Ever since the battle over abortion began, pro-lifers and “pro-choicers” have accused each other of racism. For example, Brian Fung of The Atlantic claimed in August of 2012 that “an abortion ban would disproportionately affect women from non-white and low-income backgrounds,” allegedly proving the pro-life movement’s “inherent racial and socio-economic [...]
Why be pro-life if God allows babies to die in the womb all the time? If the pro-abortion movement is justified in characterizing God as an abortionist, certainly its opponents have a serious problem to consider. "God Is an Abortionist": The Atheist View Several major studies of pregnancy have revealed that [...]
From time to time we hear stories alleging that American abortion mills are selling aborted babies to major cosmetic companies so that they may be "rendered" for their collagen, the main protein component of connective tissue. This rumor is persistent and seems to have a life of its own, but [...]
Pro-abortionists sometimes claim that there is nothing forbidding abortion in the Bible. For example: Ex-priest Daniel C.

Denominations representing most of Judaism’s adherents have rejected the inspired Word of God. They are following their faith with less intensity, [...]
The greatest propaganda weapon anti-life activists use is the victim status. Pro-abortionists are especially accomplished at employing this tactic. Before Roe v. Wade, they tugged on people’s heartstrings by claiming that 5,000 to 10,000 suffering women died of complications due to illegal abortions, a number that its inventor, reformed abortionist [...]
"Freedom of Choice!" Undoubtedly an ideal slogan. Freedom is the basis upon which our nation was founded, and remains our fundamental guiding principle. Who but an ignorant bigot could possibly be against freedom, "choice," and personal independence? When we hear “Freedom of choice!,” we imagine tattered Old Glory waving over [...]
