LifeSiteNews.com |  On May 29, the ACLU filed suit (on behalf of two civil rights groups) to stop an Arizona pro-life law. This law, passed in 2011, is designed to prohibit doctors and abortion providers from performing abortions that they know are based on the gender or race of the child. One could reasonably assume that all Americans – and civil rights groups in particular – would oppose targeting any human being for death based simply on her gender or race. Sadly, in the face of abortion, we can no longer make reasonable assumptions.

Lifesite News | The New York Times ran a powerful op/ed this week, written by a Chinese novelist, detailing the brutality of the the country’s one-child policy.

Lewrockwell.com | Have you ever noticed how, whenever a big storm is predicted, people start rushing to stores to clean them out of ever food item and supply they have on the shelves? In one sense, it’s probably good that they are trying to anticipate the emergency, despite being last-minute about it.

Truth Alliance | How does one truly capture the magnitude and horror associated with the practice of abortion? Do we focus on the numbers in America at 60 million? How about looking at the images of murdered babies? Maybe we look at the racist, eugenicist orgins behind the corporations associated with the abortion industry? These all could be good points of approach in any attempt to wake people from every political persuasion to stop and look at the realities and perversities of abortion. Unfortunately all of these methods have been attempted and plainly articulated ad nauseam for decades, and the numbers of dead babies keep spiking annually.
