• Our newest blog addition, Right to Life of Michigan, summarizes new polling information from Gallup regarding life issues. Most people favored restrictions and regulations on abortion, especially after the 1st trimester, but the majority also said Roe v. Wade was a good law – which means most people really don’t know Roe: This is where pro-lifers and the importance of educating the public on pro-life issues need to come in. The main reason 58% of the public supports Roe v. Wade is because vast swaths of citizens have no clue what [the law] did.

• Star Studded Super Step discusses reasons the Catholic Church should accept embryo adoption.
• Pro Life Blogs links to Operation Rescue’s updates on the botched abortions of late-term abortionist Dr. Curtis Boyd in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the video below, Boyd describes himself as an ordained Baptist pastor who “asks God to accept the spirit of a pregnancy back into heaven with love and understanding.” Also alarming is the calm voice of the nurse reporting complications of a “post first-term” procedure. That’s a new one:
