Both sides of the political spectrum purport to value individual autonomy. In the majority of reasonable cases, all sides will agree such autonomy is permissible (to varying degrees), contingent upon such autonomy not imposing violence on other individuals.

Though death can arrive in countless ways, it only does so by one of four manners: natural, homicidal, suicidal, or accidental.

Justice Blackmun argued there was a lack of census on when life began. In reality, scientists knew life began at conception decades prior to the Supreme Court ruling.

Imagine this – your mother, age 47, and a healthy woman by all accounts, suddenly gets into a car accident. While getting that dreaded 1 AM phone call, you learn which hospital she is

What does science say the preborn is? This question is at the center of the biggest moral and legal issue our world has ever faced: abortion.

A mom shares her personal story of loss and grief in the hope other women will know grief is a valid emotion in these situations, and to encourage abortion-minded women to choose life.

As technology advances, concern for the ethics of protecting vulnerable lives, equality, and human rights increases as well. Among such vulnerable lives are preborn babies, especially those diagnosed with disability.

This study is not the most helpful tool for determining the true motivations for pro-lifers. However, for the sake of argument, let’s suppose it’s true: pro-lifers (including the women in the movement) are all evil, nasty, misogynistic jerks. So what?

Planned Parenthood is responsible for over 300,000 abortions every year. That is a third of the nation’s abortions.

Even if we concede a young, living human being is directly and intentionally killed for this type of research, do the (potential) benefits of such research outweigh this fact?

We had a Supreme Court that made a life and death decision for millions of preborn Americans based on something they admitted they did not even know.

The disturbing reality of abortion is often covered up with words like “healthcare” or “women’s rights.” When we are willing to look at the facts, we see an organization which does not look out for the best interests of women.

The “Right to Refuse” argument is by far one of the strongest arguments for abortion rights. If one wanted to ground abortion as a natural right of women this is a good place to start. I happen to think it is one of the best arguments put forward in favor of abortion.

Opponents claim that pro-lifers are merely “pro-birth," not truly pro-life. However, is this a fair claim? Let’s break down this argument.

Bodily autonomy: This is probably the best argument for the basis of abortion rights, and poses a serious challenge for the pro-life advocate.
