January 2013 marks the 40th year of legalized abortion in the United States. We have watched in horror as the ‘slippery slope’ many had predicated continues to degrade the inherent value of human life. The life movement is at a cross roads. There is dissension even among proclaimed ‘prolifers’ on just what is needed to turn our current ‘culture of death’ around. Do we head into the storm – or take a different path? While prolifers may agree on the end goal, the specific strategy on just...
January 2013 marked the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Many refer to Roe v. Wade as the hallmark of abortion law. To be completely accurate, however, it was two landmark cases decided simultaneously that rule abortion law in the United States today. Roe v. Wade reached the Supreme Court on appeal in 1970. The Court delayed action on Roe and a companion case, Doe v. Bolton for a later time. On January 22, 1973 two Supreme Court decisions, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, struck down any and...
If anyone ever needed evidence for the slippery slope oozing from legalized abortion and the degradation of the value of human life…sadly, it’s here! Two philosophy and ethics researchers recently reported that in “circumstances occur[ing] after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible”.

The ideals of Personhood are bold and fresh and are having far-reaching effects – and may be partially responsible for...
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 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...

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...
The Safe Harbor Law (SB 8) and Amendment (SR 7) are two pieces of legislation that are designed to create a fund in Georgia that is dedicated to serving the needs of victims of human sex trafficking. SB 8 and SR 7, introduced in the 2015 Legislative Session by Senator Renee Unterman, give new legal tools to prosecutors to protect underaged victims of sex trafficking and more aggressively pursue charges against pimps and those who solicit minors for sex. Georgia Right to Life recognizes the...
