The purpose of the Thomson's essay is to prove a principle: “Having a right to life does not guarantee having either a right to be given the use of or a right to be allowed continued use of another person’s body—even if one needs it for life itself.”
The problem with the violinist scenario is that the fantastical premise is not grounded in reality.
Read MoreThey didn’t choose to lose their children. And, yes, they are children because they are progeny. They are human—the same species as their parents—and they were alive. So, why isn’t the pro-choice crowd celebrating accountability against a corporation that allowed their choice to be taken away?
Read MoreTo be “pro-choice” is to believe murder is permissible if the mother chooses it. But a child is not an accessory that you may choose to carry, switch out, or discard when it doesn’t match your plans. The ethics of abortion are not difficult. Life is difficult. If whatever reason you conjure for an elective abortion couldn’t be used to justify killing a two-year-old, it’s not a good reason to kill that same human being if we rolled the clock back.
Read MoreSome of Trump’s apologists have pointed out that the purpose of overturning Roe v. Wade was for abortion to be kicked back to the states and to honor the Tenth Amendment. But Trump didn’t criticize a national 6-week ban. He said what DeSantis did was “terrible,” so Trump is criticizing pro-life legislation passed in a red state.
Read MoreTo be “pro-choice” isn’t saying, “Well, I would never do it, but women should have the right to decide.” Being “pro-choice” is telling the government, “We should discriminate against certain groups of people and allow physical violence against them.” You may not think of it that personally or maliciously, but that’s what it is. People used to argue slavery was a states’ rights issue rather than looking at it as a human rights violation. You are not a neutral party when you actively vote to support deliberate physical harm against someone else.
Read MoreWell, the Biden administration thought the perfect potential terrorist was Ann, a middle-aged married woman from rural America, who happens to be pro-life. You see, Ann has always been religious but became closer to God after her mother passed (something very common).
Read More“It’s nothing personal. It’s just business.” That was the tagline for former President Donald Trump’s hit show on NBC, The Apprentice. It’s also the attitude of young pro-life activists looking toward a presidential win in 2024.
Read MoreThe Born Alive Survivors Protection Act isn’t about protecting abortion; the woman has already had one. It’s about saving a newborn who survived the assassination attempt, so it’s not about what happens in the mother’s womb. But politicians like Scholten are trying to protect the intent of abortion and shield the conscience of Americans. To continue making legislation and protections around the survivor is a reminder the child was a victim of violence.
Read MoreThe women Emmanuel Acho selected had conversations about their lives, their experiences, their dreams, their feelings, and their expectations, and they never took the time to reflect on God’s commandments and what he would have wanted for them.
Read MoreI watched the entire debate with Daily Wire commentator, Michael Knowles, and leftist Tiktok influencer, Victoria Hammett, who is the Deputy Director of Gen-Z for Change. Her abortion stance was solely bodily autonomy, yet she brought up viability (which I don't know if she'd genuinely be for a ban past that). There are so many problems with that line of reasoning.
Read MoreWhether Barnette wins enough last-minute votes from undecided voters is yet to be seen, but regardless of the outcome, conservatives will be scratching their heads for a while. Trump’s backing of Oz is still puzzling, and so is the aggressive and misleading attacks against Mrs. Barnette.
Read MoreYou have no rights without the right to life. If you believe a woman has the sole responsibility and authority to decide whether a human being is entitled to that sacred right, then you are rejecting “unalienable rights,” whether you believe a “Creator” endowed them or not. Abortion is a quest to not only reject God but become God.
Read MoreA curious trend has emerged within the Pro-Choice community: using the bible to justify abortion. In most cases, these abortion defenders don’t even truly believe in the bible or the Christian God; they simply want to own the Christians. If you’re not well-versed in the scriptures, you may be swayed or at least stumped. So, let’s debunk this once and for all.
Read MoreIf a stranger aborts their child, it does and will affect me because I live in a society that makes such an act thinkable and sustainable. And if society could inflict such evil upon an innocent and defenseless baby, I shudder at what it’s willing to do to me.
Read MoreBodily autonomy is a tremendous issue in the Prochoice movement, and it’s been adopted by folks opposed to getting the Covid-19 vaccine, for whatever reason. Well, bodily autonomy is only valid for one of these positions.
Read MoreI want to remain optimistic that, even though abortion advocates in our nation are so fierce, a majority of Americans can rally around and denounce a particular justification that is unequivocally immoral.
Read MoreSince election day, I have read and heard hot takes from Democrat operatives trying to explain Vice President Harris’s loss to former (and officially future) President Donald J. Trump. So far, I’m convinced Republicans are destined to rack up more wins because Democrats do not get it.
Many Democrat operatives expect marginalized communities to experience schadenfreude when a powerful man like Trump gets what they think is coming to him. But the reality is that most people want real justice over social or performative justice.
I don’t know what her true religious convictions are, but I believe the Bible when it says you can know a tree by its fruits. She is not pro-choice. She’s pro-abortion. And there is no “separation of church and state” when the state wants to use its power to impose its wickedness onto the church and believers across the country.
“She was accused of murder after losing her pregnancy. SC woman now tells her story.” After reading this CNN headline, would you guess that Amari Marsh went through early labor—likely due to her chlamydia infection—and was charged because she didn’t remove her live child from the toilet after 911 dispatchers told her to? Probably not.
My mother taught us to play with one another, to work with one another, and to pray with and for one another. She already prepared us to endure difficult moments like these. My mother is a rare ruby, indeed, the type of woman that you read about in Proverbs 31.
It feels like she’s perpetuating an unsolvable problem with no personal cost beyond the breath required to virtue signal. That’s largely the issue with racial grifters. It’s always the system’s fault.
What has happened to our City over the past ten years? What has happened to law and order, to the neighborhood cop we all trusted to safeguard our homes and families, the cop who had the power under the law to help us in times of danger, keep us safe from those who would prey on innocent lives to fulfill some distorted inner need.
Some psychopaths are determined to hurt people, and the authorities have a responsibility to protect the most vulnerable. If that sick individual sees weakness in our defenses, they will hurt the innocent. That is the “fact of life” Vance was referring to.
In other words, Harris was hoping ABC would bail her out. It’s not their fault that she’s “fundamentally disadvantaged,” while going up against Donald Trump. It’s not ABC’s responsibility to try and close the gap with hot mics, and notes, or to sit them down so Trump doesn’t tower over her.

The media and many Democrats have bought the hype of Trump being a dictator, but their fictionalized worldview of Donald Trump didn’t materialize outside the borders of their delusional minds.
