By Steve Deace - An article in Time Magazine does about the best and most honest job of covering the current divide within the pro-life movement I have seen yet. The schism comes down to two questions: 1) Is all life sacred and worthy of protection? 2) What is the strategy to ultimately end the tragedy of child killing in America? The fact that on the 40th anniversary year of Roe v. Wade we still aren’t of one mind on the two most important questions of our movement is exactly why the killing...

Incrementalism and Regulation
By Steve Deace - I believe some types of incremental steps to end child killing in America are good, some are well-intentioned but won’t accomplish what they hope to, and some are fraudulent. Good incrementalism—I believe legislation that is compliant with the “laws of nature and nature’s God” in clearly asserting the right to life, but is intended to stop a new or eliminate a previously accepted procedure for shedding innocent blood is good incrementalism. For example, wanting to shut down...
What Does 90% Mean?
What does 90% mean to you? For me, it’s a stellar exam grade in graduate school. It’s an overwhelming certainty that my wife and I found the house we wanted to buy. It’s a huge success in endorsed candidate's election victories. Any way you cut it, 90% is a significantly big number that has far reaching implications for whatever it’s attached to. You can’t ignore 90%. That’s why whenever I’m doing Pillars of Personhood training seminars and I tell our audience that 90% of all children...
Thank You, Facebook
In most pro-life circles, the topic of graphic abortion photos is controversial at best. Personally, I think that graphic images of individuals who have suffered injustice or atrocity should be handled with care and tact, but should be shown. The reason I feel they should be shown is rooted in a rich history of advocacy against evil. During the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, Allied troops made citizens of nearby towns march through the death chambers to know what they had been...

TIME Magazine recently said that the pro-abortion community has been losing ever since 1973. That hasn’t ever felt truer than it does today.
I Hate My Job And I Can’t Wait To Get Fired
It is, actually, almost physically painful. Every single morning, getting up and repeating the same routine, driving the same route from Auburn to Norcross. It’s horrible. Every morning I pray that it will be my last day walking through the doorway to the Georgia Right to Life office. Hoping, praying, that maybe, just maybe, this day will be the day that I get called before the Executive Committee and informed that my services are no longer required. Each day, though, I know that’s not likely...
Single Issue Voting
Single Issue Voting Our forefathers drafted a constitution and set in motion a system of government that allows each citizen to register to vote and choose representation at the national and state levels of government freely and privately. Each of us decides which candidate deserves our vote. In making that decision, we are subjected to enormous amounts of advertising, polling information and media analysis. We often have a built-in cultural mechanism for making our choice. In that mechanism...
Termination of Rapist’s Parental Rights (Thompson)
SB 331 authored by Senator Bruce Thompson, allows a woman to prevent her rapist from legitimating her child if the child was conceived during the assault. Often times, rapists will file for parental rights of the child conceived as a result of rape and use the case to force a woman to drop her rape charges against him. This bill would free women from the grip of their assaulter and help keep children safe from predators. Georgia Right to Life supports SB 331. To read SB 331 in its entirety,...
