The heartbeat bill
Posted by: kathrynjudson on: February 7, 2011
Of course, it makes most sense to protect each human being from the moment of conception. Everything else is an artificial line, as well as an immoral one. But to afford legal protection as soon as a beating heart is detected would at least save lives, and would be a step in the right direction. [...]

This will be one of those ‘added to as time allows’ posts. First off, St. Blogustine: 2011 March for Life in Washington DC. (hat tip: comment in yesterday’s post.) Headmistress at The Common Room is writing some very good, cut-through-the-clutter posts prompted by the horrors uncovered at Gosnell’s Philadelphia abortion facility, but also addressing abortion [...]
“Abortion, Language and Looking Away” (updated)
Posted by: kathrynjudson on: January 21, 2011
The Kermit Gosnell case is exposing much about those who choose to look away and do nothing, even when the inherent evil of abortion is compounded by horrific disregard for the health and lives of women. Elizabeth Scalia has some good observations on this at The Anchoress blog. Added: Michelle Malkin: The Philadelphia Horror
“The Ugliness of Seventies-Style Feminism”
Posted by: kathrynjudson on: December 4, 2010
Over at Mere Comments, Hunter Baker takes aim at something Erica Jong wrote for publication at the Wall Street Journal. One of the reasons I’m linking, trivial though it may be, is that I like him referring to something she says about the pro-life movement as a “tired old libel.” Which it is. But we [...]
Abortion in the news in Spain
Posted by: kathrynjudson on: October 14, 2010
It is not a good thing when the very people who are supposed to be in charge of protecting human rights instead spend time trying to argue that some people aren’t really human beings.

The pregnant fireman vocabulary lesson
Posted by: kathrynjudson on: January 2, 2010
The assignment was to write a sentence about a public servant. The little boy wrote: “The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.” The teacher took the boy aside to correct him. “Don’t you know what pregnant means?” she said. “Sure,” the boy said. “It means carrying a child.” (Well, yes it does, indeed! But, of [...]

From the Alliance Defense Fund, Oct. 12, 2009: SCRANTON, Pa. — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed a lawsuit in federal court last week against the West Shore School District for prohibiting a student from wearing a T-shirt bearing the message, “Abortion is not Healthcare.” Officials at Crossroads Middle School in Lewisberry ordered the student to [...]
Define brave
Posted by: kathrynjudson on: June 5, 2009
More and more I’ve been noticing a tendency in some circles, and in popular culture in general, to think of bravery as the commission of ‘something I’m not sure I could bring myself to do if put to the test’. Period. Now, of course, few of us would consider a person brave if that person did [...]
