Abortion

Being born is a right

Sheila Liaugminas | 28 August 2011

So in the daily sweep of news stories, sometimes certain headlines or blog post titles grab attention more than others. Sometimes it’s only a matter of better headline writing, rather than story content.

A lesson from Caylee Anthony’s demise

Sheila Liaugminas | 09 July 2011

This facet of the murder trial occurred to many pro-life people, in some deeply meaningful way.

Untethered to logic and natural law

Sheila Liaugminas | 01 October 2010

"To say that safeguards for individual liberty do not have any intrinsic worth is to say that individual liberty does not have any intrinsic worth. To say that individual liberty does not have any intrinsic worth is to say that the individual human person does not have any intrinsic worth. This is to deny that we are endowed with rights by our Creator. To deny that is in effect to deny that there is a Creator. This is atheism and nihilism no less than moral relativism." Who said this?

Mother’s Day gems

Sheila Liaugminas | 07 May 2010

With Mother’s Day approaching, I’ve been hearing a lot of commercials on TV and radio saying things like “Nothing says ‘I love you’ like diamonds,” or “Show her that you love her with a gift from (fill in the blank) Jewelers.” Or even “Tell her that you love her with a beautiful bouquet of (our) Flowers (or chocolates…or both).” How about this: Tell your Mother that you love her...

Obama’s inclusive address

Sheila Liaugminas | 06 April 2010

President Obama issued an Easter address that aimed at the widest reach of the message of salvation at the heart of the Resurrection. Sort of…

The Stupak-Obama deal

Sheila Liaugminas | 25 March 2010

At the end of the day, it seemed vote-a-rama was the big political story. But then this came out… "Both sides in the abortion debate came to a rare agreement on Wednesday: The executive order on abortion signed by President Obama, they said, was basically meaningless."

Headed for socialised health care?

Sheila Liaugminas | 23 March 2010

Even avoiding the usual sources of polemics in the political debate over the Democrats’ health care legislation, one continually encounters dramatic predictions of its consequences. Like this U.S. News & World Report piece proclaiming the U.S. is headed toward socialised medicine.

The day after

Sheila Liaugminas | 22 March 2010

Sunday night, Congress ended a dramatically long and intense weekend of backroom wrangling and avoiding the thousands of citizens who descended on Washington to protest the health bill and the majority of Americans who opposed it. So the deal got done, and some news analysts began saying immediately afterward that life in America has just begun to change.

Surprise, surprise

Sheila Liaugminas | 22 March 2010

Bart Stupak caved, after all. His press conference was brief and sounded like it was hastily put together.

It’s all about abortion

Sheila Liaugminas | 21 March 2010

Abortion is the new civil rights movement, and people who believe in the sanctity of all human life and understand the centrality of human dignity to the making of all social policy are walking the same walk Dr. Martin Luther King, Fr. Richard John Neuhaus and armies of human rights activists did to protect the class of people who had been denied rights for so long in this country by virtue of race.

UN conference on women: Shedding light

Sheila Liaugminas | 12 March 2010

Many thousands of women, organizations and NGOs descended on New York for the recent global checkup with the annual  ’Commission on the Status of Women’, with the Beijing conference as sort of a benchmark. It was heavy on the agenda of spreading access to abortion under the mantle of ‘reproductive rights’, but there was a large pro-life contingent there to stake claims that authentic dignity for women comes from true universal human rights….for all human beings.

Abortion genocide: Don’t do it

Sheila Liaugminas | 11 March 2010

Suddenly, it seems, abortion is getting some serious, major and long overdue attention. And it’s coming along different fronts, namely...health care holdup, gendercide, black genocide....

Healthcare reform turns on abortion

Sheila Liaugminas | 05 March 2010

We do have some principled leadership in Congress, after all. Especially the Democrat who refuses to buckle under massive pressure from the White House, Senate and House powerbrokers and most of the big media opinionmakers: Bart Stupak. He’s sending them all into a tailspin.

Mis-Speaker

Sheila Liaugminas | 02 March 2010

If you didn’t watch the televised health care summit live last Thursday, chances are you saw precious little coverage in the news media afterward. Especially of odd outbursts like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid angrily denying the Democrats had even considered a ‘reconciliation’ move (when everyone knew they were planning that very thing). And House Speaker Nancy Pelosi testily denying the legislation allows federal funding for abortion…..(when it in fact, does).

Tebow ad consequences

Sheila Liaugminas | 12 February 2010

Before the Super Bowl even happened last weekend, we all know the public debate over it whipped up into a heated controversy and abortion activists joined forces to contest it and try to have CBS yank the Tim and Pam Tebow ad from the commercial lineup. So just the leak that it would air generated that media frenzy and very public debate. That’s the beauty of this whole episode...

Religious restrictions in the name of freedom?

Sheila Liaugminas | 11 February 2010

This happened during the Enlightenment. Nations and states and societies with short memories, or the gullibility to succumb to revisionist history, are letting it happen again. Even where people are not losing their faith, they’re losing their rights to freely express their religiously informed voices. 

Defense of life, a controversial issue

Sheila Liaugminas | 09 February 2010

Imagine how we got to this point. In one generation, we’ve gone from abortion being unthinkable to the majority of civilized society, to the defense of human life being a controversial issue. I don’t know about you, but when I just let an idea sink in, the clarity and simplicity of its truth stands out.

The Tebow ad. Nice

Sheila Liaugminas | 08 February 2010

Heightened emotions. Fear. Falsehood. Condemnation without information. It's no surprise that it was all in the mix for the activist abortion-on-demand organizations agitating publicly for the past two weeks to keep the Tim Tebow ad off the air during the Super Bowl. Because that's how the pro-abortion movement operates.

Exposing media fraud (easy to do)

Sheila Liaugminas | 05 February 2010

The growing movement of pro-life advocates who flow into Washington each January on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade for events culminating in the March for Life have stopped expecting the media to actually notice their swelling numbers and hear their voices. They’re taking coverage of the event directly to the people.

Bankrupt papers can still line bird cages
