Rage To Redemption: One Man’s Perspective On Abortion

“The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships.” ~ Mother Teresa Among those who favor abortion - the deliberate killing of a preborn child – women’s rights and wellbeing typically begin and end the arguments in favor of abortion on demand. Pro-life advocates almost always ask, “What about the rights and wellbeing of the preborn children?” But there is a...

Proliferate The Pro Life Rate

“They will know we are Christians by our love.” This is one of my favorite songs to sing in Church. They will know we are Christians by our love. They will NOT know we are Christians by our apologetics. They will NOT know we are Christians by our logical proofs, as to exactly why abortion is wrong! Now these proofs are good, and these apologetics are very useful tools. They are important to have, so that we can defend what we believe in. But when there is a young, frightened mother at a stage...

DNR, You Have ZERO Rights To Decide

The Journal of Medical Ethics published on March 17, 2016 a survey compiled from 490 out of 3000 practicing neonatologists. The survey showed 76% of the neonatologists thought it was ethically permissible to issue a ‘Do Not Attempt Resuscitation’, (DNAR), without asking or notifying the parents for an infant when they “felt it impossible” for the child to survive.

On The Books: New Pro-Life Laws Go Into Effect July 1

The Georgia Right To Life (GRTL) legislative team worked tirelessly during the 2016 Legislative Session to see that pro-personhood bills were passed and that anti-life bills were stopped. The result of those efforts is that two new pieces of life-affirming legislation will go into law on July 1, 2016 in Georgia and protect thousands of women, children, disabled, and terminally ill patients. The first measure on the books is Senate Science & Technology Committee Chairman Bruce Thompson’s SB...

The Rundown – Pro-Life Legislative Update February 8, 2016

The Rundown - Legislative Days 13-16 Week 4 (Legislative Days 13-16) was spent in meetings, coordinating with other conservative organizations, and formulating strategy for multiple pieces of legislation. Time spent testifying in committees and voting for bills is typically overshadowed by how much time is spent working behind the scenes. Committee Chairmen and members often want to discuss legislation privately and personally so they're able to enter the Committee setting with an...

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,...

Religious Freedom Restoration Act (Setzler)

HB 837, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), authored by Representative Ed Setzler, is the House's legislation that would require courts to use a two-part test when handling religious liberty cases. The first part is determining whether the state has a compelling interest in interfering with the religious expression in question. The second part is determining whether the court is limiting that religious expression in the least restrictive means possible. This legislation is imperative...
