceptable," said NB Right to Life.
Claire Culwell says that when she went to visit her birth mother for the first time, she offered her a card that said "thank you for choosing life for me."
The Washington March for Life has been growing ever year. It is a very impressive series of events that inspires and at times awes participants. Over 350,000 were there last year. Many Canadians take part as well, inspiring them to greater vision for Canadian pro-life activism. See this year’s listing of events. LifeSiteNews will be there again in force and LSN reporter Meaghen Hale will be in San Francisco covering the West Coast Walk for Life. Today’s excerpt from former Planned Parenthood director Abbey Johnson’s book is something everyone should read – a very honest accounting of undeniable reality, which […]
Recently an Italian newspaper, Avvenire, interviewed bioethicist Wesley Smith about the deaths of Terri Schiavo and Eluana Englaro,. Schiavo and Englaro had similar cognitive disabilities and both of them were directly and intentionally dehydrated to death. Last fall, Canada had a similar case when Pastor Joshua Mayandi, who had a cognitive disability, but who was not otherwise dying, was dehydrated to death. The comments by Wesley Smith were particularly insightful and worth reading. The english translation is as follows: What is the importance of cases like Eluana and Terri Schiavo, what is the public’s reaction to them? The country (USA) […]
This month, in remembrance of the tragic Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton decisions, that legalized abortion in America throughout all nine months of pregnancy, numerous pro-life events take place in Washington and throughout the nation. I hope you will be participating in some of them. Even some people who support abortion are against Roe v Wade, because it took away from the people in the states the right to vote on abortion policy in their own state. Even the most pro-life states, with legislatures and governors eager to protect the unborn children of that state, are deprived of […]
Oprah Winfrey Endorses Homosexuality Again With Upcoming Show by LifeSiteNews.com CHICAGO, Illinois, October 17, 2005, (LifeSiteNews.com) – According to the web site of well known talk show host Oprah Winfrey, her endorsement of the homosexual lifestyle will continue when she interviews a man who took part in a reality television program entitled “30 days: Straight Man in a Gay World.” “30 Days” is a reality show produced by Morgan Spurlock who gained notoriety for his documentary “Super Size Me” in which he ate only McDonald’s food for 30 days. During this particular segment a farmer, Ryan Hickmott, from Michigan spends […]
The argument now is no longer about whether there is such a thing as a right to acquire a child, but whether the state should pay for sex selection in vitro fertilization “treatments” after the couple has already aborted unwanted twin boys.
"I didn’t want to look, but I didn’t want to stop looking either. I couldn’t not watch. I was horrified," writes former Planned Parenthood Director Abby Johnson.

Grave of Nazi Euthanasia Victims Discovered in Germany by LifeSiteNews.com By Hilary White MENDEN-BARGE, Germany, October 5, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The mass grave of 22 children and 29 adults thought to have been victims of the Nazi government’s Euthanasia program, has been discovered in the cemetery of a Catholic church in the village of Menden-Barge. BBC news reports that state prosecutor Ulrich Maass said the authorities are looking for evidence and witnesses but it would be difficult to prosecute anyone 61 years after the war. The grave site is near a hospital once run by Hitler’s personal physician, Dr. Karl […]
New Republican House Leader Boehner Vows to Uphold Right to Life by LifeSiteNews.com By Terry Vanderheyden WASHINGTON, February 3, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – New Republican House Leader, John Boehner, declared his intention to uphold the right to life of the unborn before his election. Boehner, who has been re-elected eight times in his Western Ohio district, defeated Missouri Congressman Roy Blunt and John Shadegg of Arizona Thursday in a secret-ballot election by Republican members of Congress. Blunt, who replaced Tom Delay temporarily as house leader since September, lost on second ballot, by a vote of 122 to 109. Blunt retains his […]

There are thousands of ways to diet and exercise, and every year it seems as though another fitness fad dominates the market and becomes the latest obsession.

One of these days I would like to sit in on one of those gatherings where this conversation blossoms among progressives disillusioned with the lack of progress on an unpopular initiative, such as animal rights or global warming: “Blimey, Jim, I don’t know what to do. The public just doesn’t seem to care enough about [insert progressive agenda here]. The polls keep slipping … I’ve just been racking my brain and I can’t figure out how to get ‘em revved up again.” “Well Bart, sometimes it takes a little extra push to help people see the TRUTH of the matter.

‘The Nativity Story’ Movie Problematic for Catholics, “Unsuitable” for Young Children by LifeSiteNews.com By John-Henry Westen NEW YORK, December 4, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A review of New Line Cinema’s The Nativity story by Fr. Angelo Mary Geiger of the Franciscans of the Immaculate in the United States, points out that the film, which opened December 1, misinterprets scripture from a Catholic perspective. While Fr. Geigeradmits that he found the film is “in general, to be a pious and reverential presentation of the Christmas mystery.” He adds however, that “not only does the movie get the Virgin Birth wrong, it thoroughly […]
Japan's well-below-replacement-level birth rate, combined with an ever-increasing number of deaths has resulted in the country's population falling by 123,000 in 2010.
This month many of you will march for life, in Washington D.C. and in your own towns and cities. The day will come when Roe v Wade will be overturned. The Court could say that the people can decide whether abortion should be legal in their own state. But the Court could also rule that the unborn child must be protected as a person under the 14th Amendment, just like the born must be protected. The Roe v Wade decision itself admits that if the unborn child can be shown to be a person, abortion cannot be legal at all. […]
Today I came across a video by the homosexualist Human Rights Campaign “exposing” the pro-family organization the National Organization for Marriage (NOM). It has to be one of the most embarrassing and ultimately hilarious pieces of propaganda ever produced. With the breed of creepy music, and foreboding, overstated voice-overs usually reserved for the grittiest crime shows about grisly homicides and serial killers, the Human Rights Campaign explains that while NOM would have you think that its mission is to “protect marriage” (“Ah, such a noble cause isn’t it?” says the creepy voiceover), there’s a much darker (duh-duh-duh!) purpose behind NOM.

The Euthanasia lobby appears to be frustrated by the way they are attacking people who oppose euthanasia by once again taking out the Catholic card. The Catholic card is a long standing strategy for the euthanasia lobby. They recognize that if they can’t convince people to support euthanasia then the best thing to do is to manipulate the public by stating that only Catholics oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide. This strategy worked well during the Washington State I-1000 initiative because most people do not want the Catholic Church telling them what to think or do. Yesterday, in The Age newspaper […]
One of the least talked-about of the European Union’s agreements could also be the biggest threat to civil rights, a leading British civil rights watchdog group has said.

A bunch of Catholic high school girls in Windsor Ontario have garnered national media attention for wearing duct-tape shirts to a hockey game to cheer on their team. What’s of interest is that the school banned the duct tape outfits out of concern for “immodesty.” However, rather than institute a modesty policy to deal with immodesty the school made a rather ridiculous ban simply on duct-tape shirts. The girls who spent their one-day suspension giving numerous media interviews pointed out that they wore shirts under their duct-tape shirts and even cardigans over top to address the modesty concerns. So they […]
Yesterday I wrote an article describing how our family is continuing to celebrate Christmas throughout this Christmas season – and not just on December 25, which is only the beginning of Christmastide. Many people in our secular world forget that traditionally the Christmas season only begins on December 25, and carries on through the feast of the epiphany on January 6, and even, according to some traditions, until February 2, known as Candlemas, or the feast of the presentation of Jesus in the temple. Apparently the pope has been thinking about some of the same things. In his Wednesday audience […]
British people have always prided themselves on their political morals. For centuries they have seen themselves holding the political moral high ground over the Continentals. We have never “feared the knock at the door” as the saying goes. The great British adherence to civil liberties has always been the cornerstone of our self-concept as the “cradle of democracy”. The yoke of tyranny never sat easily on British shoulders. During the War years, that cross-Channel contrast was highlighted. The British looked over the water and saw German citizens rounded up and carted off to who knows where, never to return. They […]

The Sacramento Bee newspaper published a short article on December 31, 2010 written by Anita Creamer on a Cornell University study that proves that only a fraction of elder abuse cases are ever reported. The article stated: New research from Cornell University’s medical college suggests that the incidence of elder abuse and exploitation is far greater than experts had expected. The study, which is not available online, compared the number of cases reported to law enforcement, agencies that serve the aging and other authorities with those mentioned in 4,000 random phone surveys of people 60 and older. For every elder […]

Despite the program's clear "pro-choice" bent, it presented a raw display of the young woman's agony as she felt increasingly trapped into accepting the abortion.
The March for Life in Washington, as well as the Walk for Life in San Francisco, are always great events each year. People show up to express their support of the unborn and to encourage one another. They also bear witness to the wider society, that in order to have justice at all, we must have justice for everyone. Often the media does not give adequate coverage to these events. We need to continue to challenge them and build relationships with them. But at the same time, we must be the media. We must be the ones to carry the […]
Although the embryo is not just a part of the woman’s body, but a separate and distinct human individual, the two are bound together in a very intimate relationship which can best be understood as a kind of natural solidarity.
Bush, Clinton, Obama, Giuliani, etc. React to Partial Birth Abortion Ban Ruling by LifeSiteNews.com By John-Henry Westen WASHINGTON, D.C., April 19, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The following are the reactions of the United States President and Presidential contenders to yesterday’s 5-4 ruling by the United States Supreme Court to uphold the 2003 federal ban on partial-birth abortion. President George W. Bush I am pleased that the Supreme Court upheld a law that prohibits the abhorrent procedure of partial-birth abortion.
