Most observers of the abortion debate would likely agree that it is primarily a matter of ethics, a contest between the Hippocratic standard of respect for human life and various forms of humanistic pragmatism that allow abortion as a way to address personal and social problems. Resolving that debate has engaged philosophers of medicine, religious […] The post Quality and Integrity in the Great Abortion Data Debate appeared first on Lozier Institute .

Love wins —and Mark Schultz’s story is proof. After recently speaking at the Life Network Gala, Mark joins Rich Bennett for a heartfelt conversation about his adoption and the loving, courageous choice his birth mom made for him. Mark reflects on how pregnancy centers step into the chaos of a crisis moment and offer women and men the hope, peace, and support they need to choose life. He shares how he came to see his birth mother as a hero—and how pregnancy centers often become champions for heroes just like her. Mark also talks about the music he’s currently working on and how his faith and ad

Of course Governor Pritzker signed the assisted suicide bill. Was there ever any doubt? Assisted suicide has become part of the progressive policy agenda. The new Illinois law (SB 1950) contains many of the usual provisions and supposed safeguards. Once the law goes into effect next September, these putative protections will quickly be redefined as “obstacles” to a good death and the inevitable process of legal loosening will commence. This is the point at which I usually urge doctors to refuse participation in the killing of their patients. The law does permit doctors to refuse to actually pr
