Aborting the Wanted Child
by Paul Sullins This article was first posted January 22, 2020, at The Public Discourse. The unstated mythology of therapeutic “abortion care” is that pregnancies come in only two types: wanted pregnancies, all of which children are delivered, and unwanted pregnancies, all of which children are aborted. But that’s not true. At least one in […]

My life went off the rails because of the sexual revolution.
Did the “sexual revolution” adversely affect me? You bet it did. My parents emigrated from Ireland to NYC in 1958. They were “old school” when it came to matters regarding sex, which was basically never discussed, and was otherwise “dirty”. I came of age as the sexual revolution was ramping up. Even though I went […]

Poster Child of God’s Mercy
The expression, “I’ve been to hell and back,” is a perfect description of my life, and the hell was mostly self-inflicted through my abuse of alcohol. Even though I came from a loving, supportive, Christian family, I always felt like an outsider and “less than.” That all changed when I discovered alcohol. As a well-known […]
The Truth about Late Term Abortion
First person testimony from a survivor of the late term abortion experience. Please note: this author did NOT actually have an abortion. Her baby had already died, and needed to be removed from her uterus. In the Mother of All Insensitivities (in my opinion) her doctor sent her to an abortion clinic where they specialize […]
How a Christian Child’s Love Won Jane Roe’s Heart
By Ryan MacPherson, a Ruth Institute Circle of Experts member This article was first published at hausvater.org on January 22, 2009 (36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade). Book Review: Won by Love, Norma McCorvey (with Gary Thomas), (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1998) In her own small world she was Norma McCorvey, a battered, then abandoned, wife and drug addict, pregnant but not desiring a child. The wider world would know her as “Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide. The story told there was tragic: a woman gang raped, forced into pregnancy, and denied the opportunity to terminate that pregnancy since abortion was outlawed in Texas. This story, however, was a lie—fabricated by attorney Sarah Weddington, who herself had obtained an illegal abortion and now was on a mission to make abortion available legally. When McCorvey became “Roe,” she provided the tool Weddington needed to push the issue in the courts. But after McCorvey signed “Roe’s” affidavit, affirming the fabricated story as her own, Weddington reneged on her promise to help McCorvey deal with her crisis pregnancy. Weddington did not even so much as telephone McCorvey until four months after the child was born. The “Roe” of Roe v. Wade did not abort her baby, a child saved, ironically, by an attorney’s need for a pregnant plaintiff in order to sue for abortion access. McCorvey had never even been inside an abortion clinic, though later she would work for one. She was both the victim of deceit and the perpetrator of deception. Marijuana helped her to cope. So did alcohol. And coarse humor, too: “I tell women we aren’t killing little babies on Wednesday; they have to come in Thursday through Saturday to do it.” (150) But her verbal defense mechanisms, like her lesbian relationship with an abortion clinic coworker, only took her deeper into the pit of despair and anger, a bitter mixture of relentless grief and suppressed guilt. Even “Jane Roe” knew that abortion killed babies. While working at A Choice

Abortion Today: Preterm Birth Tomorrow?
A new metastudy shows increased risks of preterm birth for mothers who have previously had an abortion. A meta-analysis of 36 international studies involving more than one million women has concluded that abortions are associated with “significantly higher risk” of subsequent premature births, and underweight babies. Prematurity is, in turn, associated with far greater […]
Blackmail Threat Leads to life-giving Testimony
Leave it to pro-choice political operatives to make a blackmail threat against a pro-life politician and his family. And leave it to the King of Kings to bring light out of darkness and to write straight with crooked lines. It seems that “an unnamed source” told Michigan State Rep. Lee Chatfield, a pro-life Republican, that they […]

I never thought to question the morality of abortion.
My mother left when I was six. My sister and I went to a beautiful old house we called “the home” – a group home for girls whose families were under stress. We were fed and dressed well, had lots of play time but, even with my sister there, I was scared. I saw Matron […]
A Prodigal Son’s Tale
The uproar over the Obergefell decision by the Supreme Court, as well as over the Planned Parenthood videos of aborted infants, has brought to light in my heart the brutal, circular journey I myself have made from devout Catholic school boy of the 50s to passive, liberal “hippie” of the 60s and 70s, and back […]
