Plan B (also known as the morning-after pill) was approved by the FDA at the end of the Clinton administration in 1999. Since 2009, it has been available behind the pharmacy counter without prescription for women 17 years of age and older.

Every Child Deserves a Chance at Greatness
I’m loving this piece at the Washington Times from last month on Abortion, Adoption, and Steve Jobs. Author John Paul Cassil uses Jobs’ own words from a 2005 Stanford University commencement address describing his humble beginnings: “It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for … Read More
No Abortions in Columbia Again!
We’re only one day into the fall 40 Days for Life campaign and there’s already good news. Here in Missouri, the Planned Parenthood in Columbia has lost yet another abortionist. You may recall that I was just there a few weeks ago praying for 18 mothers who were going in for an abortion on my birthday. This is not the … Read More
Video: Praying at Planned Parenthood
Some footage I shot while I was at Planned Parenthood last week. There’s nothing really fantastic about this video, just us praying. Thankfully, for the most part, things are pretty peaceful during our prayer vigils in Columbia.

No Such Thing as “Potential” or “Unwanted” Human Life
How often do we hear abortion/embryonic stem cell defenders refer to the embryo or the child in the womb as a “potential” human life? I’m stealing this quote from Rebecca Taylor: No human embryologist has ever, nor would ever, use the word potential describing human life or even “life.” In fact, “potential” human life does not exist. All matter in … Read More
AZ Planned Parenthoods to Stop Providing “Abortion Care”
Aww. NARAL’s all upset because Planned Parenthood has to stop killing babies at some of it’s clinics in Arizona. From their blog: In 2009, anti-choice Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer replaced pro-choice Gov. Janet Napolitano. Since then, it’s been a whole lot of ugly in the Grand Canyon State. Gov. Napolitano had been a firewall against Arizona’s extreme, anti-choice legislature, vetoing … Read More
